Thank you @onamom, I think so too
Thank you Uncle Boats - it sounds like we both had successful vet visits this week!
Actually they're pretty rare as pets even here. My vet says he's the only varied lorikeet kept as a pet that he sees at his clinic, all the others are breeders and they are few and far between as well. I've wanted one ever since I first saw one in a pet shop about 30 years ago and was a bit too intimidated by the special diet etc to buy it at the time. I haven’t seen any in shops ever since then so I was very lucky to have found him
The little terrorist is playing hide and seek down the back of the couch now …
Oh, seeing those two besties together warms my heart! What a wonderful, special relationship they have.Thank you @onamom, I think so too
The little besties are none the worse for wear after being poked and prodded and needled at the vet and happily playing together this morning. And I'm still waiting for that one last green feather to fall out of that sea of red on Lovejoy's head!
Oh it does mine too
I'm particularly happy for Val, he has someone his own size (more or less) that he can be besties with now, who doesn't put him in hospital the way Lilly once did!!
Aww, that must make Val so happy to have a buddy like Lovejoy!Oh it does mine too
When it's right, it's rightIt really does suit him, he manages to pack a lot of both into that tiny little body! I've had the name picked out for a while, just waiting for him to come along and claim it
So adorable!! Reminds me the song --- I will follow you, wherever you may go
Yes they are, and yes it does! Watching the two of them play together is just the best pastime everSo adorable!! Reminds me the song --- I will follow you, wherever you may go
One of these days, I hope I will pay them a personal visit. What kind of gift should I bring along you think??Yes they are, and yes it does! Watching the two of them play together is just the best pastime ever
Oh you could bring him some grevillea “Honey Gem” flowers. Lovejoy loves to eat them, the rest of the flock loves to destroy them – you’d be verrrrrrrrrrrry popular with the whole flock if you bring some of those!
Gotcha
You got it, Stormy! He only knows two states of being - he's either being feisty or he's sound asleep and recharging for more feistiness!
ValThank you Uncle Boats - it sounds like we both had successful vet visits this week!
It wouldn’t actually surprise me if Lovejoy held on to that one green feather. Val has one yellow feather among all the stripey ones in back of his head, perhaps Lovejoy might hold on to his stray green one too!

Romek
Awwwwww Rozzy, Romek was such a handsome boy tooVal
A yellow feather among stripes! Romek had exactly the same thing and I was curious what it means. I thought that maybe some sort of mutation? But it was kinda weird to me that only this one place was affected (Romek had it in the same place as Val)
I'm so happy that he and Val have that stray feather in common, that's so cute!!
