I have never met such a cuddly bird. Is this common for lovebirds or just a baby thing (he is ten weeks old)? Of course we would love it if he stayed like this but understand that this might not be the case! IMG_7388.JPG IMG_7391.JPG IMG_7392.JPG

They are cuddly birds. We love our Tito to death. He hates being alone!

Yours is adorable and looks like the feelings between you are mutual! Congratulations!

It’s definitely a lovebird thing, and pretty common with the boys. I’ve never known any other species to cuddle like (peachfaced) lovebirds do. :) Mine are quite fond of tucking themselves wherever they can snuggle.

You guys are making me so hopeful he will stay this way ❤ He is such a doll. I do not know for sure if he is male, his breeder said she was pretty sure he was but obviously couldn't confirm it 100% without a DNA test (which ended up being lost in the mail). We will probably test ourselves but at this point it doesn't really matter to us.

I wonder what made the breeder say they thought male.

She said that 90% of the babies that are this colour that come from this specific pair have turned out to be male (she used to DNA test most babies, or their new owners did). She in no way guaranteed it and made it clear that she couldn't say for sure, it's just the way things have turned out in the past! She could tell me for sure that the creamino I was interested in was a 100% a female based on genetics. I don't know much about lovebird genetics, but do trust what the breeder told me. Either way he/she is loved!
