    Post Introducing Anakin

    I caved. I spoke with my partner last night about a little lovie in the RSPCA shelter down the road. I was surprised that he was all for going to see him. We walked down there and he was sat on a perch, completely still, with a corella in the cage next to him going absolutely nuts. They kept the birds very well - they had huge cages and lots of good food. Plenty of toys and proper perches. It was good to see.

    Anyway, I met the little guy and decided to get him. He's beautiful. I had thought he was pied from his pic, but it turns out he's a regular Australian Cinnamon. I couldn't get a good picture of his tail feathers.





    I don't know how old he is or anything. He came in an as a stray, so there was very little info about him. They vet checked him and microchipped him and have said that he's healthy. I have him in quarantine at least until I can get him to a vet for a check up. In the second picture, you can see his banded leg is missing a claw, and probably part of the toe. It looks like an old injury as it's totally healed over. He's eating well, drinking plenty of water, and his poops are fine. I don't think he's very hand shy, but only time will tell if that's true. I read a chapter of a book to him this morning and he seemed perfectly content. So all in all, a happy bird, if not a little scared of all the new people and things.

    He and Luna have been singing to each other all morning.

    Oh my goodness what a cutie! SPCA here does not keep any birds. You are so lucky to have this little one. Do you know he is a he for sure? I feel a signature coming. The second photo would be good to use so all I need is one of your other bird.

    They don't have many birds, but the building is massive and they have their own room with cages. It was such a nice place.

    They told me he was a he, but when I asked if he was DNA sexed, the lady couldn't say. I don't think the people doing the introductions and paperwork really knew much beyond what was on the vet's paperwork. I'm taking him to my avian vet in a few weeks. I'll find out for sure then.

    I have heaps of photos of Luna you can use. I'll find one in a bit.

    I love him!!! I hope to be adopting a new lovie myself soon so it's so nice to see that your ASPCA carries them! Ours does not, but we do have several parrot rescues.. Also I love his colors! Mine is just a normal green, but I love the 'whites' on him as well!

    I hope he turns out to be an amazing bird!

    I'd been keeping my eye on the RSPCA's adoption website for about a month. He was one of I think 2 lovebirds that popped up in that time. I saw his profile maybe 4 days ago and kept going back to it. They had a better photo of the colours on his back and tail than I currently have. He's a very pretty bird.

    Looking at him again, I think I might be wrong about his colour mutation. He doesn't have pink feet. My guess is edged dilute / marbled.
