I had the exact same relationship with an identical Cockatiel 40 years ago. People who are not familiar with birds many times find it hard to believe how close of a bond you can develop with them. She was as close to me as any dog that I have ever owned. I still think of her to this day. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@fabianabevis9890]

You have a wonderful life together....I can truly feel the love between the two of you. Even though "Lola" could be a male he/she is absolutely perfect....

[@featheredadventureswithludo]

Thank you for your kind words! And yes, Lola is male but it wasn't clear in the beginning (I got him before birdie puberty) and by the time it was, we were all used to the name. And saying "he" is weird with such a feminine name ;)

[@satoamoy]

I had a lovebird once. They have personalities, likes, dislikes, favorite people and pets, tantrums and loving actions. They are sensient beings and I believe they have what we humans call souls. They get sad and depressed when you leave them behind for work trips or vacations and are super excited when you return. Some can say human words but they are not "dumb" creatures as many people say. Their love is pure and beautiful. Treat them with kindness and love and they will return these right back at you.

[@featheredadventureswithludo]

100% I completely agree with youl

[@twinzzlers]

Cant say the same for my brother's lovebird, its like she was birthed in a fiery pits of Hell itself to unleash as much chaos and death as possible. Also she seduced the parakeet.

[@satoamoy]

Sorry to hear about your brother's lovebird. That was not my experience. I was also acquainted with an Amazon parrot who was also a sweetheart too. I was never a bird pet owner until I was gifted the lovebird but he was such a sweetie, but he was quite young when I received him into my home and I spent quite a bit of time bonding with him before returning to a regular work schedule. When I got home he would be so excited to see me walk in and would make excited sounds, fluff his wings and dance around in his cage waiting by the door until I could let him out. It was like having a dog. He would perch on my shoulder watching everything I did including watching TV, movies and reading. Every so often though he would start his nesting behavior and nibble through the newspaper to make a nest in his cage, but that is what these birds do. Again sorry to hear about your bird.

[@twinzzlers]
