Hi Avians!
I have a female lovebird that i took in since 1 month old. It is now almost 2 years old. Ever since young it has a coconut in the cage where it sleeps and laze around.
I recently got another male lovebird and i am trying to pair it. But here is the problem, my female lovebird refuses to be friends with the male lovebird and will attempt to attack him. I think its due to the fact that it already has a coconut house, i think its being super teritorial.
On the other hand, the female lovebird has never come in contact with another lovebird for the past two years. I was thinking that it doesnt know how to be around the other lovebird.
I tried taking away the female lovebird coconut so that it does not get too teritorial and in hopes that it would bond with the male lovebird but to no avail. When i remove the coconut, the female lovebird cries the whole night because i think it is sad that i took away its home. Being a softy, i put back her coconut the next day.
I am lost on what i should do. I cannot bring the bird back to the shop as they don't take it back. But i am not discourage from trying to bond it.
Should i try remove the coconut for a few more days? To see if it will bond? Any advice is really appreciated <3
Thank you
