This is actually what they do to build a nest......not give themselves a long tail. They stick grass, or paper here, in the tail, to carry it back to where they are building the nest. Great video!!! Adorable Peach-Faced Lovebird!!!!!
You have a way too smart of a bird! And you sound like a great daddy, you know she is some kind of a "diva" and provide her the necessary beauty product! Beautiful short story!
No, the bird is not trying to have a longer tail. I own some of these birds and they usually do that with pieces of palmtrees' leaves so they can travel to other place and use those pieces to build their nest. So, this is not a matter of the lovebird trying to make itself "prettier" by adding those pieces of paper, it's just its nature --> builing a nest so they can reproduce.
This is called 'anting' a behavior evolved by wild parrots where they put things often ants, under their feathers to rid them of parasites. In captivity birds seem to do it just for fun. It's not a nesting or hormonal behavior.
OMG BEBE is one SMART Cookie, Oh my I couldn't stop laughing. She is adorable and soooo intelligent. Blessings to her, she must till be alive? All the best to her and her owner. Sweet girl! :)
This is actually pretty normal nesting behavior. She's tucking the strips into her tail to take them back to her nest. I bred lovebirds and they did this routinely. it's very clever and cute, but they all do it.
This is not about the lovebird not liking it's tail, this is just how lovebirds gather up nesting materials. Ask any lovebird breeder he will tell you the same thing.
This is just amazing…this birdy wants a more elegant tail! So he/she gave himself/herself extensions…I wonder if all birds feel this way, or only certain breeds. We have a green-cheeped conure, two cocktails, an African Grey and a Cockatoo. Our Cockatoo is obsessed with staples and alway's tries to tuck them into his legs. We can only assume he wants a metal bracelet ( like the identification bracelets our other birds have) or that he wants to be a proper gentleman and make himself a pair of cufflinks! I will have to video tape it! Thanks for sharing this incredibly video.
+Marion Cardwell Did you read Debbie Stahre 's post about this ? if you have birds my opinion is you should ...I saw on facebook and believed I was watching a bird trying to make it's feather's longer ; and from D.S.'s posts, learned what is really going on. ( I wanted to show the video to my non facebook family members)
My female lovebird does the same thing and she has free flight around the house... so any random paper, book, magazine etc is usually found with strips chewed out of it :P.
للمعلومية، غير صحيح مايضنه صاحب المقطع، الصحيح ان هذه عادة في انثى الروز (اسم هذا النوع من الببغاوات الصغيرة) ، حيث تقوم بجمع القش او الورق بين ريش ذيلها وتطير به الى العش لتضع عليه البيض ، وتقوم بذلك توفيراً للوقت والجهد سبحان من علمها
Awww it's so sweet she wants to start a family but this is why I don't own a bird as I don't believe a bird being caged , it confuses the poor little things, although I know you are very fond of her treat her very well
This is a natural behaviour of African Love Birds. She is going to build nest. Instead of papers, give her fresh long plant leaves. If she has a box, she will build nest inside. Sometimes they munch or chew these leaves like bubble gum into small pieces. So, these papers might be harmful to their health if digested.
It would be interesting if one was to put out different colour sheets of paper and see if the bird had a preference for a colour. Will other birds copy this one if you put a few of them with this one?

Apparently this is a nesting behavior. Amazing!
Obviously tail making behavior.
Oh. I learned something new
i can honestly say the dog did NOT eat my home work.. the bird did.
XD
it really happen to me :D
all my books and notebooks were half eaten by my parrot, and not to mention picture and mirror frames :D
That happened to me too! Brought in my pile of shred to prove it. Haha
Hahaha, my moluccan cockatoo really did eat my homework....and pooped on it.
this does happen

intersesting fact!
you know that one guy that points out facts while someone's telling a joke at a party? yup...
I didn't know it either until I researched it after seeing your video!! lol
Thanks, I'm glad to know it's not a stress reaction.
🤨
This lovebird wants to be a peacock! :))
I love the commentary by the loving owner. Gentle but amused voice. Lovely.
You have a way too smart of a bird! And you sound like a great daddy, you know she is some kind of a "diva" and provide her the necessary beauty product! Beautiful short story!
That's how they carry their nesting material. They would prefer to strip willow bark than paper. Much more healthy too.
Palm tree leaves are great for this ;-)
There is no way it will no fall in flight.
Wait. So would having another female bird help them? Like health-wise?
They do this when they build their nesting. They use leaf veins in the wild.
"Oh you have got a beautiful tail"
Birb: Its a transplant
😂😂😂 Good one 🤣👍
In fact this is how they bring leaf to make nest :)

