My lovies have become obsessive! They’ve always been close to my husband and I. But now its getting really crazy they don’t get let out early anymore so I know they are anxious to fly. They get decreased out time from 12+ hours to around 6 hours. Originally, when being let out, they would immediately fly hard for a while before visiting with us. Then the time would be split between flying around, hopping on the curtains and ceiling fan (it’s off) and hanging out with us. It’s was like 50/50. But lately, they have changed their routine. They want to be with us all the time. They still get their exercise but they are obsessed, especially with me. I’ll give you guys a few examples. I can be using a hair dryer, you would think this might deter them, nope. If I’m straightening my hair, they are literally hanging off the strand that I’m trying to straighten. It’s hard to even get dressed. They hang on me, my legs, my hair, anywhere and I just go about my routine. They are on my eyeliner as I’m drawing on my eye It’s funny, but it’s really intense and if I’m in a rush, it can be a little distressing. I’ve said this before, unfortunately because of this behavior, it’s hard to let them out all the time. Even though 6 hours is enough, I would like to keep them out longer if I can get some things done. I’ve had to run into the bathroom to eat really quick haha.
The other thing is that my husband is very chill. I’m a busybody. So when they are on me, it’s constant action. Trying to fling them off me haha, placing them down elsewhere, and them just obsessing over landing on my head and hands. So our time together is fun but very chaotic. But they don’t have down time with me. They go to my husband for that *sigh* he sends me video of them on his chest, preening and sleeping and I’m a bit jealous haha
Anyone going through the same thing?How do we ease them out of this? When out, they have tons of toys to play with and forage with, a playground, bath, food, lots of distractions. Maybe I need to change my energy and learn to just do nothing. Sit on my hands or something and they will follow my vibe and calm down. I’ve given them prolonged hours out on my day off, hoping that would get them tired of us for the next day but nope. They will eventually settle in towards the end of that 6 hours and sleep in the curtains but man, for 6-8 hours, they are like boomerangs. @Zara and others with lovebirds, are all your birds super duper high energy and clingy?
