Lovebirds are lovable and sociable animals. You will never be bored with them with their lively disposition and cheerful tweets.These birds are preferred to many others due to their small size and ease of care. Also, these birds have better health than others. We will tell you how to take care of them.

Steps

1. 1 Before purchasing a lovebird, ask yourself a few questions.
   • Do you have a safe and large enough space to house your lovebird?
   • Do you understand that this bird can live long enough, can you take care of it all this time?
   • Do you have enough funds to keep your poultry?
   • Do you have enough time to play, communicate and talk with the bird?
   • Will the noise from the bird be too loud for the hearing of family members or neighbors?
   • Who will look after the bird?
2. 2 If all the answers are in the affirmative and you have the answers to all the questions, then you can start choosing a bird. Find a reliable breeder or pet store. Ask if they provide assurance that the bird is healthy.
3. 3 Purchase a cage. It should be at least 60-75 cm wide and have 2 or more perches. The perches should be thin enough to be wrapped around the bird's legs. Always keep the cage clean and clean it at least once a week.
4. 4 Feed the lovebird. It is recommended to use a grain mixture specially designed for lovebirds. They need to be given something nutritious at every meal to stay healthy. Give them fresh fruits and vegetables 3-4 times a week as treats. They like apples, carrots, broccoli, kale and spinach. Wholegrain bread can be given, but not fatty, salty, and sweet breads. Always remove uneaten food debris from the cage.
5. 5 Show your bird to your vet. Lovebirds should be taken to the veterinarian for a checkup once a year. Follow the advice of your veterinarian!

Tips

• If the bird is sick, take it to your veterinarian.
• When the bird is scared or stressed, try to understand what is causing the stress and eliminate the influence of that factor (including people). It can be a hat, a certain color, a pattern on a shirt, a strange object, etc. Ad infinitum.
• Always keep new birds in a separate cage until you are sure they will get along with the old ones. Otherwise (literally speaking) the blood will be on your hands.
• Add toys or entertainment items to the cage and change them every 3-4 days. Ladders and swings, as well as bamboo rings, are favorite forms of entertainment. All toys must be specifically designed for birds, otherwise they may be toxic to lovebirds who like to chew on toys!

Warnings

• Lovebirds are very small, so pay attention to where the bird is if you are walking on the floor or about to sit on the couch. Lovebirds who run on the floor also love to chew on the hoop.
• Do not use Teflon pans as their fumes can kill small birds.
• Lovebirds love to bite. Be careful!
