Meet LYB. He is Part 1 of grief therapy for me. My true friend and much loved flockmate Birdie (in my avatar) died in a terrible accident and I've been completely devastated for nearly a month. Birdie was a human imprinted bird--and I was a bird-imprinted human, so the bond went deeper than anything I can explain...so I won't.

Anyway, my first Psittaciformes is a lutino rosy-faced lovebird, a small African parrot. He's a mighty mite who should (barring accident) live longer than I will. LYB (Little Yellow Bird) is 2.5 months old and still very shy, but he is already learning to "step up" and answer my whistles when I am in another room. I was studying some things for the written and doing some practice weight and balance problems when LYB decided to investigate the printer.

(He will not, however, be allowed to live inside the printer. My Birdie wanted to live there, too. I ended up having to hide my printer!)

Does this bird speak? If so, might be a good study guide!

Cool looking bird though. Where's his arms?
 
He might learn to speak, but he won't have the vocabulary of his larger cousins. It would be something if I could read aloud the FARs to him and then have him quiz me. Heh heh.

He has flight issues. Poor bird's wings are clipped, but he can still take off and glide. he just tries to land gear up all the time though. He'll learn, hopefully without breaking his keel in the process.

Lov your lutino parrot.

I had a lutino parakeet when I was a teen. My brother's blue parakeet had a birthdate of July 4, so he was Uncle Sam, or Sammy. When my bird joined the family, her name became Miss America, or Missy. Sammy imitated the neighbor's canary. People who visited us would hear the canary call and stare at my beautiful yellow parakeet trying to figure out what was going on.

I'd love to have a bird, but Sarah the Domestic Shorthair Cat would love to have a bird-snack, and she has repeatedly proven she is well up to the task of capturing and (on the floor in my son's room) devouring live boids.

So no birds for us!

Thank you--although I tell LYB (Little Yellow Bird) he would look better as a nice Skylane. :) Hmm...wonder if I can print one of those out...? I'd need a very large format printer...
