Hi everyone,

I acquired a lovebird yesterday, which got me greatly interested in learning training techniques and the best methods of care. Her name is Kiwi and she's peach-faced.

Other than her, I have two budgies that are hand-trained and I allow to fly when convenient - Sunny & Joli.

Thank you!

Sara

Welcome! I hope that you'll post pictures sometime. Lovebirds are one of my favorite types of parrots.. and budgies are up there too.

Thank you, caprifolia. I will compile a few good pics.

I've just started to get my new lovebird out of her cage, and she's very affectionate! She's also very nippy. And perhaps a little spoiled? She doesn't like my hand, but loves hanging out on my shoulder and nipping my neck. I need to get over a bit of a fear reaction....
