Hello all. My family and I have just started our first day with our newly adopted lovebird Sky. Sky is an older bird in his early twenties. He recently lost his fellow bird and cage mate when he passed way just yesterday. It was an accident. The other bird was not his mate, but they were very used to each other's company. His former owner and her family are not often at home and were not able to give Sky the attention and care he needed. They were especially concerned for him after his friend died. It was an accidental death, leaving poor Sky in the cage alone with him for hours.
He is now under our care at our house. We are taking it slow, so as not cause undue stress. He is a hand tamed bird, but is only just now getting to know us. His former owner taught him to get on her shoulder and to both say and give kisses. Thus, I know him already to be a talkative bird in good humor with a great deal of capabilities.
He seems to be doing well. He has be talkative, is eating, grooming regularly, and I can tell from his body language that so far he is adapting to his new situation well. I have never had a lovebird. I recently lost my pet cockatiel Sam, who died in his early thirties. Coackatiels are the only type of bird that I am knowledgeable about. I am looking to be able to get advice on care, training, and first and foremost helping Sky to transition to his new home and family. Any advice and feedback would be welcome.
