I am looking to adopt/purchase a bird in the next few weeks. First I’d like to settle on a breed. There is a flea market where we go that has a breeder who sells parakeets, finches, lovebirds, and cockateils. I am in love with the lovebirds. They’re gorgeous.
I think I am pretty much settled on them but are there any other birds under $50 that are sweet enough to hold?
Are lovebirds holdable/trainable???
Please tell me anything I would need to consider about the specific breed.
And if you know about lovebirds please tell me what I would need to know about owning one. We do have a vet nearby who handles birds, so that’s not a worry:)
Feel free to tell me about your birdies! Or even email if you’d like…
I will be purchasing a larger cage for whichever bird because I think they should have more space in and outside the cage, which is why I want to know more about lovebirds. I’ve checked out different websites and forums but they are all very biased about their breed…
Also, if I get a love bird, should I get him a mate as well? What is your experience?
As well as other types of birds…is it better to purchase them in pairs from the breeder?
