Lovebird foster parents agree...

We Adore Our Lovebirds!

• Lovebirds have a zest for life, with big bird personalities in small packages.
• Outfitted in beautiful colors, they rate at the very top of the cuteness scale.
• Their non-stop activity keeps us laughing.
• They’re opinionated and funny – like having your own personal soap opera, except cuter.
• Musical cheeping fills our homes with cheer.
• Always curious, these little birds like to be near the center of activity, “chatting” with their humans.
• Lovebird pairs like to be near us, but are rarely shoulder birds. They prefer hanging out with their Lovebird buddies, and don't need much dedicated time and attention from humans.
• When tame, single lovebirds can be sweet little shoulder birds. Singles require more attention from their humans because they see you as their mates!
• Usually ravenous, so easy to feed.
• You’ll never need a 'paper shredder' if you have lovebirds around.
• And finally, when in pairs, we think they're perfect birds for people with busy lives.

We have both grown quite fond of our foster mom. We're fly to her and play all sorts of games: hiding in her crossed arms, sitting on her head, preening her ears, etc. We love being with her! We don't like to step up but once we go into a typical home where we will have our wings clipped, our foster mom thinks we'll learn quite quickly. We don't typically bite but can get a little nippy when it's breeding season - and Svengali laid a few eggs this spring. We got to go through the process of sitting on *eggs* (our foster mom switched out our eggs for white bingo balls! Our babies were named N35 and N42!) and our foster mom is hoping it's out of our system now. But we may have other plans......Be sure to ask her how to discourage us from nesty behavior.

Uh-oh, we've heard there are lots of tricks that you can use on us! We've been on a good diet of pellets for a while now, and LOVE our couscous/veggie dish that we get every morning. Come on guys - do you know how hard it can be to find a pair of lovies that are already mostly tame, don't bite, eating good food, and are absolutely gorgeous?? (if we do say so ourselves!) Please call Mickaboo today and take us home. We are ready to get all the love and attention we deserve!
