Hi, my lovebird was making noises when he was breathing (kind of sounded like a fart), and perching himself with his belly lower. He is able to eat and drink and perch, but because of covid-19 all my local vets aren't taking birds that aren't actively dying right then and there. After coming...
My Vet has prescribed 1ml of baytril and 11/4 ml of meloxicam daily for my sick bird. Several people have told me this is too much and they only gave their sick birds 1 drop a day. I've also spent hours researching the dosage online and I cant find anyone that recommend such a high dose. The vet...
Hey guys,
I'm new to the site so first of all just wanted to say hi!
I have a 10 month old female lovebird that just laid an infertile egg yesterday. I took away her nest, and she seems to be doing fine. She's eating and drinking normally and even comes out of the cage to play.
However, today...
Two days ago, I got a lovebird that the owner says is 6 weeks old. He said that it was off the formula, and gave me a bag of Zupreem pellets to feed it (image attached). The bird eats very well, and is learning how to use the bottle but we have a small dish of water as well. However, it seems to...
I have two beautiful lovebirds which will be 2yrs old in June. Before now I assumed they were both male because they hadn't laid any eggs. However in the past couple weeks they appeared to be copulating and this week egg laying started.
The first egg was laid in their food dish. So I quickly...
Hi! I'm kind of concerned with my lovebird, but im not sure if this is just the normal molting process? Below is the best picture I have of his neck but when he stretches out its actually all around his neck and seems to be spreading upwards to his head.
A few days ago he managed to escape...
Hello, so I have a 1 day old lovebird and dont know what to do, I have formula, and im keeping him warm with an infrared light, i also have a termometer to measure the temperature, how often should I feed him and should I feed him throught the night? I have him because my boyfriend's lovebirds...
Hi y’all! I’m back with another post about Fig (turns out he’s a boy not a lady), but I’m wondering what his mutation is?
(also yes his wing is growing back! (my last post is a comparison and explanation) he’s currently moulting so it’s going pretty good!)
**these were the best photos i could...
I’ve had this lovebird for about 6 years, he’s never been bonded to another bird but gets plenty of attention from our big family. A few months ago I noticed an open wound on his back, I live in a very secluded area no bird vets and no one knows how to help, the wound doesn’t seem to be getting...
Hello! I am picking up my hand fed/raised lovebird in a week. I have the cage and toys and other supplies. Haven’t purchased the food yet but will be doing so this week. I Purchased a rather large cage. The woman I have purchased the bird from has a second lovebird that is also being hand...
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...
Hey everyone,
Basically, to start things off, we got 3 new lovies from someone who was neglecting them. All 3 had clipped wings, although 2 black cheeked lovies had their wings growing back and they could somewhat fly. The other is a white-ish lovie (similar to a blue opaline) and her wing...
:green1:I have a female lovebird of 1.5 month. She is hand-raised by me, and has weaned about 2 weeks ago. She has grown a great fondness for apple and today she finishes the half of a big apple! She has eaten a lesser amount of seeds today. And the seeds were removed before givint it too her...
Hey guys! So I totally caught the bird bug and I’m thinking about getting a second bird. I’ve narrowed down my options to either a GCC or a peachie.
I’m totally stuck between the two and was looking for some advice. For some background: I’m a college student, not living in dorms, and I do have...

Hi all! :57: I currently have a wonderful Rosy Bourke, and I've been thinking about getting another bird, but I have some questions. I absolutely would NOT house them together, but would they be ok coexisting with supervised time in my room? I'm a college student, living at home, and I have...
Hey everyone, I tried to cut my bird's nails last night and I accidentally cut the first one too short, it bled, I stopped the bleeding and it didn't reoccur.
However, today the bird was sleepy all day, didn't make a sound, and it's twitching its wings or its entire body sometimes in a weird...
So, a month or so ago, I got a lovebird. The internet told me to get a younger lovebird, so I figured 5 months was young enough. I was wrong. I don't want to regret buying her, however, and have tried to tame her. It doesn't work.
TL;DR: any advice on taming a non-hand fed, 5-month-old, female...
Hello, I am really hoping someone can help.
We have a near 8 year old lovebird, called Uno. He had developed an lump on his right "cheek". This was barely noticeable 4 weeks ago when we first spotted it, as we were not sure if it was just has feathers sticking up. He was happy any healthy, he...
