- Zura-BlueMasked Lovebird
Hi everyone.
So this week i got a new little Lovebird. its a blue mask that i named 'Zura'.He is roughly 3-4 months according to the lady i got him from. He is parent raised and hasn't been held much by humans. So obviously he is very timed around people. I know it'll be some time before he has any sort of trust for me and im ok with that. But i had a few concerns that i needed help with?
My biggest concerns right now is how often he naps.
yesterday,other than in the morning (he was pretty noisy the first few hours awake) he was pretty quiet most of the day,and he seems to fluff up and nap a lot? Is this typical? I mean he is young..? Or maybe he is just adjusting?
I just figured he would be a lot more noisy during the day? today he was more on the noisy side until around 2,then i dozed off in the room with him,for like 2 hours ( i didnt sleep much last night worrying about him lol) and he was quiet the whole time.
he's been good about eating and drink and i do believe his poop looks normal,I plan to take him to a vet in a few days anyway,its just a matter of finding and Avian vet near my home.
I have 7 people living in my house and two small dogs,so i stuck his cage in a more high traffic area to get use to us being around him,But im concerned if this isnt to much for him to take too soon?
Ive been trying to get a bird, a lovebird,for over a year now and i just wanna be a good owner,so maybe im over thinking things but i could really use the advice and any tips anyone has on taming lovebirds?
