(NOTE ABOUT PICTURE - This is a RARE picture of Julie with her cage door open and her NOT attached to some part of my hand..LOL)
Mean Julie was purchased alone - not good for a love bird. These little birds need and want to be a "pair". She learned early on that if she wanted to be left alone, BITE the hand that feeds you...LOL.
Julie is also a "screamer" - she can hit notes that will leave your ears ringing. I use a shop vac when I lcean out the other bird's cages but with her I scoop her into a large plastic jar, screw on the lid, hurridly clean the cage, seed cups and water bottle and then dump her back in. I use heavy leather gloves - she has bitten right through them. She seems to be happy as long as she is left alone. She and the cockatiels "fuss" at each other, and she sleeps in a plastic drinking cup. I dropped it in her cage one day when I was filling up the inside seed cups and she claimed it and DARED me to try and get it. At night she goes into it head first (the cup is turned over on the side) and in the morning one of the first things I hear are her little toenails clicking on that cup as she back out to greet the world.
Two years ago, she laid 26 non-fertile eggs, and immediately destroyed them. I think she is in perpetual PMS...LOL.
