- Peach faced Lovebird
Hey there,I've recently found a peach faced lovebird,knowing that it won't survive in the city I had to take it in...I've provided him(I don't know the birds sex therfore I refer to it as he/him) with fruits (apples,oranges), corn and pellets( which he did not show any interest in so I had to put seeds for him) and did my best to make him feel welcomed at our household.
he takes food from hand and isn't scared of humans in general.
It's been a week or so since he has joined us, knowing that lovebirds are companion birds I let him out of the cage a couple of times (I had his nails and wings clipped) but he has been very aggressive and showing hormonal behavior since day one and tends to bite my hands and when he gets bored(which is all the time) he gets on my shoulder and starts bitting my neck and he even went for my ear twice...I have no experience what so ever with birds and I'm confused whether I should leave him in the cage until this phase passes or let him out?and for how long?
Ps1. he also has got a wooden toy which he has destroyed in this short period of time
Ps2.he is very smart and had no problem with stick training I would be devastated if I couldn't take good care of him and I did as much research as I could but am still very confused so pleaseeee help me out :`(
