Cassiel says hi to the world!

[Cephillion]

Cassiel in my pet lovebird, whom I've had for over a year. I've been unable to get photos of him for a long time because I didn't have a working camera, but now I do and I want to show you those photos.

Prepare for Cassiel's epic squee cuteness to appear! Seriously, I just wanna hug that boy.

Most of them are huge, so I'll post links. Make sure you see them eventually if you're too busy righ now - he's just too cute to miss. And yeah, sorry for discarding my modesty.


Squeee! That's Cassiel being half-giraffe and half-raptor.

(Don't worry, I didn't squeeze Cassiel or anything. He just struggles whenever I'm holding him with my hsands for more than a few seconds.)

(That's Cassiel twisting his head around 180 degrees to preen his feathers. )

(That's Cassiel being a vulture.)

Omgcute. I love lovebirds and parrots and such; they're so adorable.

Where did you find such a lovely bird? x3 How hardy are lovebirds, compared to say... conures or budgies?

[Cephillion]

I love parrots too! -high five-

We bought him from a breeder guy. He looks mostly like a peach-faced lovebird, but his unusually prominent eye rings have led us to believe that he might be part Fischer lovebird.

xD I myself prefer budgies. Cassiel can bite hard - he's made me bleed a few times. He's also really hyper in the day. xD We can handle his energy, but I like quiet budgies more. Once my sister's friend brought over her budgie for us to take care of for a few days since she was going away. The budgie was so gentle and mild, unlike Cassiel lol.

[Devil's Advocate]

That's so surprising... Every budgie we've ever met has been so nasty.

I wonder if the breeder handled him a lot when he was little. Lack of handling can lead to a bitey bird.

[Cephillion]

LOL rent a lovebird for a few months then? -pushes Cassiel towards you- After a few months of suffering their bites, when a budgie bites you you'll just be, "Was THAT a bite? o____o"

That happened to me when the friend brought her budgie over. Tne bites hardly felt like bites lol. It was much more like a really soft nibble.

[Cephillion]

And about him being bitey; We don't know. x) We bought him when he was quite little, and we played with him a lot. (Back then it was reverse; he was the quiet one, and we kids were the hyper ones) But normally he doesn't bite unless I accidentally hold him in a way that pains him - it's his way of letting me know that he doesn't like it.

It could have something to do with his genes too. Hybrids can sometimes be more temperamental, if Cassiel is a hybrid at all.
