Everybody thinks their pet is the best thing since sliced bread. In my case however, there is no need for exaggeration. You see, I own… Well, to be accurate… I am owned by a lovebird.
No, that’s not one of my photos… My baby is way cuter than that and would refuse to stand still long enough for me to snap a good picture.
Our little agapornis is of the Dutch Blue variety, which means he has a peach forehead, a pale yellow face, wings and body in various shades of green, and bright cobalt blue back and tailfeathers. He’s gorgeous.
Personality? Oh my… He thinks he’s a bird of prey, but he’s really a bird of play. Half falcon, half bat, half clown, half not so good with fractions. This little guy is just so much fun! Am I turning into one of those people that buys Christmas presents for their pets? Yikes, I think so.

You haven’t fallen into the dark side until your pet has her/his own Christmas stocking. And of course my dog IS the cutest pet EVER! It’s indisputable.

Aw, how adorable! I on the other hand absolutely love birds as pets, we always had cockatiels around when I was a little girl. I’m trying to talk Jack into getting a parrot with me but he is not as fond of birds as I am.

Sounds like a great pet, but of course, I prefer my birds small enough to eat…

Yep, I ended up spending $25 at PetCo. Got him a new toy, some spicy El Paso nutriberries, and believe it or not… a parrot pinata!
