Lovebird Breeding Tips For Beginners

Female lovebirds are usually larger than males; they are also more aggressive and can be quite stubborn. The males are more cuddly and my Harley was a hand fed baby but does not like to be handled; but he loves to land on me and hang around on my shoulders and head. He will take treats from my fingers while on me and every now and then he wants a head scritch. I inherited three Peach Faced lovebirds from my wife when she left and those three were totally wild. However, once I started leaving them out of the cage for exercise (I was terrified of them and knew nothing about parrots), I had to use a net to get them back in their cage. To my surprise, the lovebirds taught themselves to return to their cage when I would tell them "bedtime". If they were lax at going into their cage, all I had to do was repeat the bedtime order and pick up the net, and whoosh! in the cage they went.
