I lost my lovebird 4 weeks ago tomorrow, he was very special to me, I know what you're going through, it's something we probably will never really get over. :( *hugs*
My niece had me go to the audubon site to check out bird noises that she has at her new feeder this year. I have one Peach face lemon lutino that lost her spouse about 5 years ago. I try to sing to her. Then I got the genius idea to hit up you tube! My birdie keeps singing to your bird!!! This is so adorable!
love this video thank you! I had two lovebirds and my male just passed last night. my little Juliet just loves this video, gives her someone to talk to
Purrfect Pusheen Cat mine too but almost, I was cleaning the cage and when i carried the cage, the roof was open, both of them flew away, luckily the male was caught by the fences (I dont really know what its called) but yea it stayed there looking at his partner who was far away, I caught him immediately we can hear them communicating, I placed the male back to the cage, but the female wont go without him, luckily a good neighbor of mine got her, the female was just standing thinking about her partner, she wasnt really scared of humans. They got reunited. Unfortunately two years later after it happened, they died by some disease, The female died first on August 21 and the male on august 25. RIP. It happened last year
Awww rest in peace...Well I have a another pair of lovebirds because the old one died maybe because of respiratory infection because his/her l(idk what its gender) last moment was she/he is like chocking...But now,the male lovebird got bitten by ants until he die😢😢😢he already left his partner...but he was buried beside her partner(Beside the garden where the female lives)😯😯😯Rip
CWJ - CreeperWarriorJason awwww, sorry for that, rest in peace sweet little fluffy friends :( I think that's why they called Lovebirds bcz of their action. they can't live without each other. they don't get close to humans that much as with each another.
hehee they look so funny when they tighten up and look much leaner and tilt their head so they can "hear" better ^^ i used to have one as a kid. it's kind of comforting to hear the same chirps again :)
My 5 month old lovie started talking a couple of weeks ago. She is sweet, can be picked up, flipped upside down in my hand and she loves to snuggle and give kisses.
I have a bird just like it - he's a Peach-faced Pied Lovebird. The "pied" part is the verigated yellow/green upper back feathers, whereas a regular Peach-faced Lovebird has a solid color - like my last one, Kiwi, who had a solid green back. They are so adorable, affectionate and wonderful companions. ♥
My four lovebirds are in the other room and they are all 'answering' Belle! One of them, Giuseppe, looks just like your bird. Giuseppe turned out to be female!
My lovebird is trained to fly around my whole neighberhood without getting lost and he comes back safley we had him since he got born and we took him out early and he's my fav. out of all my 7 lovebirds
that could possibly be what she is communicating or something or other. my birds all of a sudden started talking and jumping around their cage and then went to eat about halfway in
I have one just like her except its a male and his name is Rainbow.You can get them at bird stores(I mean stores that only sell birds and bird things.I got mine at a store called pampered birds.He was only 3 months old:)
Yes, as long as you watch her at all times and make sure that she doesn't get into anything dangerous. And just name your bird whatever fits their personality best!
were they babies when you got them? if so try to keep them with you as much as you can when you are at home, have them sit on ur hand or shoulder, play with them, and be all cuddly and scratch side of their face or they neck, they love it and get all puffy :)) i miss having love birds. they are great
yeah, its safe. just be careful there aren't a lot of scavenger birds around your place. and please see that your room or wherever you're taking her is perfectly secure and not exposed to the outside world. i had many of my precious ones (2 in particular, which i solely raised from birth, as they were rejected by their parents) taken away from me.
@kelsixrawr I promise you she's not lonley, in fact she probably would be hostile to another bird. She gets a lot of attention from the family, she just likes to hear her own voice!
*IMPORTANT WARNING FOR PET BIRD OWNERS:* The food that we normally give to the canaries (and other companion birds) consisting of a "complete, balanced and top-quality seeds mixture" bought in pet stores or malls, makes the owners trust that their pet is well fed, but it's not so: indeed the birds health is at serious risk. The owners of canaries, parrots, cockatoos, budgies, cockatiels, etc., WE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO DOMESTIC BIRD BREEDERS AND VETS and keep in mind that although we feed them with such a typical seeds mixture, our birds are very likely in danger of suffering an unexpected, painful and practically inevitable PREMATURE DEATH BY FATTY LIVER DISEASE. Canaries, for example, will surely die at 4 - 7 years of age of the more than 14 that they can live. It's sad that pet birds are fated to die early and painfully in so many cases. You have to warn people to avoid it! This deadly disease is very common in pet birds but owners usually don’t know or detect it in time. And we can’t imagine that *THE CAUSE IS IN THE FOOD ITSELF* that we provide to our birds, in which such *a typical mixture contains low-fat seeds such as canary seed together with other VERY fatty seeds such as niger, hemp or nabine and, in addition, the birds usually prefer to eat the fatty seeds* so that their REAL DIET is unbalanced by excessive fat, gradually causes the fatty infiltration of the liver and in a few years causes fatty liver hepatitis and PREMATURE DEATH to pet birds. *Also the breeding paste and its pigments, the fruits and the sunflower seeds can attack the liver* if they are taken too much or for too long. It's a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms begin, they are easily confused with other ailments so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it's that and not a supposed blow). It's a process of slow and asymptomatic progression, but when their visible symptoms begin (acute phase) the disease accelerates. *SYMPTOMS OF THE ACUTE PHASE OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE:* First, progressive sadness and/or pecking, hard belly (in many cases, with a dark spot with a half-moon shape on the belly, which seems a "tumor", to see it you have to wet your fingers to remove the down), falls from the sticks of the cage that seem for "errors of calculation" and then lameness (that make believe that they are by the previous falls, but both symptoms are due to that it hurts the liver), lack of flight and singing, the bird fluffs up his feathers or bends more or less slowly; Then, within a few weeks or a few days, heavy breathing with open beak, remaining lying on the floor of the cage near the food, sudden spasms from time to