*sighs* More bird talk...

J.J. was killed by the lovebirds today. It looks like the lovebirds entered the nestbox and attacked the two chicks, and J.J. got the brunt of it all. He was always the alert one... I like to think that he was trying to protect Jiji.

Jiji's got a head wound, and I don't know how serious it is. My mom took a look at her and cleaned the wound, but I'm afraid that the wound might be deep. I've been entrusted with her for now and I'm watching her as I type. I'm going to let her rest after I set up something to keep her warm.

*sighs* Poor Jack and Jill. One unfertile egg, one trampled chick, one killed chick, and one wounded chick. I really hope she makes it. The fact that she was eating makes me hopeful.

The lovebirds have been taken out of the aviary and quarantined. My dad doesn't think he's gonna let them in the aviary anymore. I hope he doesn't. Duke and Gretel (the budgies) look ready to start nesting, and I don't want their chicks to meet a similar fate. =\

Poor little birdies... now I'm all depressed. And mad at the lovebirds.

Wow. That sounds pretty brutal.

My mom had a lovebird, but it was a single one, so he couldn't really do any damage. She was afraid to take him out of the cage, though. Apparently, if you buy lovebirds in pairs, then all they do is take care of each other and you don't really get to play with them.

;o; poor birdies.

I have a single lovebird and she goes all emo in the bottom of her cage if we don't take her out all the time. She's already six and a half years old, so it's too late to buy a second one to put in the cage with her, because she'd just attack it and probably kill it.
