I have a lovie. I have a friend that breeds and sells alot of birds and she had picked up 2 lovies from one of her friends. She finished handfeeding them about a week ago. I told her yesterday I would like to find one and she gave me one of hers!! :dancing: He's beautiful and sweet. He's a blackmasked lovie.
What does everybody feed their lovies? I'm giving him veggies, pellets and a bit of seed.
Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated as this is my first lovie.
Will try and do some photos today.

Mine get the same stuff as ATVchick feeds hers - might be because I've learned about proper feeding from her and other members at a place we all used to go to:) They love the variety - going to try pomegranates next!

This website has all the information you could ever hope for regarding lovebirds.

They helped me out so much when I first got my lovebird a few months ago.
I feed all of my birds peas and corn, sprouted adzuki and mung beans, hardboiled eggs with the shell on, nutriberries, avicakes, and just a plain seed/pellet mix.
