    Parrots Playing With Molted Feathers

    My lovebird, Peaches, has a tendency to play with her feathers once they've fallen off as she's preening. She'll chew on them, take them with her when she flies, hold them with her feet, and chase after them if I take them away from her. She typically does this with her primary feathers, but...

    Kermit and pineapple high probability of being mates.

    I have seen them argue and even fight in the mornings. But also kissing alot and feeding eachother and i read that it means trying to mate and or being partners. Can they even mate at the age of 10 weeks?

    Lovebird refuses to go back into cage

    Hey all! Just wanted to ask for some advice on this. My Lovebird Helios has always been a very calm bird. I know hormones happen but I'm not sure if that is the cause of what's happening.
