Hey there guys,
our little flock is well, and nearly all hens are laying. My extremely sweet faverolle has taken to pecking me very hard when I retrieve the eggs, and chastising us pretty loudly. The bites do not hurt but it seems like bad behavior! Anything I should do? Should I leave an egg...

Some very exciting stuff is happening around here! Several months ago, I bought a proven lovebird pair. I had a baby lovebird in college and she and I were best friends. She passed unexpectedly, and I'd been considering more lovebirds every since. I was so happy to come across this pair. My...
I would consider lovebirds to be for intermediate level bird keepers. They can have some behavioral problems sometimes that are best worked on by someone experienced. It of course, depends on the bird.
It is a myth that lovebirds need to be kept in pairs, they can easily be kept singly like any...
