I don’t know what’s wrong with our newborn lovebirds. They are less than one week old and their crop will not go down. Today we also noticed swelling around their abdomen and are taking them to the vet in the morning. We think it might be seeds that their mom fed them but are unsure and just...

Hey guys, I own two male lovebirds. They are on a pellet and seed diet and I try to get them used to veggies. They have a very big cage and lots of toys they enjoy. They get 12 hours darkness. I've noticed that if I using a baby voice to talk to them is a hormonal trigger and I am now avoiding...
