Love Tweets in Mysterious Ways

I wonder, how do lovebirds fall in love?

Imagine you're a lovebird for sale. You were placed in a cage at a pet shop with nine other winged buddies. Day in and day out, you had those few square inches to spend your time and think of ways to have fun.

Then destiny came. You and one of your buddies were bought by a lovestruck human. You were placed in a new cage and then you knew that you were bound to spend the rest of your life together--in love.

You might get surprised and say "Ikaw pala..."

But perhaps some lovebirds really try to fight for love once they found destiny inside that cage. Like this lovely couple in Bioresearch.

They were just like that for those few minutes that I stood there--were they whispering soft sweet tweets to each other? I wouldn't know because I don't speak bird language. But then anyone who sees them would definitely take them both. Separation is not an option because the insensitive buyer may just waste his money when one of them dies due to the tragic fate of being paired with an insignificant other.

But then again, would they give love another chance and try to fall for the new bird?  I wouldn't know.

Lovebirds and humans are somehow alike. Aside from the fact that both species tweet, both await for their destiny and once they find it, taking it away is unthinkable. 

I'm just so happy that I already found mine in this cage we call Earth.
