Video One Energetic Lovebird

[Lady Jane]

I don't know if most Lovebirds are full of energy but Cooper sure is. He goes all day long until about 5 pm and then settles down. He is the chewer of the year! I cut some small pieces of cardboard yesterday and you would have thought he has the best toy ever made for birds.

OMG! He is so cute Dianne!

Lol yes, young lovies are full of energized crazy juice!

 

[fluffypoptarts]

Aww, Craybie saw the video and was trying to call to Cooper!

 

[Rolanda]

I LOVE the way he stops and looks at you, totally still for a second, and then goes right back to what he was doing! Completely like a little kid jacked up on sugar and recess!

At what age do lovies calm down?

At what age do lovies calm down?

Depends on the bird. Some of them start calming down after the first year or two and the two I have that like to nap on me started that after 2-3 years, I guess? Twinkie used to be completely insane, but now he loves to crawl into my shirt and take a nap.

Then you have birds like Craybie (Turnip). Still just as frantically energetic as the day I met him...3+ years ago. He lets me do brief snuggles now, and will occasionally preen on me, but he still has to take frequent flights around the room while squeaking madly. If any other living creature is in the room, he must pester it.

That will no doubt be your joy soon as well!

Mine are all fairly energetic, but Mango and Kiwi spend a lot more time napping while Peaches is still frantically zipping around the room. Sometimes he gets so over-excited that he flies in weird zig-zags with lots of dives and hairpin loops. He's always the first one awake and the last to go to bed. Sometimes I even hear him playing in his cage in the middle of the night.

That is hysterical

They hatch with it already running through their blood! I've called a couple of mine crack-birdies more than once, and occasionally when I open Twink's cage, I tell him, "I'm unleashing you, Crack Flea~" I don't even finish the sentence before he's on me like a face-hugging alien.

So cute! I only had Casey, my foster lovie for a few weeks, but I never saw him nap the entire time. Maybe he is young like Cooper....... They certainly are entertaining little birds.

 

[Odin]

Someone needs to narrate this !!!! LOL

 

[Tyrion]

WOW...so cute

Cracked corn maybe. He does stop at night time thank goodness. Yesterday Cooper grabbed one of my colored pencicils and flew away holding it for about one foot is distance and he dropped it. As well as being high energy he is steeling my things!
Its going to be very tricky to get him in the small cage for the vet trip end of the week. Gotta large spray if milled in the cage which he made a bee line for so I am hoping this works on the vet visit day.

 

[Princessbella]

Aww, he is adorable!

 

[Peachfaced]

LOL!!

Sherbie used to do this a lot when she was a baby. Now she's got a bit more control. Coopers' gotta learn to use his feet more. It helps! Sherbie also says it helps if you make goofy noises at said toy while you're pinning it down.