time (which make people believe that the bird is "epileptic" but it are twinges of pain of diseased liver), abundant greenish poop (caused by biliverdin which if it's not fasting, it means hepatic harm), then black and watery (from hepatic hemorrhages), then a strange purplish color of skin and beak, an excessive appetite and the final "improvement" of a few days (in the last phase, the already degenerated liver becomes deflated by what the bird seems to ameliorate), after which it suddenly dies among seizures (which may seem a heart infarct). For the first symptoms the liver has already degenerated to 80% and only an urgent (and accurate) vet action can save your bird and revert the liver situation. If you simply feed your bird with the loose seeds mixture (even if you give it fresh fruits, vegetables and let it exercise, for example by letting it out of the cage at home), right now your pet's liver is degenerating, and neither you nor your bird know. *Without liver protectors, it's almost certain that your bird will die early and in many cases you won’t be able to determine its real cause.* Hepatic lipidosis it's not only deadly by itself when the visible symptoms begin (sometimes even it does not warn at all until few moments before the death). Even before the acute phase it predisposes the bird to suffer infections, as it weakens the immune system. Obese pet birds have an higher risk of many other diseases, like arthritis, heart disease and cancer. Obesity in birds it's not so apparent but it's more dangerous than in other animals like mammals. So in addition to giving to the birds lipotropic and detox / regenerating hepatic protectors preventively and routinely, breeders usually make their own mixtures with low fat seeds. *PREVENTION AND/OR TREATMENT:* The time to act is NOW that your bird doesn’t have yet the visible symptoms. It's necessary to ACTIVELY PREVENT THE LIVER DEGENERATION. Fortunately it's easy to do it: *It's very advisable to substitute progressively (within some weeks, as per the instructions of the manufacturer) the mixture of loose seeds for some pellets compound food of seeds, fruits and vegetables (preferably those that already include liver protectors), because this prevents the bird from filtering and eating mostly the fatty seeds (but without insisting if the bird does not get accustomed to eating pellets because he could die for starvation within a few days).* *And, whatever the diet, it's CRUCIAL to add to the drinking water or to the food a LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTOR that includes carnitine and / or choline, betaine, methionine, etc., (and it's very convenient to add a DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTOR with thistle milk, boldo, artichoke extract).* Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories that remove the fat from the liver, clean it and favor its recovery. It's essential to add them to the pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It's something that breeders and vets know, but we the owners usually don't know. It are appearing in the market compound feed for pet birds that don’t include fatty seeds and that already include several liver protectors. *But the vast majority of owners still confidently feed their birds with the typical mixture of loose seeds with little fat and other very fatty seeds... And their birds continue dying for hepatic lipidosis in a large number of cases (likely, in most cases).* Now we know that, as fatty liver disease develops from the daily food itself, it’s most likely THE FIRST CAUSE OF DEATH OF PET BIRDS, and more so as the bird ages. Webs on FLD: www.beautyofbirds.com/liverdisease.html Liver disease is a slow, on-going progressive disease where the liver tissue is replaced with fat. When the liver disease has progressed, the bird may suddenly appear ill. www.lovinghands.com/forms/Hepatic%20Lipidosis%20-%20Fatty%20Liver%20Disease.pdf One of the sadder diseases many avian vets see is that of hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease. It's sad in a number of ways since often the birds are very ill, life-threateningly so, or possibly having died suddenly. Often the owners have been unaware of the dangers of feeding their beloved pet the seeds, peanuts, or other fatty foods the bird obviously loves to eat. These are truly cases of "loving your bird to death". Any bird can fall victim to fatty liver disease. www.researchgate.net/publication/46105643_Treating_liver_disease_in_the_avian_patient Dietary deficiencies of lipotrophic factors such as choline, biotin, and methionine may decrease the transport of lipids from the liver. www.veterinaria.org/revistas/redvet/n111110B/111004B.pdf The clinical manifestations of hepatic diseases in ornamental birds are much more frequent than people could imagine and in many cases they are not appreciated, progress in a silent way and when they are evident, vet action may arrive late. Most any avian symptomatology should be considered as if it was a pathology that could be serious, and not allow the disease to develop because then it will probably be too late. We must closely investigate the symptoms, take preventive measures that don’t harm (such as giving liver and intestinal protectors according to the leaflet) ask for advice from vets, breeders, etc. and procure the most appropriate treatment RAPIDLY, but without rushing in the treatment or with the doses in such small animals. If the days go by and the bird doesn’t improve, it's necessary to continue investigating and, if necessary, change the medication in an informed and contrasted manner. Doing nothing or stopping research usually ends up with the bird dead, but acting without being sure of what is done and in what dose, it likely ends the same way. It's necessary to obtain and confirm the sufficient vet experience and have the serenity to determine in each case whether it's convenient to hasten to do and / or administer what medicine and in what dose, or if it’s better not to do and let the situation evolve without medicating for the time being, or according to the medication that has already been administered. A limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated ASAP. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest fat possible (only birdseed, or with other low-fat seeds such as millet, chia, fresh fruits and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately... although nothing could foresee a fatal outcome. There are also food supplements protectors of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflets do not cause damage, it will surely save the life of your bird (if it's not too late), and will keep them with a basic wellness.

yeah, its safe. just be careful there aren't a lot of scavenger birds around your place. and please see that your room or wherever you're taking her is perfectly secure and not exposed to the outside world. i had many of my precious ones (2 in particular, which i solely raised from birth, as they were rejected by their parents) taken away from me.
how can I get my love bird to be comfortable enough to let me hold it? lol
