lovebird behavior

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...

Hey everyone, So one of my lovebirds (female called Monty, 4 years old) has been pulling out feathers for a while. It got to the point where she had no tail feathers left and pretty much no feathers on her back at all. Then she started digging into the skin on her back which caused bleeding :(...

Hello! I just got a lovebird from a women who was giving her away on craigslist. I have had a cockatiel, parrotlet and sun conure in the past but they had to stay with my parents when I left for college so now I am just with my new lovebird. She has a totally weird personality that I'm trying...

Hey all, I'm getting a 'wife' for my Male lovebird. He's really aggressive towards most humans. He likes me but basically hates everyone else. He loves my cockateil (male) but dislikes my Indian Ringneck (female). Do you have any advice on how to introduce him to his new female? My plan is...

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...

Hello, I'm new here and the only reason I'm posting this is because I want to know if there is anything anyone can tell me to help my bird. I have an 8 year old love bird named Cash. I've had him since he grew feathers and was aloud to come home from the pet shop. A few years ago I was forced...

I have an older Lutino lovebird that came from a neglectful home. I adopted her in 2008 from a home that had her for four years, and they got her from a friend that had her for around the same amount of time. When I got her to the avian vets she had liver and kidney damage, weak beak, splay...

I recently had to hand feed two baby lovebirds. They are doing super well. They're eating on they're own like big birds. Lately when I've had to handle them one of them always bite me. They fight with each other all the time but will panic if the other leaves it. It's usually durning one of...

Hello, I have a blue-masked lovebird, Tom, and I have had him just over a year. This whole year he has been so friendly and we were best friends. First thing in the morning he would fly over to my bed as soon as I would wake up to cuddle and be pet. He would always be on my shoulder when I was...
