Single untamed Lutino peach-faced lovebird for adoption (San Diego CA)
If you are a bird person, the phrase "single lovebird" should be terrifying.
In May 2019, an elderly man passed away with no plans for his 3 birds (2 lovebirds, 1 cockatoo). A family friend took all 3 in and, although their heart was in the right place, between their lack of knowledge and their child's mistreatment 1 lovebird passed away. I adopted the remaining 2 birds in July 2019.
The untamed Lutino peach-faced lovebird (Rose) has been flocked with my 2 green cheek conures for about 1 year. It's been months of stress and arguments, but the wild type GCC gets along with Rose maybe 30% of the time while the yellow-sided GCC chases him away (all are flighted).
I would like to find Rose a better home. While mine has worked out well enough for the last year, I believe Rose would benefit from joining a flock of like-minded lovebirds who want companionship and grooming as much as he asks from the GCCs.
I would also like to keep in contact for 1-2 months to make sure Rose is settling in well, and I am willing to take him back if things don't work out. Again, I don't want to get rid of this bird, I still care about him and just want what's best for him.
Rose has health records with Dr Jenkins at the Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital. Dr Jenkins believes that, based on behavior, Rose is a male but this has not been confirmed with testing.
Please comment or DM if you have a flock of lovebirds open to another member or a recently orphaned lovebird who needs a new companion. We can work out details (who goes where, COVID-19 precautions, etc.) in DMs. Thank you.
