A. Nothing is wrong. If they get a long maybe you should put them together. I would put the 2 birds together if it were up to me. But its your decision. Good luck!!! :)

What does it mean when my lovebird acts like this?
Q. I have three birds; two parakeet and one lovebird. I've had the parakeets for about a year and the lovebird for about a half. None of them are very handtamed yet except one parakeet. My lovebird constantly is talking with the parakeets and I've kept them seperated across the room. Ever since I got him though he's been bouncing around the bottom of the cage trying to get the parakeets attention. When I moved them closer I noticed he was trying to get out by fitting through the bars and actually managed to get his head stuck in one. I can't tell if he is curious or wants to play with them. I'm afraid of putting different species birds in the same cage, especially since it's obvious the lovebird can really hurt a parakeet if it wanted to. … [cont.]

A. As you know from owning a lovebird they can be aggressive. So having them in the same cage is a no. If you have out of the cage time with your birds let them be out together with close supervision. I also have a parakeet and a lovebird. They LOVE each other. They chirp to one another all day long. They can't wait till I get them out of their cages so they can be together. They play with all the out of the cage toys together. They feed each other and preen one another.

How loud is a lovebird compared to a cockatiel?
Q. I currently have a lovebird and a parakeet and I am looking at adopting a cockatiel; however I live in an apartment. I am worried about the noise. I am told that this bird is a "very" happy bird and loves to talk and whistle. I just need to know the comparison to the lovebird, which is pretty loud in my opinion.

A. my opinion is the lovebirds... but it's probably more because the sound they make is annoying more than loader. They kinda sound like metal rubbing together to me. But your more likely to hear the cockatiel from outside your house than you would a lovebird.

How can I help my lovebird get his feathers to grow back?
Q. My lovebird is several years old and sweet as a peach (a peach-faced lovebird to be correct.) About 10 months ago he got a little injury under his wing. I didn't take him to the vet because I didn't think it was too serious, but I noticed that he's been plucking his feathers under his wing where he got hurt. It's not really hurt anymore, but how can I get him to stop plucking his feathers and let them grow back in?

A. You can't help your lovebird grow his feathers back, they will grow back on their own. Just like the hair on our heads, no one can help us! It just grows back in time. And it sounds like something could be irratating your lovebird, and it sounds like you need to take him to an avian vet for plucking.

A. It all depends on what genes are predominant. If they are like peachface lovebirds, the babies will all be green unless both parents throw the blue gene...you will not actually get a "mutant" color bird...there are online genetics calculators for lovebirds if you do a googlesearch... Good Luck

How long does it take for a lovebird to start laying eggs?

Asked by Sel - Sun Apr 6 01:15:27 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. They should be at least a year old, preferably 18 months before you allow breeding. Once they're old enough it's a matter of conditoning them before you allow bredding, having the right equipment and stimulation for the brids, and having a good vet, and knowledge of how to take care of any chicks that are produced in case there is a problem. If you want a baby, and you only have one bird now, why not just find a hand fed baby from a breeder? You'll end up spending less money than buying a female, setting everything up correctly for breeding, and much less time, money and effort of having to raise a chick yourself...

It is true that most lovebird species have no apparent differences between the sexes, not like budgies! The old pelvic bone test only works if you are experienced in it or you have another bird of the other sex to compare it to. The females have a wider spaced pelvic bone so the eggs can come out easier. The female can be slightly larger or the legs a little more widely spaced than the male because of the larger hips.

How do you wean a baby lovebird?
Q. Hi, I've been feeding my baby lovebird formula and he's growing very fast. I added a little seed in his formula, with shells unpeeled and he really likes it! How do I introduce him to "big bird" food? And then how do i switch to shelled seeds to proper lovebird food when he is ready?
Asked by Marie - Thu Feb 7 02:14:37 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Usually when they are roughly 5 weeks you can start leaving some pellets, seeds, and for short periods of time, fresh foods in their cage for them to pick at. At first they just kind of move the stuff all around, eventually in doing this they mouth it and figure out it tastes good. As they get older they start to pick more at the "adult" foods and you'll have to start feeding less of the formula. Each bird weans at their own pace though, some might be eating mostly on their own by 8 weeks, some might want to drag it out until 10 weeks.

There are 2 good reasons not to overdo it. First, the baby should not be separated from its food and water for extended periods. It is still growing rapidly, eating often, and sleeping more than an adult bird. I would suggest keeping early play sessions under 15 minutes then returning the baby to its cage for at least twice as long… [cont.]

A. For masked lovebirds, it's difficult to impossible to tell just by looking at them. You'll need DNA testing done to be sure of the exact sex of your lovebirds. There are some general rules that apply to lovebirds, like the males being smaller than the females, the males being more colorful than the females, the females biting harder, and the females being heavier than the males. However, those are just some general rules that don't apply in all cases. You won't know for sure of the sex until you get them DNA tested.

They both need fairly large cages for their size especially the lovies, the more perches and toys the better. For lovie info I would go here: and Parrotlets:

My parakeet and lovebird like each other too much. Should I keep them away from one another?
Q. They are kept in separate cages, but I let them out of the cage together and my parakeet will regeratate for the lovebird. I know the lovebird is a male through DNA testing. Also, the parakeet is a male (he has a blue cere). I was just wondering if this is normal for them to like each other so much. They call to each other all day until I get them out of the cage and put them together. My parakeet is worse than the lovebird.

A. No Not At All. You see parakeets are really socail birds and like to live in flocks or with alot of birds. Since you only have 1 parakeet and i think 1 lovebird they've grow attached to each other cause who else could they. So it's okay to keep them together. Regratate means they love each other, sometime you parakeet may even regergate too you. Just means he loves you keep them together.

How do I travel with a lovebird?
Q. I am getting a lovebird. But the only problem is,about once a month I travel to my cabin for a weekend and I need to know how to travel with a lovebird without making it scared, stressed or killing it.

A. Pet shops have soft travel cages that you can sit in your passengers seat while driving. I would take along or set up a permanent cage at the cabin to transfer him to once you have arrived though. At first he will probably be spooked...depends on his temperment. Just don't let him be banged around in the cage during the trip!

A. Have lots and lots and lots and lots of toys and be prepared for the bird to want to be with you every waking second of the day. :) A hand fed, socialized lovebird from a breeder can be a fantastic little parrot. They're very smart (sometimes too smart), great escape artists, and love to get into everything. They do like to chew as any parrot does, so toys they can satisfy that urge with can help save some stuff around your house. A good pellet diet, supplemented with lots of fresh veggies and some fruit will ensure a happy healthy lovebird. Lovebirds tend to be seed and millet addicts. They're not exactly the healthiest foods for them, but are good as treats or if you're working on training towards something. Basically just be… [cont.]
