Hey, all. I have a 5 1/2 yr old lovebird named Grego. I had a female when I adopted Grego as a companion for her. Sadly, she passed away in 2020. Since then, Grego has only had me. His breeder did not hand-feed him as a baby so he won’t let me handle him per se, but he sits on me and naps on me. I spend over an hour with him every morning and about an hour every evening after work so he can sit on me and have my company. (Weekends, he gets me most of the day.)
As for his setup, he flies free all day. His room opens into a sunroom, so he has both rooms to himself. He also has a TV and a TV watching perch (as you can see in the pic).
I’m posting for opinions on whether or not you think he’s OK alone. I wouldn’t worry so much if I could let him out into the house so he’d see me more, but my husband is scared of him. (Plus Grego starts terrorizing my small dogs when he flies in the rest of the house.)
My husband is very understanding of my morning and evening routine with Grego. (I put him to bed a little after six so he gets about 11 hrs of sleep). I’d love for him to have company during the day, but I don’t want another female (mine laid eggs chronically) and I don’t want to get another bird and risk Grego not getting along with him.
Does it sound like he is OK? I have a video camera in his room and I see that he spends the day napping, chewing on toys, watching TV, and sometimes screaming at the birds outside. (He prefers TV to the birds anymore. ) And, like I said, he is free to fly all day. I’d rather have just Grego if y’all think I’m doing enough for him.
Sorry this was so long. I wanted to give as much info as possible.
