Moving in
Murphy is my lovebird. She is one year old. I rescued her about a year ago. She is SO FREAKING MEAN. When I got her she still had the mask on her face. She was dropped off along with her mom and dad and siblings at a shelter.
I've followed every tip I've been given but all she wants to do is bite me. I get she is cage territorial. I'm totally fine with that. When she is outside her cage, she is just as evil. I'm at a loss. She doesn't just bite, she latches on. I try not to react but when she is hanging from my finger, it's hard not to.
Would she be happier with another lovebird? Does she need to mate to make her happy? I'm telling you, there is evil and then there is Murphy. She has a ton of toys. She has toys when she is out of her cage. She is nice while sitting on my shoulder, but I'm scared to death she is going to bite my face. She did that once. Got my lip and wouldn't let go. Nothing like having a lovebird latched on to your lip. I couldn't pull her off for fear she would take my lip with her. I was bloody, she was bloody.
Help me, please!!