Inês Grou thanks for ruining a perfectly good youtube video
Inês Grou so basically they’re using the back of their tail as like a storage?
YellowBearAnimations still cute
@@yellowbearanimations technicly yeah
Inês Grou I think it’s good information and may be she can get a mate
This video makes me so happy.....I love how you narrate what she is doing. Thank you for sharing this!
Amazing! Proof of the intelligence of birds and animals, and the consciousness of the body, appearance and feeling of ornamentation!
Amazing proof of human ignorance keeping wild animals in captivity!!!
mavanzi
OH SNAP!!!!
How did you come to that conclusion, Sherlock? Jesus, it is taking materials to make a nest.
This is called 'anting' a behavior evolved by wild parrots where they put things often ants, under their feathers to rid them of parasites. In captivity birds seem to do it just for fun. It's not a nesting or hormonal behavior.
*****
The bird is petitioning or if you prefer.. trying to communicate with her master ,one that takes the captivity of a bird for granted.. mm..
This is such a perfect movement ! How they are smart, care beauty, and creative like us 😊
What a beautiful, unbelievable story (if somebody tells me the story, I would not believe it) Love that birdie.
Its how they carry stuff to build their nests💜so cute
I don't know which is more interesting....the lovebird's paper shredding or the commentator's comments and style.. He narrates beautifully. Well done.
Awww so sweet! Makes me miss my lovies :)
Haute couture. Absolutely Fabulous! 🖤😎👍
this guy has the most deadpan commentary and I love it
OMG BEBE is one SMART Cookie, Oh my I couldn't stop laughing. She is adorable and soooo intelligent. Blessings to her, she must till be alive? All the best to her and her owner. Sweet girl! :)
This is the way they bring stuff to her nest :) but she is indeed cute:)
Now this is what you call DIY tail feathers!
This is actually pretty normal nesting behavior. She's tucking the strips into her tail to take them back to her nest. I bred lovebirds and they did this routinely. it's very clever and cute, but they all do it.
She is beautiful
So cute!!! Need to get Bebe some colorful paper. Like peacock colors lol.
ha ha my rosie girl used to do this all the time... that and snuggle ..love love birds
Intelligent parrot🥰🥰🥰
This is precious! XP lovebirds are such goof balls!
So funny and cute. Amazing how uniform those strips are. lol
Ha ha ha, this bird is an artist.😄.
the guy who is talking has a really relaxing voice -3-
that bird is better at cutting paper than any pair of scissors
This is not about the lovebird not liking it's tail, this is just how lovebirds gather up nesting materials.
Ask any lovebird breeder he will tell you the same thing.
cut in straight line without using a ruler ...
wow!
no that's just the size of her beak.
+Tan my parrotlet can't cut a straight line worth a damn. It looks more like wavy scissors than a clean tear.
Clever bird!
Your parrot cuts strips of paper because she wants to put them in her nest to be soft for the eggs.
They are so smart.
Now she's like a princess. Lol

Awwe. I remember when my lovebirds would do this to build their nests :(
Did you live in it?
வெரி நைஸ் குட்டி செல்ல குட்டி உண்மையிலேயே தன்னுடைய திறமை சூப்பர் சார் அதனுடைய டேலண்ட் அதனுடைய மிக அருமை சான்ஸ் இல்ல
Keep going little one! It is surely working!
Wow!!! What a smart little birdy
oh!! she's so adorable.
Oh my god!!!! thats EXTREMELY cute!!
Flies away. They all fall out. LOL
the precise cutting blows my mind
My female lovebird does the same thing and she has free flight around the house... so any random paper, book, magazine etc is usually found with strips chewed out of it :P.
Very very...CUTE!
this bird is ready for nesting ! !
That is freaking unbelievable!
aww cute name, bibi
you've got so much swag bibi :3
Incredible and beautiful
Dang that bird can cut a piece of paper into straight pieces with it's beak than I can with a pair of scissors...
Dear uploader: she is nesting.
Save electricity with this paper shredder that runs on bird feed!
I love this!
ur bird's an artist
Is that it, or is that how they transport nest materials?
this is how they transport nesting material
I would have to go out and find some pretty feathers for her .. bits of paper indeed! ! !
محد يستغني عن انه يجمل حاله ويصير اجمل ..وزينها بس ابي وحده
Those tail extensions look very natural
....'parottes'...very intelligent!
She's going to the party!
My male does the same thing. Didn't know males built nests as well. Very cute video.
EVOLUTIONARY BEHAVIOUR WIN
This is so funny and entertaining 😂
It seems like love birds do this alot so cute
SO STINKIN CUTE

ماشاء الله عليك يا سكر
مبدع والله اقنعتني
?
Incredible!
Yes you are ;)
I would be interested to see what she would do if you gave her a selection of coloured paper to use.
my misua also do the same so cute to watch them do that.
Aww baby 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️
pretty ingenious bird!
That is one smart bird🐦
The bird probably saw how other birds are prettier than her
Cute...cool....but I knew they were this smart. They know what is going on...and they remember.
wowww this is sooo incredible n soooo cute. she doesnt like her tail she want it to be long awwww sooo cute :P shes designing her own tail :)))
Very smart!
Ohhh impresionante😊☺🎉🎉🎉
Actually she just wants to make nest :D I had same breed and thats what they do really xD They liked chewing trees too xD
You know that's not the real reason for this behavior, right? It's how Lovebirds gather nesting materials in the wild.
she's to cute and funny
this is so cuuute
Awww it's so sweet she wants to start a family but this is why I don't own a bird as I don't believe a bird being caged , it confuses the poor little things, although I know you are very fond of her treat her very well
As you can see, extensions exist even in the animal world
Geeze! Even the damn birds are wearing weave now
Please be respectful.

Small but intelligent
So cute .
Kkkkk how lovely 🥰

she's getting a new weave lol some clip in extensions haha
That's so cute!!!!!
She may be inspired from barbie island princess
my professor dr callaway brought me here
