Love Birds

They are aggressive little buggers, but are personally my favorite. A Lovebird can do a lot of damage to a Cockatiel, and if it's a female Lovebird chances are she'd be more then happy to. My males are very calm and relaxed, and my females will draw blood if they feel you are a risk. A Lovebird that is bonded to you will be very jealous of other birds, heck it can take months and months to get two Lovebirds in the same cage. Don't get discouraged, separate rooms are best! Many of my birds can not be in the same area together out. As for the cage behavior, it's called a bored bird. My Lovebirds are trained to stay on their cages, if they were locked inside all day they'd go nuts. I remember one day I couldn't let Lawney out and she spilled all of her food, water, worked at the rawhide knot holding her toys until it came down, and then banged the dishes. They are like any other parrot, they need lots and lots of attention. Spyros will bang his food dish until you let him out in the morning as well. They are highly intelligent creatures, they know how to get your attention.
