Parent raised lovebirds can be tamed if gotten early and worked with. As with any Parrot you should work with your bird on a daily basis. The biggest misconception with lovebirds are that most people think that you must have two. When kept in pairs they will bond with there mate. If kept alone and handled on a regular basis they will bond with you for life.
Lovebirds are extremely playful and a blast to watch.
They have never ending energy. They will go from toy to toy never seeming to tier. When tame they love sitting on your shoulder or like mine playing in my hair, and sitting on my head. Lovebirds are affectionate and very smart. They can be taught to step up give kisses.
