lovebird behavior

Hello! Does anyone know why my lovebird is doing this? Is this just a behavioural thing or does he have an illness? His tail moves up and down very fast like it’s vibrating and he would make clicking noises. He acts normal and is very active! Any thoughts? Thanks :)

Hello! I hope you’re having a good day. Alright so I’m new lovebird owner I know absolutely adore and Love mine. I got it about 2 weeks ago from a bird store. First of all, they weren’t treating the poor guy well there, and they were keeping Like 20 of them in one small cage and grabbed them...

Hello everyone, I just had my Lovebird from the breeder, he told me it is 2 months and half, but until now she can't eat the seeds. It is lazy a little bit, she doesn't drink water I have to give her water with syringe, is it normal? When can I give her bath? How often should I feed her the...

Hello stranger! Thank you so much for reading and helping me out. About him/her (Sterling): 3 months old, hand raised by another person. Previous owner mentioned he was probably going through pavaporni, or the rebellious teenager face of lovebirds. He was used to being out of his cage all day...

Hi guys! 4 days ago i bought a turquoise lovebird from a breeder. First of all can you help me determine her age since the breeder was unsure. Now to proceed with my concerns. To start it off she was very happy and exploring her cage when we got her. The next day she was flying out of the cage...

Hello! I have looked all over for more information on love birds and while a lot of it has been helpful I would love to hear from real people about a concern I have. I have two young lovebird siblings named Zuko and Azula. I'm not exactly sure of their age (or gender) but I was told they were...

I have a hand-fed, hand tamed lovebird who was born in my aviary. I take her out every day and keep her with me for 2-3 hours. However, when I try to put her back in the cage she becomes desperate not to go in it. She hates being inside the cage during day and night. When inside she is always...

Hi everyone! This is my first post, hope you guys can help me out. :51: I own two lovebirds. Rocky has always been at the top of the pecking order. Paapi below or equal too him. The last few days I’ve noticed both of them rubbing their beak on the cage bars and chewing them as if wanting to...

So my male Lovebirds original mate is quite a messy female and always throws her food and water around. Not to mention, she was very aggressive. What I ended up doing was introduce another, more docile female to him but he attacks her when she gets near him. I am 100% sure of their genders...

Hello everyone in the forum, I'm new here and happy to meet all of you. Unfortunately I'm looking for some very serious advice, yesterday afternoon one of my lovebirds had passed away all of a sudden. She was always with her siblin, I know that even if they are siblings they form a very tight...

Our lovebird has developed a small twitch once or twice a minute, he twists/twitches his little body to his right, and peeps. Has anyone seen a symptom like this?

Hi guys I'm new to bird keeping, but I saw a pair of love birds 12 weeks old and fell in love. Anyway, I have been looking for a while for a almost 'model' of taming a pair of love birds. (most seem to be directed at a single bird). I have had them coming up to 3 weeks now and I'm making...

Hello everyone! I've recently gotten a new lovebird which I've had for about 5 days. The bird is of course afraid and skittish and is scared of my hands. Although the bird is not afraid to take treats from my hand, they will reconsider if they have to step on my fingers to reach them first :o ...

Hi everyone! I'm the new mom of an untamed peach-faced lovebird who is around 7 months old for about 1 month now. He has his wings clipped but out of cage will usually attempt to fly from surface to surface in my bedroom every once in awhile, usually without issue for short distances. 2 days...

My parents adopted two parrots about an year ago, a green cheeked conure and a peach faced lovebird. They are kept in an open enclosure in our living room and are allowed to fly around our house. Several people have told us it would take a while for them to settle down but that eventually they'd...

Hello all! Back in April '16 I adopted a 1 year old lovebird who I named Eleanor. She is very social and curious and loves to shred paper and decorate herself. I rescued her from an unfortunate situation where she had been bred twice back to back at her very young age. Her old owner would...

So, you know how lovebirds are very into companionship? (The guy at the pet store lectured me for 30 minutes about how they like only one person and that's it, even though I've bought handfuls of birds from that store, you ever have that happen to you? :34:) I was told that he would fall...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum as I just got my first lovebird. He is two months old and I have had him since Saturday. I noticed he has been sleeping a lot, most of the day. He occasionally moves to eat or preen himself, but not much. He does have plenty of room and toys. I'm not sure...
