An absolute joy, but then my middle son trained it by hand to be a loving bird. I've heard of lovebirds that never get out of their cage and bite their owners. Something wrong there. I highly recommend lovebirds.

The book of the Language of Birds I'm sure was a familiar part of your grandfather's legacy.northshorewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390144327668656601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-29017291154864276442010-02-01T19:44:32.805-08:002010-02-01T19:44:32.805-08:00This video reminded me of a sentence in one of my ...This video reminded me of a sentence in one of my favorite books ("Les Horreurs de l'Amour" by Jean Dutour); in the book Jean Dutour says " I will laugh all the way to the grave!"<br />I see her singing as her universe is crumbling around her as the perfect illustration of what he meant!<br />My grandfather had a bird that would come and eat from his tongue (he would stretch his tongue and feed him) He was an eccentric businessman .tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990527249720913076.post-81984859125298515492010-02-01T11:49:34.378-08:002010-02-01T11:49:34.378-08:00Just saw the video.
