FAQs

Should I get 1 or 2 lovebirds?

Deciding between one or two lovebirds depends on your lifestyle and availability. A single lovebird can bond closely with you if you provide daily interaction, play, and mental stimulation. However, if you have limited time, a pair of lovebirds might be better as they entertain and bond with each other, reducing loneliness but potentially showing less interest in human interaction. If keeping two, introductions should be gradual and supervised to avoid fights, and be aware that pairs may breed, which requires additional consideration.

How much does one lovebird cost?

The cost of a single lovebird, typically hand-raised and healthy from a reputable breeder, usually ranges from £40 to £120 in the UK, depending on the species, colour variation, and whether it was hand-raised. Prices for rare species or colour mutations may be higher. Remember to also budget for ongoing expenses such as food, toys, cage, and vet care.

Are lovebirds easy to care for?

Lovebirds are moderately easy to care for but require daily interaction if kept alone or companionship if kept as a pair to prevent boredom and behavioural problems like screaming or feather-plucking. They need a balanced diet of quality pellets or seed mix, fresh fruits and vegetables, a roomy cage with safe perches and toys for mental stimulation, and regular cleaning of the cage and feeding dishes. Health monitoring and prompt vet care are important, especially for hand-raised birds which tend to be more sociable and tame.

Which lovebird species is the least aggressive?

The peach-faced lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) is generally considered the least aggressive and most affectionate lovebird species, especially when hand-raised and handled regularly from a young age. They typically show less territorial aggression compared to species like the masked or Fischer’s lovebird, though individual temperament can vary, and females may be more territorial than males.
