Hi all! As it says I would like some help thinking of names for my Pied Lovebird! I got him at a bird convention in August where he was the only Lovebird being sold,being sold mislabeled as a Fischers Lovebird,overpriced, and his owners were clearly neglectful and inexperienced.When the owner brought him out to give to us to hold,he bit the fire out of her hand!
Really,with all those bad signs I should have just walked away but when he was finally in my hand He was much calmer and while he was biting me it was a fear bite the type to warn away rather than attack as he didn’t make me bleed.So I took a chance and brought him home! He is exactly as I thought a great bird that learned bad habits due to bad ownership! It’s been months of TLC and training to get him used to me,as he has a irrational fear of hands and he is scared of toys. I think he just lived a cage bound life on a perch before and doesn’t know how to be happy.But after 4 months I actually got him to stand on my hand and eat millet!!
He’s really coming along and I can’t wait to improve him further,as he never bites anymore unless I’m clipping his nails!so yeah he needs a name!Here’s my good boy!
