Don t let their diminutive size fool you. You get all of the big bird personality in a tiny parrot. As with all parrots, lovebirds who receive proper care can live many years with their human companions. This must be taken into consideration when purchasing a bird with the average life span of over 10 years. Long term commitment is required.
Lovebirds are popular first time pet birds.
Lovebirds will attack spray millet with gusto while ignoring other more nutritious foods, so only offer it as a treat. Lovebirds need a large clean cage, at least 24 inches wide, that will allow for a lot of activity for these little energetic birds. Purchase the largest cage that your budget and space will allow. Safety is of the utmost importance when purchasing a cage. Think of how much time your bird will be spending in his cage.
