Hey all,
So I am minding my business today and a litter Fischer's Lovebird flies in through the window and became my friend. Im serious, the little guy flew in and immediately perched on my shoulder and was comfortable moving to my finger.
I did a bit of research to learn what it is and some basic knowledge of how to take care of it but I am a bit lost and have some questions for anyone willing to answer them.
1. This is a pet right? It's definitely not native to my area and its super comfortable around people. I am going to put up fliers tomorrow.
2. (this came out as more than one question) What do I do? I got a little cage and food/water for the little guy but what am I getting in to? Does the cage have to be a certain size? I know they are super sociable, is it sad its not around its "flock"?
3. If I end up keeping it (probably not a neighbor already said he would take it) do I have to get him a mate? Or will he not be cool with other birds?
4. What kind of things do they like for toys?
5. His feathers are ruffled that means he is stressed right? What can I do to help with that?
6. He is eating/drinking/sleeping pretty regularly. What kind of schedule do they usually keep?
7. Do I put a towel over the cage at night? I'm sorry if this is dumb.
Any additional advice or things I've undoubtedly have missed are very welcome.
Thanks
