I had a very intresting thing happen a few weeks ago. My boyfriend (James) was comming home from work, and at the front of our apartment was a bird,he watched it for a moment, assuming it would fly away as he got closer, it didnt, so, he reached down a picked it up, to his amazement the bird cuddled in close to him and when he tried to put him down the bird followed him.
Now, im no expert on birds...but dont they usually try to get away from humans? Anyway...James brought him inside for me to see, he's a small bird with wings that are tipped with white, he is very calm and loves to be held and sit on a shoulder. Hummmmm strange I thought, so I did what every good PC junkie would do...went to search for what kinda bird we had here.
What I found was, that he or she...is a white winged dove!
so with that we named (he or she) Stevie.If your not familar, Stevie Nicks sang a song about a white winged dove.
Now Stevie is really a very special bird, I would never had considered myself as a bird lover, as far as having one for a pet, but I guess I am afterall. He loves to take a bath in the tub, and then the really remarkable thing is, he likes to be blow dried! I know, thats just incredible. He whistles when you leave the room, he loves to sit on your arm while watching tv. More to come as we continue our relationship!
