Lovebirds are a small species of parrot that originates from Africa. These beautiful, vocal birds are highly prized for their colorful plumage. They have specific housing needs that cater to their temperaments and size. With the proper cage and care, lovebirds can be happy and healthy household pets.
Instructions
1. Get a cage before getting lovebirds. Find a cage that is roomy enough for them to move around and explore their environment. Avoid the tiny ornamental cages that are sometimes sold for lovebirds. These are too small to keep the birds happy.
2. Secure the cage with an extra clip or tie to keep the cage latch closed. Lovebirds are adept at escaping from cages.
3. Purchase a food cup that attaches to the cage, and a matching water cup. Attach each cup securely to the bars of the cage. Provide clean water in the water cup and check it often to make sure it is not full of seed hulls.
4. Provide bird seed in the food cup, and occasionally add different foods into the cup such as small pieces of fruit. Offer the lovebirds spinach and other green vegetables regularly as part of the birds' care as well.
5. Buy lovebirds in pairs, if you are not home often to keep the birds company. Keep just one lovebird, if desired and only if you have a lot of time to interact with and care for the bird.
6. Give the birds a few toys and items such as a cuttle bones for them to chew on. Line the bottom of the cage with a cage liner that you must clean and change often.
