Soooo I got my lovie of June last year. Early this year he started losing feathers. I was almost positive he was plucking as I watched him do it.
Vets did mite treatment. Seemed to stop plucking and feathers were growing. Then one day I came home and he was bald again. Did the test and he tested positive for circovirus.
He is bald like a plucked chicken but he still eats and plays. He's very contagious so he can't be with another bird so he relies on me all day but that's sort of the problem I'm having.
He chirps non stop all day at me if I'm home. We could play for 2hrs straight and I'll put him back and he'll go off again chirping wanting to come out. If I nap he'll just watch me for the slightest movement and start chirping again. Like I have him out for hours and it's never enough. He ignores his toys almost 80% of the time and boy does he have a lot. He used to play with all of them but now he only cares about coming out.
I normally don't mind the chirping but it never stops for even a second lately. He just spends his whole day trying to get me to take him out. Seriously just staring at me. Right now I'm hidden under my blankets pretending to nap and I know he's staring at me to see when I'll wake up.
Yes I'm thankful he's active despite being sick but he's actually gotten quite bad with wanting to come out where it's becoming an issue.
Any advice on the circovirus and noise?
