birds birds and more birds!!!

 mangito
which means little mango

after much thought, 

and even some tears 

i decided that mangito, the lovebird

wasn't a good match for me or i for him.

he just wasn't happy.

he would screech and squawk all day long

and once he tried to escape his cage 

and flew into a window

then smashed into a wall

and then smashed into another wall

this was after his wings were clipped.

i felt he needed a mate.

some birds just refuse to bond with a human.

such is the case with mangito.

he was such a beautiful bird

but very neurotic, nervous

and LOUD!

when i ordered the bird i had asked 

for a lorikeet which is an australian parakeet

the store owner couldn't get them in so i 

got the lovebird instead.

but i was uncertain for the beginning

so when i brought him back 

rick wasn't surprised.

so i got a little sweet parakeet instead.

no name yet.

that will come.

but i was pleased that after one day he was

willing to eat out of my hand.

i think he will be more tameable.

no name yet for him
his tail feathers are the color of turquoise
so bob thinks
turquoise bay
baylee
for short.
i am not sure.
any ideas?
