Hey all!
I am currently interested in adopting a lovebird. I would be only getting one, but am willing to spend many hours with my pet, and hundreds of dollars.
I’ve been looking at some cages and food brands, along with searching for an avian vet, and researching lovie behaviour. I’m excited to hand tame and bond with a lovebird.
That being said, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to answer some of my questions;
Are there any things that beginners do that should be avoided?
Any tips on socialization and or bonding? I want to gain my future birds trust, and don’t want to make any mistakes that could hinder that process.
I understand teflon cookware can be fatal to birds. If I adopt a lovebird, would I have to keep the bird away from the kitchen when the teflon cookware is being used only, or should my bird avoid that area altogether?
I plan to bring my lovebird all over the house, would that mean getting rid of my teflon?
Finally, I know you have to cover your birds cage at night to guarantee a full nights rest, but in hot weather, will being covered with a blanket, etc., affect my bird?
Thank you so much in advance!
