Well he hasn't "met" them yet... quarantine and all that, but he is verrrrrry excited by their little "meep"s and "beep"s. He has started a very awkward imitation of them... MEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP!" Horrifying.
They will meet on or about 3-31-25.

Yes, every depraved rooster's fantasy... dainty, curvy twins.

Moderators, please don't throw us off the Forums!

What a difference between the RB and the Beckys! A Patagonian Dictator and two sweet little peepers! You need to have a dedicated thread just for the Beckys.

*GASP*
You are right!
I am ON THIS!
ON THIS!

Oh my!
Those poor Beckys

Names?

Wellllllllllllllllllllll...

Since I can hardly tell them apart, and since they are such an identical being in movement and habits... AND they'd never learn to respond to a different name .
I was stymied about names until I gave in and just dubbed them... The Beckys.

Becky was a worker at the bird store.

So I guess I have Becky 1 and Becky 2?

Or just...
The Beckys.

Bird store Becky must have gotten a real kick out of their name(s)! How often does a customer name their bird(s) after you!

And I named TWO after her.
Actually, she looked kinda like a zebra finch... petite, feminine stature, salt'n'pepper coiffure, pretty tangerine lipstick, perky behavior...
Becky, Becky and Becky.

I am oft portrayed as a curmudgeon and a bird antagonist, in particular a mortal enemy of the Rickeybird. Not altogether untrue.

However, I actually LIKE the finches. They are tiny, cute, harmless, pretty.
There ya go. I stand redeemed.

Congratulations I admire that you are honest that you don’t have time for another parrot. There are some days that I truly feel overwhelmed.

 

[Cali&Pilot]

I have longed for more birds over the years, buttttttt...

I just don't have time/resources/space/life expectancy (lol) to take on another parrot. Plus, the Rb is so intolerant, aggressive, and evil that it just wouldn't work.

Solution? Finches! Specifically, a pair of Zebra Finch hens, discovered and obtained on impulse (long story). They're in quarantine in a far end of the condo now but... I am enchanted!

They're wonderful. Beautiful, energetic, BRDZSZSZS!
I have challenges - converting to pellets, maximizing diet, designing cage, finding toys...
But just LOOK AT THEM!

This is a new adventure. It might be good for some of you in a similar situation.

I have heard, and I don't know if its true, but I've heard that finches don't get very tame
