I'd like you to meet Ruby…

[Ron Drummond]

Hi Jess,

A Basenji she isn't … but a most beautiful black capped lori she most certainly will be.

LoL from our our tricolour puppy girl called Ruby to your rainbow coloured beauty.

Incidentally how can you tell it's a she?

Regards Ron

You never know, she could end up copying Maya's yodelling so she could be an honoury basenji :D

The breeder DNA tested all of the babies to see if they were male or female :)

Sorry i cant join in Jess - am suer she is lovely but birds give me the heebie jeebies!

You will need to give a warning in your titles next so i know if i can safely just look at the pictures of the beautiful Maya & the cute pugs, and avoid those flying things (i dont even eat chicken, have a real phobia about them!)

[sharronhurlbut]

Beautiful…how long to they live?

[Maya]

My mum has bird phobia, she hated it when i used to have all the rescue birds in the house!! I shall be sure to put a warning on next time ;)

Sharron - they live for around 20 years.

We were scared of our parrot when we first got him and I think he knew it. We would open the cage first thing out of his mouth was I BITE and that he would do. Then he get out of cage and thats when the fun would start. There is no way around it they can bite hard now we have a loving happy bird he will even tell you I love you and then I love me he is crazy.

He sounds like a character Rita Jean!!

Lories are known for being very very sweet pets. You cant really get a better pet bird than a hand reared lory, as long as you can cope with the mess! :D

[Maya]

Just some more pictures of Ruby (sorry Scott!!!)

[renaultf1]

She is sooooo cute!!! Can't wait to see her when she is all feathered in! :D She's a beauty…

[Basenjimamma]

Jess, she is so cool. I love how you can tell that she is a baby, but yet she will become a beautiful bird soon..
The last picture is great.

[AJs Human]

Yes, gorgeous!

[Rita Jean]

She really is very cute and so loveable looking. I like the keyboard one I can see she was looking up what she was going to look like with her beautiful feathers.
