Daffy rescues Lucky

Here is a photo of Daffy on a bad hair day. That, or, he was experimenting with styling gel.

Tonight the little parakeet named Lucky was sitting on a perch in the living room with Daffy. That's good because it teaches Lucky that he can just watch what is happening and not get stressed out. He learns this through Daffy's behavior.

Unexpectedly Zoey (a more aggressive bird) flew to the perch too and there was a lot of wing flapping going on until Daffy ended up back on the small perch and Lucky and Zoey were on top of Zoey's cage together. Zoey looked as if she were going to injure little Lucky and Daffy let out a scream. Zoey halted and I swooped in to put Lucky back on the safe perch with Daffy.

I was amazed that Daffy showed that sort of protectiveness toward Lucky. I was surprised his scream stopped a near disaster. I don't think Lucky learned anything...he seems a little dim.
Anyway, I was very proud of Daffy.

I am grateful for Daffy. I had no idea I would come to love him so much. He is one of the favorite birds that attends my bird meetings and gives his breed (Indian Ringneck Parakeet) a good name.
