Re: Peach Face Lovebird Regurgitating
Posted by victoria on 10/30/06

Thank you! I had already removed the bell on Sunday. I washed
it off again and the bird was so upset and immediately started
regurgitating on it again. Common sense told me that it could
not be healthy for my bird. He wasn't too happy that the bell
dissappeared. (he has plenty of other toys) I thought it odd
that he didn't become bonded to this bell until the day I put
him into the bigger cage. Yesterday I bought a "companion" on a
trial bases... I'm keeping them in separate cages until I see
whether my bird will be territorial to the other. If mine is a
male, I'm told it will not allow another male into his domain
gracefully, so I am going to wait a day or two before trying to
put them together in the same cage. Do you agree? I am open to
any and all advise! THANKS
