lissie So, it’s been a while!
In the last few months since I’ve posted, Valen has continued to be in quarantine. Poor little guy has being having a real hard time with mites. There may be damage to his little cere, so we’re waiting for the all-clear so I can bring him in here and he can be with the other boys.
And. yeah. Boys. It turns out that Adira is actually Londo. It’s something we suspected with all his male behaviours, but now it’s official. When I started to realise he might be a boy, I stopped calling him ‘Adira’ and stopped saying ‘Good Girl’. Not soon enough, though. >.> He’s running around, saying ‘Good girl’ all the time. Ooops!
Speaking of. Well. Speaking.
He’s been talking heaps lately. “Gimme a kiss” is probably his favourite, though “I love you” was his first one. Since then, he’s been saying ‘Good girl’ and. As of today, “Come here”, as well.
But in the last week or so, he’s been saying “Chirp chirp” nonstop. It’s the most wonderfully obnoxious thing and I hadn’t actually intended to teach him that. It just goes to show with baby birbs: if you say something a lot to them, they’re going to pick it up.
I love it dearly.
His wing is still hurting, though. According to his vet, it’s strained and he keeps injuring it. But I can try to keep him calm and stuff, but when he starts deciding he -will- flap right this second, I can’t really stop that.
Tally has been a bit more standoffish lately, but Ivy is still a little millet monster. Little girl is just hilarious. She’s definitely the big boss out of the two of them. She’s also -so- tiny. I didn’t really appreciate the size difference from wild budgies and normal types. Lyta had been part English, so I really wonder what Ivy and Lyta would have looked like next to each other. I mean, Lyta looked -huge- compared to tiny and petite Tally.
And now Tally looks huge compared to Ivy.
Kosh is not happy. His jealousy has been getting worse since we brought Londo home. I would love to spoil him, but he’s making a point of showing me just how angry he is with me. All I can do is hope that he forgives me eventually. >.>
