Description
This is my lovebird Pickle.
She loves shredding paper and doesn't care if it's valuable or not. She can't read so and documents and letters have to be hidden before she comes out to play.
Some lovebird species are known for shredding strips of paper and tucking them under their wings. They shred with precision and each strip is uniform in width with ragged edges. The strips are usually as long as the piece of paper. It is not uncommon for a female lovebird to look like she is wearing a paper skirt after a shredding session. Some lovebirds will take the paper back to a nesting cavity; however others won�t necessarily do anything with the paper after tucking it under the wings. In many cases they simply fly away and the paper strips fall to the ground.

Such gorgeous colors in the feathers. Pickle seems to like to be a bit of a trouble maker or playful soul.
