@Bill Wright Yes, they should be covered at night regardless.
I've read that they're sexually mature at around 8 months, but that breeding should not be attempted until they're over a year. Are you breeding them/desiring tons of baby lovebirds?At what age do these birds begin to mate?
I do my best with him. This little stinker learned to follow the yorkie up the stairs. If he sees him standing there, he'll fly back and forth between the computer and the stairs, then flap from step to step while chasing him up and trying to keep from being caught by me.@Garet I laughed so hard I almost cried!
Their fearlessness towards other animals can go under the BAD - make sure you keep your brave little lovie away from the dogs!
I don't think it's a bad idea as long as you do your research and are prepared for some painful bites. Lovebirds are very stubborn and love to chew and get into everything.Hi! I'm really interested in Lovebirds because they seem really sweet and cute birds, but I've never had a bird before. Is it a bad idea? Also, I had Mandarine birds as a child and they used to poop and throw seeds out of the cage all the time, the floor was really dirty in a two meter radius around the cage. Will I have the same problem with lovebirds/ any bird?
All birds will be messy, you won't believe how the floor of my room looks after a day of particular bad destruction and I have just two lovies(they have the run of the whole room 24/7 though). Seeds are easy to clean but fruit and veggies can be trickier in my experience. If you do your research and are aware of their needs, like lots of fun toys, foraging opportunities, avian vet care, their noise, how to treat them(as in respect etc.) and devoted to your birds I don't think there is a problemHi!
