when I first got my lovebirds I clipped their wings and I could hold them and play with them. The the ' boy' nipped a bit so we would mostly have them out on the table with us but we wouldn't give them our fingers. I used a ramp or a stick to move them around or they would jump onto my shirt and I could take them around like that. Then the 'girl' started nipping (maybe after they started laying eggs, I'm not sure) and now they are both really aggressive. I can't even hold them to take a photo with them any more
we are all frightened of them out of the cage because they charge at our fingers or ears and bite really hard
I do cover them at night from 8:30pm and I uncover them in the morning about 7:30 - 8am. Very occasionally I cover them in the day for half an hour if they are very noisy and Mum complains because she is talking to visitors or something.
I give them greens from the garden every day and they eat them. They have a cuttlefish in their cage. They won't eat any fresh fruit or vegetable but I do poke some in their cage sometimes, but they never eat it. I feed them Small Parrot Food with fruit and nuts. The packet says 5 different seeds and wholegrains, shell grit, peanuts, currants and nutrivit which has vitamins in it. It says it has vitamins A, B group, C, D3, E, calcium and iodine.
I used to let them out to fly a bit (with wings clipped) and to play. Dad and I made a playground for them
but I stopped letting them out when they laid eggs because I thought they would have babies so I left them alone. And now I have no babies and I can't play with them either
They are very cute, they whistle when I whistle and they love the toys I give them and make for them. They spend a lot of time ripping up newspaper and one of them carries it up to the nest box.
I hope this information helps? Mum helped me write this
