As some of you may recall, I had decided to get my Canary, Luciano, a bride.
As unexpected things sometimes happen (sometimes even for the good) I ended up with two brides for my boy ( two for the price of one ).
So, after several days of making googly eyes at one another, with the girls chirping and winking, and Luciano singing hard enough to bust, I decided that an introduction was in order.
Grabbing the girls, I let them fly into Luchi's domain.
Well.... you all should have seen his face. The poor guy's eyes almost popped out of his orange head as his song turned into a meek 'peeeyou' sound and a couple of feathers half rose up in consternation.
Sofia, ignored him, heading for the nearest food bowl. Sienna, on the other hand, made a bee line for his perch, fluttering her pretty tail and giving him the come hither look.
My poor boy, went YIKES! and ran away. Well let not a determined female be deterred by a shy male, she followed him, untill it was a free style chase around the flight.
Suddenly Luciano, saw Sofia with her pretty hairdo, and he hit the brakes, with Sienna running into his backside.
'Hello there, ' he croaked, a little out of breath.
Sofia, glanced at him, and said, 'Twit!' then went back to eating.
Not taking the hint, he hopped on to the perch she was on, and sidled up to her.
'Get away from me fool!' (even I got that that one). Luciano however (poor innocent that he is), took it for an invitation to get down to business. He tried to jump her, only to be met by an open beak and a hiss.
Turning tail and retreating, he ran into Sienna, flutterng eyelashes and tail simultaneously. ....
Needless to say, my poor innocent boy had an interesting afternoon, as his days of bachelorhood came to a rather abrupt end.
