Okay, call it the hubris of the inexperienced. I assumed that our sweet little Loco Ono would love Gilda. He seems to when they are both in their cages. He gets on the wall closest to her cage and gyrates like nobody's business.
The problem might be that he loves her a little too much. We put them together on the large playstand. Beeline is probably not the right word. Loco rushed over to Gilda so quickly that I think he completely frightened her. In fact, "rush" might not be the right word. "Lunge" is probably closer to correct. I think he was just excited. After all, Gilda is a beautiful girl.
Once I finish my finals, I will begin the research of the most effective way to introduce two parrots of different species. I am sure it will work out in time. But right now, I am questioning my dream of a happy bird family. But, fingers crossed. It can happen. Can't it?
Oh, and did I mention that Gilda seems to be squawking a lot? The lady at the bird store says it is her baby noise and should not last too much longer. She better have not lied to us. Seriously, better. not. have. lied.
