Ok so, I'm getting a lovebird on Saturday (most likely), and for complicated reasons and this really is my best option--I'm not going to get a fully weaned bird(he's almost weaned, all but, but just not quite there). The breeder is going to explain thoroughly how to care for him and transition, but I'm still a bit worried... this is going to be my first bird, not my first animal though. With animals I have plenty of experience, just not parrots.
So, the fact that I'm not getting a fully weaned bird is unavoidable. And yes, I am also only getting one, also no changing that... Any tips and suggestions, general care tips and whatnot, things you wish you'd known when you got your first bird/lovebird...?
Does anybody have birds and a dog, and any suggestions how to safely introduce them without risking my feathered friend? There won't be any problem keeping them separated and safe, but I'd like to introduce them to each other at some point so they can be in one room, and I'm nervous my pupper won't be thrilled.
Also what should we be buying before we get the bird? I've got a general idea but a more concrete list wouldn't hurt.
Many thanks for any and all help <3
