Hi
i  have  recently  bought  a  pair  of  Lutino  lovebirds,  one
Cobalt  masked  and  one  Fischer's  lovebird. The  latter  two  are
a  pair.
Heres  the  pic:

Today  in  the  morning  while  feeding  the  birds  i  opened  the
cage  door,  and  the  male  Cobalt  masked (his  name  is  Jack)
came  out  of  the  cage  and  flew  away  to  a  nearby  tree.  The
other  three  birds  in  the  cage started  to  call  loudly,  but
Jack  was  totally  confused. I  thought  i  lost  the  bird  for
ever.
Suddenly  i  found  two  crows  started  to  chase  poor  Jack  and
pecked  him with  their  large  bills. I  rushed  outside  my  house
to  save  my  bird,  but  couldnt  find  it  anywhere. Then  suddenly
i  heard  a  loud  chattering  call  from  a  distance. I  ran  to
the  place  from  where  the  sound  was  coming  and  found  that
the  crows  again  attacked  my  bird. He  was  sitting  on  the
ground  inside  a  garden. I  somehow  managed to  pick  up  the poor
bird,  and  came  back  home. Finally i  was  able to  rescue  the
bird. Fortunately  the  bird was  not  much  injured. The  crows  had
plucked  off  a  few  body  feathers from  his  neck. Otherwise  my
bird  was  perfectly  all  right. I  had  never  thought  that  i
would  get  him  back.  The  crows  are  really  cruel birds,   they
get  so  much  food  in  my  locality  but still  they  tried  to
kill  my poor  lovebird. If  i  was  little  more  late,  then  those
bloody  crows  wud  have  killed  my  lovebird.  Crows  are  the
birds  i  will hate  the  most from  now  onwards.
i wud  be  thankful  to God  for  saving  the  life  of  my cute
little  bird.

Love your  pets.
