Hello Aviana Peeps!
It is my first time joining in this community and its been fun reading up on all the bird posts. My uncle gave me my very first baby lovebird called Mango and it is about 1 and a half months old. It is my first time having a bird as a pet. I have been hand feeding Mango since it was a baby. It has grown quite attached to me and we even start to do recall training and we are slowly getting there. It prefers to land on my head or shoulder rather than my finger.
I need help and a bit of guidance since it is my first time taking care of a bird. Mango's cage is on the balcony outside my room. Every now and then i will let it out of the cage and roam around the balcony. The balcony is netted so it cant fly away. In the long run, I plan to remove the net and leave the bird cage open forever once it is comfortable and it is good at recall training. The main goal that I want to achieve is so that it can fly in and out without my supervision. Do you think this is wise? I don't want to constantly keep it in a cage or only confined it to my balcony area. I want it to roam free but be back by dinner. Is this wishful thinking?
On another dilema, everytime I go to work in the morning, I would spend sometime with Mango. But when I am not around, i would try to peek at my cage to see what its doing, and sometimes i just see Mango at the corner of the cage feeling lonely. Should i get another lovebird to keep it company? Wouldn't want my buddy to feel lonely and depressed when I am away. Poor fella.
P.S how do i tell if my bird is a male or female?
