Lovebirds think Phals taste good!

[Paul]

Perhaps leaving a cookbook opened to a good recipe for squab (facing their cage) would be instructive?

Hi Susie! Those lovebirds are such stinkers! I can't believe how they went to town on your poor phal. I must say that you have a gorgeous orchid. It's huge and has such pretty blooms! I have a male lovebird that was handraised but you still can't pick that sucker up without wearing a glove! He used to have a girlfriend but she died a few years ago. When they were together it was not a pretty site! They were constantly going at it (if you know what i mean). Seriously, every moment they were awake! I absolutely love mine but probably wouldn't get one again based on past experiences. Yours are so cute though!

they taste like chicken. LOL!! Just kidding!!

[susiep]

Sarah, you are so right! They really, really love each other, a lot, but hate everyone else. I have to use a glove, too. These are older so they have calmed down some.

Gregg, you are so funny today! I'm not going to eat my Lovies! My husband really laughed when I read him what you and Paul said (he agrees).

The last Lovebird I called Chuck's girlfriend, talk about onrey . She was an escape artist snaps on all the cage doors if you didn't she stalked you, everytime I looked there she was with an evil glint in her eye .
I bought 2 of them as a supposed pair ... not... both were hens I gave her to a friend along with a supply of band aids .
At one time I had several pairs and found the Dutch Blues or Blue Pieds were the best natured , sounds silly but is true . Gin

That's so funny Gin! And so true! Those little guys fool you with their adorable little faces and then before you know it you're bleeding profusely from several fingers. My female was really friendly outside her cage but getting her out was another story. I think I would of appreciated a pair of leather gloves!

At least you have to get her out Miss Chucky would hunt you down fly land and bite the %$*&^ out of you then take off and dare you to get her should of named her Vampira Gin

She probably did most of the damage.

Susie--

I used to have an evil lovebird as well...my Siamese cat was scared of him...which was I good thing I guess. Sadly, both are gone now (my collie would probably like their companionship...or a light lunch...)
Anyways, my lovebird eschewed most veggies & fruit as well...but he loved cilantro...I think i went through 2 bunches of it a week just for the bird.
Funny how something so little and cute can bite so hard and rule the roost.

Well, at least they ate a lower leaf.

That is still one gorgeous Phal!

What stinkers!
