This is so bizarre reading all of this on Lovebirds. Mine was complete opposite!!! He was a absolute sweetest cuddle bug! I got him as a rescue when he was 5years old. He was a plucker. He and I instantly hit it off and he cuddled with me from day 1. His former life was pretty much stuck in a cage in front of a huge window which crashed his nerves plucking and ansy. Day 1 with me I gave him a half blanket cover over his cage so he had a sense of safety and privacy if he wanted it. And basically his favorite place was under my chin in my neck. And he’d go everywhere in the house with me. I let his chopped wings grow. He became a awesome flyer. And yes he screamed in the cage if I didn’t get him out immediately after I got home from work. Lol. But other than that all he wanted was tons of love and cuddles. He never once bit me hard and blood. Not once. If he ever got grumpy pants, it’d be a warning barely nibble and that was rare so rare I can’t even think of a occasion. The only time he got mad was at bananas if I offered him a banana LOL then u would see him attack it so I didn’t offer a banana lol . He was amazing peach faced little love bug and I had no clue all lovebirds were not like this until reading stuff on them just recently many years later after his sad passing of cancer. He died at 15years old. God bless him little sweety I’ll see u in heaven my hoshifoshasasha!

I have been trying to buy your freeze dried food but it is always sold out…..

looking for companion for my yellow ""SUNI""

A year ago someone was rehoming the 2 love birds they weren’t tamed or anything so I was working with one on one for months but after now a year they are very loud even with the tv. I’m not sure what else to do should I keep both of them or rehome ?

I recently got a love bird, he is about 1 year old. I love him so much and I want to provide the best possible life for him. We have done so much progressed during the last months, he will easily stand on my hand and let me cudle him. Though, he is pretey unpredictable, every time I want to change his water bowl he atacks me. I don’t know how to introduce him to the outide of his cage. I don’t want to mess up the progress we have made. PLS HELP ME!! I’m looking forward to having the same retationship between Blue and you. Thanks for everything you do, so cool !! 🙋‍♀️❤Bird Tricks

@KAYLA SUZAN im having the exact same problem with my Boo Boos 😭 I have a make Love bird… I forgot his morph but hes a greenish blue color, gray face, n is starting to get yellow on his forhead. His name is Foofie (after that tall amazon white lady Flava Flave dated.. Thats what she called him) lol also, cuz hes all kinda chubby n fluffy 😍😍 anywho i bought him from a breeder who hand raised n fed since he was a wee little hachling by the time i got him basically he’s like a preteen. Anywho! He bites the crap outta me! Gets the crazy eyes n bites so hard n draws blood especially on my hands n arm.. N those are bites that are on purposes. But the weird thing is he chills on my shoulder,head, lap, n chest. Also. He lets me kiss him all over, rub my face on him, kissss me, we even take naps together like he cuddles up to my face or neck n under the cover, we “preen” each other, eat togher. So im baffled over this! And im so frustrated with the biting at i love him soo much! He knows the mummy loves him. N he comes to me i do t force him o. Me either. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! 😞

@Kayla Suzan: I’m no expert like Jamie is, but I have lovies and I tell you: hens are winged terrors (there is a reason they have a fame). They’re also extremely sociable — but it must be in their own terms: they’re very territorial, so interaction should ideally be done where she can’t see the cage. I’m about to start target training with my own winged terror very soon, in hopes she won’t be as aggressive.

Hi I got a new lovebird about 4 months ago. She was suppose to be hand fed but she will not stop biting me all the time. She’s drawing blood. I’ve tried everything and toys do not help. She wants to bite me. She wants in my hair and she won’t stop lunging at me. I’m losing patience and I’m tired of being bit. I dread getting her out of the cage now. I really I love her but I don’t know how to get her to stop being so aggressive. I really love her. Her name is Bailey.

I’ve had my baby love bird for about five weeks. You nailed it about them being very active. He’s forever exploring his environment and loves to shred his toys. So far he is quite cuddly and especially loves sitting only shoulder while I’m doing (parrot safe) housework. He’s always willing to try new foods and is doing well with training. He learns quickly! He was hand raised from a responsible breeder and while shy at first, it didn’t take more than a week for him to really start feeling safe, secure and confident. Lovebirds are a fabulous species!

I got my Lovebirds about a month ago and they are doing pretty good in target training. My girl Lovebird Peach ( a green peach-faced lovebird) will eat out of my hand. But my male Lovebird will eat out of a wooden spoon and out of his bowl of course. But whatever I try to do they won’t interact with me outside the cage or inside even though I spoil them with treats. :-(

I rejoined two lovebirds 15 years ago. They are as you describe them but yet they love me. They love to climb all over me, they know tricks, and behavior commands(thanks to you). They are so comical. We traveled in a motor home for almost 6 years, with other pets also. They loved it. We talked back and forth while we drove. I can hardly think of my life without them, it sure won’t have the same number of laughs life does now. But they never got over being hand shy, but we respect them and in return they love companionship with us.

