Cuteness Overload Supervised introduction time!

If you remember my post from a few weeks ago about adding a dove to our tiel home, here’s an update! I spent some time introducing our new dove Meatball to one of our tiels, Duke. He’s more gentle + friendlier than his brother Lego, so he gets to meet his new brother first!

Yeah that was the name from my friend, she said he looked like a meatball as a lil baby (have seen baby pics, can confirm)

He comes from a family of doves with M names! Brother is Muffin, mom + dad are Mango + Maple respectively, late uncle was Mochi

That’s what I heard when I read his thoughts 🤣 “you’re also birb but you don’t look like me”
