Love Bird Questions

It's common for a new bird to be awfully quiet. My newest pair took a long time to finally get to the point where they were comfortable. It's worse when they are non-tame, because human interaction is frightening. Where as a single Lovebird who was hand-raised will chirp and screech for attention. You can try playing videos of other Lovebirds singing and chirping for her, and whistling to her is great also. Lovebirds very easily pick up trick whistles too. You need to have her out of the cage to get her to a tame state. Open the cage and offer millet from your hand, start at a stem length and over time get down to a small piece from the palm of your hand. Once you have reached that trust mile-stone you should be able to slowly work in petting the bird while she eats from your hand. Once she finally has hand trust down, you can start asking for the step up. It just takes time, and a non-tame Lovebird is one of the hardest birds you can take on to tame.
