I couldn't wait for the weekend, so I called the breeder and he said come on over.

Introducing my new pair, red-head lilac breast male, and black head purple female.

I have some tentative names picked out but will wait until I get to know them and see what names fit them.

First pic was taken with no flash, second with, so colours will be a little different.

They are bopping around the cage, and I saw the female eat. Now I just have to watch and make sure I see them drink!

I am so happy for you. I can feel your excitement!! $\:D/$

There's nothing quite like the high of bringing home new birdies. They look beautiful and very healthy.

Now hurry up with the names....don't make us wait...lol!

She drank! I had to move the water tube slightly, and then she went straight to it and drank, and he followed shortly after. Thats a huge relief, to see them eat and drink.

I am going to call them Navarre and Isabeau, from the movie Ladyhawke.

They seem to like their names, if I sit a few feet away and talk to them sweetly they tilt their heads and listen.

Kiko, I hope that they have access to more water than just the tube. I always worry that the tubes dont provide enough water.
