Lovebirds: PROS & CONS

[@juliacoulthard2380]

I have been preparing for 6 months to get a love bird! I am disabled so I can give all my time towards the bird. But I have sensitive ears due to my condition. but I purchased high grade silicone ear buds and gun silencer headphones. As wellI have been listening to love bird sounds for hours to make sure I can handle it. I am nervous but I think I made the right choice.

[@princessishalie]

you go girl!

[@robertsunderland9196]

I dont find they are that noisy at all. Especially when they are with you, they do like time out i noticed to sit and chirp there repertoire of tunes. I think its a great choice for you.

[@mihretaraya4774]

hows your lovebird?

[@gerry7860]

this kind of dedication is so wholesome and admirable. thank you for taking so much time out of your life before getting one. i’m sure whichever lovebird ends up being with you is going to be as happy as can be!

[@babycashback1691]

Did you end up getting your birdie? How’s it going if so? :) I am disabled as well and here for the same reason!! 💕

They are one of the funniest, playful and active birds, you won’t get bored. Some of them can be quite shy but also some can be moody just like people. Especially when the lovebird is a female. Nesting times they can be quite territorial, usually have to go through a few of their cycles to become more aware of when and where they want their space. The bite is no joke, they can draw blood, but they can also be very gentle and affectionate. I learned that I could trust my bird to preen my eyelashes, but also know how to quickly read when she was about to bite my hand. We avoided many ‘run ins’ over the years unfortunately some of my relatives didn’t know how to read her. I had to make sure to supervise when others interacted with her.

[@mahraalmehrzi1714]

if u don’t mind me asking, how do you know when she’s going to bite coz I need tips

[@diannbruce9542]

My love bird came from a breeder while still needing to be hand fed, he was so attached to me and I would highly recommend a hand fed baby .

[@matthewirvin6505]

I had a lovebird that never stopped chirping unless we got him out of his cage. It was very cute

[@carmenllodra1533]

I have a lovebird y love him and I had him for 12 years and he always likes to chill with me I’m his favorite of my family he is my sunshine in my life wen I’m sad he makes me happy maybe not all are good but not all of them are bad

[@thatonenoname196]

I have a lovebird named Lilybird. I didnt raise him first but the previous owners raised him and thought he was a she. He is such an affectionate bird, but the noise is no joke. If you want a bird that doesnt nearly break your eardrums, DONT get a lovebird. I love him regardless, even if he makes me go deaf every once in a while lol.

[@GodChooses]

For me, lovebirds aren't as annoying as budgies. Budgies tend to scream more than a lovebird does. But everyone's experiences are different. Budgies are resistant to training compared to a lovebird. Lovebirds also tend to appreciate you, good food, and play time. Budgies are BRATS lol. I really don't like budgies if you cant tell. Pro tip: if your bird is loud all the time, your nutrition is probably wrong. A seed diet is actually very unhealthy and unsatisfactory for birds, which is why most become loud. (Aside from budgies they are obnoxious all the time, like a cockatoo) LOL. High quality pellets. Fresh chop. And human grade organic seeds mixed into the chop is best. Bigger seeds/millet spray are great as treats for training.

[@belladonna1211]

Thank you for this comment. My dad has a love bird pair and as far as I've seen they only screech once in awhile. Like you I think budgies are absolutely obnoxious and ear piercing. Dad's lovebirds are way quieter than my friends budgies. I'm getting a love bird baby to hand feed from the same breeder dad got his from, but I live in an apartment. So I've been searching and searching to see just how loud they can be. Seems less than budgies to me. 🤔

[@raritydash4632]

I had a budgie who died, 10 years of his sweetness. It really depends on their personality. After him, I got a cockatiel and now a lovebird. Can’t find any similarities, but all three are unique and loveable for all their traits. Depends on what you like.

[@may3877]

i adopted a pair without me knowing, it was an early surprise for christmas, and i'm both a bit scared and very happy. I'm scared that i won't be able to take care of them but thanks to your videos I think i feel a little bit more secure.

[@jeremykwan1792]

Thanks Artsy, I fully agree with all your comments. Many thanks!🇸🇬😃👍

[@nocomment4642]

They can be noisy at times but they sleep 10 to 12 hours and you can cover the cage if you need a break.Mine has naps in the day too and is quiet then.It isn't constant noise.

