Lovebirds think Phals taste good!

No offense taken to any of your comments! I love them but they are really rotten birds. They are not "love" birds. They can bite really hard! I may try lettuce or something leaf-like next. Did you see how much they ate in one day??? Their bellies must have been stuffed! See that one in the picture giving me the evil eye ... that is Jade. She is really crazy. She probably did most of the damage.

Your bird sure have good taste though! And they like the same things you do.
I have canaries and they go completely crazy over lettuce (dark leaved), broccoli and apple. They like other stuff, but these are their absolute favorites! Maybe you could try those?

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.
