Yeah I was planning on getting new perches for them. My local pet store doesn't have any perches that aren't just dowels and they only have the sandpaper covers that I heard are no good so I'm gonna have to order online or something :/I would give them 2 food bowls to try and alleviate that issue. It is not unusual behavior for one bird to guard resources, esp if they have had a rough life where food was scarce.
Also, the birds need more than just dowel perches. Dowels offer no variation in size or texture, making it so that the bird can get arthritis, inflamed feet, and pressure sores. Scrap the dowels and get some natural wood branches![]()
You can open the door and see what happens! Give yourself a large window of time, and make sure they have a way to get back into the cage easily. If you have millet or another treat they like, you can put that in the cage to try and encourage them to go back on their own.
My lovebird customers love my cupcake liner toys and balsa![]()
I'm currently a student so any suggestions on good perches that aren't too expensive that I can order online?