[@lizettherrera2402]

Hi..I just bought one and he sleeps most of the day...he is only three months and I was worried about it sleeping alot..but I guess it's normal...I love him..his name is gumpy

[@FadedFilmsbyFahad]

Really loved the video and I own a lovebird and all your points are legit.

[@zero2nill905]

Great video even tho it was sad that I probably shouldn't get a lovebird

[@artsyariesinc]

Aww well hey I’m happy you found my video helpful! If anything if you’re a new pet owner I’d say it’s always better to research and discover it’s not a good fit rather than discovering that after the fact. I wish you luck on your journey :)

[@22yayayaya]

If someone is a bit busy for such a needy bird, I always recommend canaries. Most will never perch on you, but they do enjoy company. Just being in a room with music and loud conversation makes them happy. But they don't become depressed when left alone for most of the day, especially if you have several.

[@inbaltzafrir3846]

I talked to my parents about getting one for a while, tomorrow they’ll give me answers! (If I can have a lovebird or not) my mom said she wants to but my dad is not so sure. So I had a REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION so please answer me! I don’t know where I can buy a lovebird from, for example if I’ll buy a lovebird from a privet person, the bird might have some diseases, BUT I live in Canada Vancouver, and I couldn’t find any pet stores that has any lovebirds! Can you PLEASE ANSWER and HELP ME? Thank you so much! 😊

[@inbaltzafrir3846]

@Kat Cat wolf thank you!!

[@sapio8802]

@@inbaltzafrir3846 Hi. I read the comment you got and would like to say a few things i think you would like to know if getting a bird. If you want a cuddly and affectionate bird you should get only one , not a pair . Not in the beginning anyway. If you have a pair they have each other and wont get so much affectionate to you and other familymembers . I think thats what you want , a sweet and cuddly one (who wouldnt 🤗) And one more thing ,,, buy a young one ,, if you want it to be easier to train that is. And one last thing ,, dont let it be alone too much . If you know you will be out for long times , you should let the cafe be where other familymembers are , like in the livingroom for ex . Good luck , from Sweden ⚘

Hi :) You should never keep lovebirds alone. They always need a partner. They often develop psychological problems when they try to see people as romantic partners. Sooner or later. Here in Germany every breeder will say that. They never sell birds individually, at least in pairs. They even say that about all other bird species, but especially about the lovebirds. We have a couple at home ourselves, so we know what we're talking about.

[@Leo-nh9ui]

May I ask how how long you can leave them at home? I have to work, for over 6h. So buying 2 would be better, so that one dosent feel lonely?

[@jase123111]

I HATE the noise they make. I keep many kinds of birds and lovebirds are the worst for noise. It really hurts your years. Budgies are much quieter.

[@UmVtCg]

I've never had a lovebird that bit unless it's a female that's protective of the cage. But outside of the cage they'd never bite.

[@nallapanenimalli3464]

I have 4 love birds , 2 couples , 2 males and 2 female , Females are : Crystal and Angel Males are : Thunder and Shadow Today its day 2 since i got them , i tamed Angel but other three are horrible Im from India For people who wants to know how much their price is :3000 rupees (40 dollars app.)

[@irahays3869]

A budgie or cockatiel might give an aggressive little nip, a lovebird will rend flesh from bone.

mine never bites me, I have him for like 2 years I never cut his wings or ever did and he follows me everytime and everywhere but doesn't accept coming to my finger most of the times, only when we are on the dark and he can't see anything. That's why I'm thinking to cut it

Please get your bird a mate. They shouldn't be hold alone. If hold alone, they get serious psychical problems, when they see humans as their mates.

If you’re buying love birds from Arizona be aware that most of the love birds are wild caught. This can make training a lot nor difficult as they will be more wary and the will always be on the defensive. Mine is a wild caught it’s took months for me to get it’s trust. Even after 3 years if I leave my hand in the cage I get a nasty bite😂😂😂

The Lovebird doesn't come from having partners, thats common amongst all birds. The name combines the Ancient Greek αγάπη agape meaning "love" and όρνις ornis meaning "bird".

[@artsyariesinc]

Huh! I got my info from the top results for what it meant, which most explained their name came from their close monogamous bonds. That’s a really interesting alternative explanation though! If you have anymore info as to the names origin in connection to Greek culture I would love to learn 🤗
