Get Back to Where You Once Belonged

We had to separate Lucy and Louie today.  Louie won't leave Lucy alone and will do anything to get to her... including landing on the babies in the nest and constantly chasing her.  After they both tumbled to the floor of the cage, we decided that was it ... Louie is on his own again.

It was a tough decision as Louie helped with much of the feeding and was very protective of the babies.  (Whenever we try to shoot pictures, he tries to get between the camera and the babies! They both stop feeding when we start watching ... freeze like statues.) We kept him close by so he won't be lonely.
