New Rubino today
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2018 5:08 am
So today I went to pick up a female Zeeb for Cheeks (which I got, her name is Sleipnir, aka "Lady Friend") and also ended up getting this beautiful baby girl. Me and an employee thought of the name "Opal" at the exact same time, so the name stuck.
It is very rare for Nature to get Bourkes so the fact that they had a rubino was incredible. Also incredible that she hadn't been reserved the instant she'd arrived at the store 2 months earlier (Nature hand rears budgies and other small hookbills). She's a bit scruffy looking cause she's only about 3 months old and only just recently molted. She's an absolute sweetheart and the two employees in charge of the bird section were really happy that I bought her. Apparently there's a lot of people who didn't like her simply because her eyes were red.
Here's Ruby (left) and Graphite (right) investigating Opal. Ruby and Graffy have free reign of my room during the day and they came over to investigate as soon as Opal was out of the box.
These birds are so sweet and it looks like they'll be good friends.
