Peaches (lovebird) is TWO!

I have some nice wooden beads and some other plastic ones sent to me by a
friend along with some colourful pipe cleaners. I think I'll string a new
toy for her when the sun comes up! And give her a slice of Gala apple or a
bit of broccoli to chew on. She devoured a nice spray of millet seed
yesterday

When I saw the heading, I wondered what you'd consider to be a bird's
birthday; the day the egg was lain or the day the bird hatched?
Whichever, Hoppy Bird-day, Peaches!

I guess I should call it her "adoption day" since I've no exact idea but she
was hatched in October, 2003. Most birds aren't sold until they are at
least 6-8 weeks old. I'm very familiar with parakeets/budgerigars but
Peaches is the first lovebird I've ever had. I did quite a bit of research
before I bought her. To be honest, I don't know that she's a SHE. Unlike
parakeets/budgerigars, you can't tell by looking at them. It requires a DNA
test. Frankly, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't care, I don't! She
took a bath in her water dish and has been happily munching on a slice of
Gala apple. Right now she's chirping up a storm so I'd say she's feeling
pretty good. Lovebirds, which are the smallest of the African parrots can
live up to 30 years. She's still a baby! She'll probably outlive me

Happy adoption day, Peaches!
Best wishes,

Oooh, hope I'm not to late to wish Peaches a Hoppy Chirp Day! Or is it
Hoppy Bird Day? Or Hoppy Perch Day?
