I adopted 2 female lovebirds last week and I cant find much about them online. Anyone own any that can tell me a few things like what they like to eat (i.e. veggies,fruits,) or foods they can't have. Do they play with small med or large toys and just general stuff you know just by having them. They have a pretty big cage with toys and seed/pellet and I want to give them veggies and spinich like my other birds but not sure what they can/can't have. Thanks

Pet store doesn't have any used bookstores don't have any and the only other is Barnes and Noble and they want 25 bucks which my bank wanted first but I just though of something I will go to ebay/half or something they usually have some. sorry if that can't be posted wasn't sure

Good luck with your lovebirds. I'm sure you'll find your info somewhere on the net.

I used to have love birds and they were alot of fun, at one time I had 34 birds but that was alot of work..my birds ate what I eat. they did like some veggies better than others just try it till you find out what they like. love birds are very playful and they are alot of fun to watch..gl with your new babies O0

Because this is a family site, I won't type the exact word but what if you reversed it to "loveac... bird" :o
:)) :)) :)) hippo love that one better :)) :)) :))
I have a lovebird who will be 10 this year. He likes to eat mostly millet-based food. I've been most successful with the food made for parakeets, where most of the pieces are very small. He doesn't like the vitamin pellets, so I put drops in his water to make sure he has proper nutrition. They do like fruit, and some vegetables. When we were carving our pumpkins for Halloween, he nibbled ferociously at the pumpkin pieces. He loves mango and pineapple too. I always keep a millet spray in his cage as well. Hope this helps! Any other specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
sorry i don't
lovebirds are really smart.some even talk. :)
I have a lovebird and a yellow nape and i feed them everything i eat but i have been told no chocolate and no mangos. Was told they would kill them not sure if its true just what my local vet told me. Good luck with them
being a former pet retail specialist ;)
I can tell you that lovebirds are from the parakeet family. they will eat smaller seeds like sunflower, millet, whatever you buy for your smaller parrot type birds. and as for fruits, be careful not to give them too many fruits and veggies. they will (like a kid) eat to their hearts content and end up getting sick (i.e colds, OD on vitamins)
aside from that, apples, bananas, apricots, kiwi, those types, they love!
good luck
Thanks everyone
