Caring for Love Birds

Feeding

Lovebirds can eat various fruits, vegetables, grasses, and seeds. They can only drink fresh and clean, chlorine-free water, so if their water has been sitting there for a while they will not drink it. They follow a healthy diet, sugars and fats are not for them.

Housing

Get them the largest cage possible, they need to feel free, otherwise, they might get a little crazy. Stock it with as many toys as you can get, but remember that they are strong chewers so don't get them something they can tear and swallow. Don't forget to clean the cage regularly using minimal cleaning products.

Grooming

Lovebirds enjoy the water, give them two baths per week to keep them clean and trim their nails with the help of a professional to avoid any injuries.

Health & Common Conditions

Lovebirds are prone to diseases like chlamydiosis, Diarrhea, and nutritional deficiencies due to a poor diet.
