A lovebird
Hi, my name is Sherbrook alias Cheekie Bum . I got this lovely name from my mom and my alias from my grandma whom I stay with when my mom is away. However, I was only 5 weeks when I was purchased from a pet store. Now, that I have grown up, my name has been changed to Shelly as, I am a little girl. I am a peach-faced lovebird. Sometimes I can be very sweet and loveable... but when you rattle my cage so to speak, I get a little hyper.

I live at home through the week and stay at Grandma's on the weekends. My friends live at Grandma's house. There is Blondie and Dagwood (Creamino and Lutino) Mickey and Minnie ( Fischers) Baby and Sunshine (Dutch blue and Creamino),Jack and Jill ( Normal Peach-faced). They all live in the Aviary or in the Bird Room. I like to go there and hang out. When we all get together it becomes a mad house when everyone is scheeching at once. I have the free-run of the house and this upsets the others. Sometimes I even tease them by flying around the room and hopping from cage to cage. This makes them screech and holler till I get put into my cage too. It was fun while it lasted.

Jack and Jill had a clutch of three little ones. These were being look after by mom and dad for the first few weeks. And sure enough, I came back to Grandma's house and they had taken up residence in the kitchen. I usually have pancakes and sometimes I like toast and tea on Sunday morning with the family. Lately, I seem to be left upstairs quite a bit now when I come to visit. Although, I don't mind these little ones. They are pretty colors. They are all peach-faced lovebirds. These babies are really friendly and very sweet. There are always new little one around the house now. Baby is one of(Jack and Jill's)little one's has grown up now. He is mated with Sunshine a(Creamino)and they have 8 eggs due to hatch in a week, and a older clutch that is about 10 weeks old. Baby and Sunshine have many different colors of babies, some are sea-greens, dutch-blues (turquoise blue) and slate(mavue). They are still been hand-fed every 3 hours by Grandma which takes a lot of time. They will join the group of my friends in about another month or so. They are staying in the kitchen. Everytime I go into the kitchen they are flying around and playing with Grandma. They really cramped my style.

They will make a good pet for someone. They will be leaving soon and they too will have a good home. Hopefully ,they will find someone to love them and take care of them. It can't be soon enough for me.

I know that I have been spoiled and have been the center of attention since I first came home. Now things seem to be changing because I have grown up and I have become more mature. I have some responsibilies now, like building a nest in my craker box. I like to build the nest out of any paper that is lying around the house like bills and any important papers I happen to find on Grandma's table. Every few months I lay an egg. However because I am a pet and don't have a mate I will never have a baby or a clutch. I can get a little grochie now and then especially when I am going to lay an egg. You know just like PMS. But, for the most part my life is filled with fun things to do and I do a lot of traveling. I enjoy being with my friends and my family.