I think it really depends on the bird, cause my birds were like, in one side phoenix was angry and tsundere, while piper was jus a litte ball of feather that would cuddle for hours a day. And I should say I’m obsessed with lovebirds so I know everything about them haha, but as I was saying, it really depends on the bird, cuz thats what they say, lovebirds are not cuddly, lovebirds are not pets, but look at mine! ❤️🐥🐥

I had a problem with my lovebirs 1. My lovebirds don’t want to be tamed. I try to tame them for drummroll 3 years but NOTHING 2. They don’t want to eat fruits and vegetables (only apple) and I try enything that you post on this chanel but NOTHING. What can I do? 😢

I just got my lovebird it’s still a baby I hand fed it the first 3 days and all it wants to do is sleep on my shoulders in my hair I don’t want it to think my shoulder is another perch but I also want to bond with it

hey can you pls show how to train 2 birds at once they live in 1 cage together but like each other they are not trained or used to hands and bite

Like Lori, I emphatically disagree that lovebirds are not cuddly birds and that they love everyone equally well. I’ve had 25 years of experience with lovebirds and have found them to be extremely cuddly. They do love to shred and play and run all around, but the majority of their time is spent on their favorite person’s shoulder or cuddled into their hand or under a chin. They love to be scritched, and are very insistent about it.

How long do lovebirds live? Especially the ones from the store.

Cutest thing, don’t expect you to post this. I have two new 4 month old lovebirds. I tried clicker training the second day. The blue lovebird would butt the stick with the top of his head instead of touching with his beak. Our yellow lovebird caught on right away and since the blue bird was close by he would just pick up the seeds that fell on the ground that the yellow (no names yet) would drop. We want to give them one on one training but they are really sensitive about getting in and out of the cage so we just leave the door open and they both come out. So, just before we were going to separate them we tried once more and the blue did it, touched the stick with it’s beak, three times. the yellow bird touched it with her foot and since the goal is to touch the stick we laughed and gave her a treat. Then she did it again. Such personality….lets see if this works with my humans. ha ha. hoping to get to the point where they will step up. They are still kind of ticked that their wings were clipped. We plan on not clipping their wings though but kept them that way til they got the lay of the land. Thanks for all the tips and training you do.

i have recently gotten two lovebirds on kijiji, one is very scared and shy she won’t even let you get in a meter span of her the other lovebird hates everyone she meets and loves to bite

Can anyone help me identify the breeder as I need information on my two love birds I’ve had for 18 months. Both have leg tags one is a blue tag with:CZ1627768 The other is a dark orange tag with BCA08965.016053.

I have accidentally created a 1 person bird who is agresive to every one else in my family. I am now aware of how to prevent that but I cannot figure out how to fix it.

Hello! After watching your videos and learning more, I thought reaching out to you would be a good idea. I have friends with birds of their own, but they could only help me to a certain extent with my moms birds. Specifically her lovebirds, Fruitloops and Blue, who have a variety of things I’m trying to work on. She got them last August, from Florida at a parrot shop (Tampa Lovebirds I think???). She pick Fruitloops a young (1-2yrs) female that was not hand fed, and Blue a 1yr male (I think?) that was hand fed. Fruitloops is scared of us and we don’t push it so not to stress her out. She won’t take food or treats from my hand or from surfaces i leave them on. At one point i got a long popsicle stick and tied a millet to it that way she wouldn’t have to deal with my hands, it failed miserably. Do you have any advice on how to begin to get her trust? I know how to clicker train, but she doesn’t want food. She does love the toys I make her though. Then there’s Blue. He’s hand fed and more curious, he’ll even take millet strands from my hand. The few time I go him to sit on my hand he was pretty good about it. But he is also wary of my hands to an extent, he doesn’t want to step up unless given no other way out. He visibly tenses if you move towards him and runs away from hands or perches presented in your hand. To make matters worse his wing is injured. it looked like a broken blood feather at first, I am not experienced enough to remove one so we cleaned the area and out some coagulate on the area and just watched him. This happened the day before the fourth of July so none of the avian vets we called would see us. A lot of the vets around us don’t see parrots so i’ve been calling vets located further away, finally found one today. He’s been chewing on the spot on his wing. He had pin feathers, but over the last week I’ve seen him bleed more and pull more feathers and aggravate the area. I’m hoping the vet will shed some light on this tomorrow, we thought he was going to be fine for a time, but it got worse. Any idea why Blue is aggravating his wing? He holds in a way that suggests its painful or bothering him. Could it be stress? His diet? Is it behavioral?? I can’t wait for the avian vets opinion here, hopefully it won’t be too serious. I really want to work with Blue and gain more of his trust Sorry for the spam here, if you’ve read this far, I thank you! Not sure if this all incoherent babble or not. I need advice and I want a better quality life for our birds.

I have 2 lovebirds and they are very scared little birds. I have had them for 6 months and I have tried everything with them. They just hide in a corner. I am also having a hard time to get them to eat any fresh food. I offer it everyday in different ways . It makes me sad they are scared of me, but they do come down when I sit in a chair next to the cage with my green cheek and they sing and sing. What would you do? I have a bird room where all my birds are, to keep them safe from my cat. I just bought your cook books so I am hoping they will eat something out of there, and my other birds will get different meals. Any ideas on the lovebird I would appreciate it I want them to be happy and healthy. PS They are caged together.

I have two love female love birds they are really scared i dont know what to do

got my couple lovebirds 6 weeks ago, they’re raised in a cage and very afraid of me and my husband. and Then I started watching your YouTube channel four weeks ago. the enlightenment just came right through me. It’s us human who needs the training, I learn to read their body language and work gradually with them and always ask nicely. They stopped biting and hiding. (They fly to higher places from time to time though) yesterday one of them stepped up on my hand. I’m so grateful for your contents.
