lovebirds and they were not as friendly as my Peachfaces -- however, other breeders have produced very friendly FischersLovebirds - genetic traits are also involved in shaping a bird's personality. Compared to other, larger parrots, Fischers Lovebirdsare relatively quiet, easy to house and maintain. Lovebirds are not know for talking ability and the Fischers are no exception.Those who love the Fischer's Lovebird enjoy its clowny personality, itsboundless energy and playful nature.

The Fischer's Lovebird comes in a wide variety of color mutations, including:

Albino, Pied, Black or Dark Eyed White, Dilute Blue, Dilute Yellow, Lutino andCinnamon.

Potential Problems / Training and Behavioral Guidance:

Lovebirds are pretty easy to manage for most people. They are not asdestructive and noisy as their larger cousins. If not properly socialized, however,they will discover their beaks as method of "disciplining us".

It really is important to learn to understand them and to guide their behaviorbefore an undesirable behavior has been established. There are few things toconsider ...

Biting: If not properly socialized, however, they will discover theirbeaks as method of "disciplining us". They can be very aggressive

towards other animals (including birds), if they don't know them or are jealous of the attention they are getting fromtheir favorite human.

Noise: Lovebirds are very vocal birds, making loud, high-pitched noises that can be a nuisance. They make noise allday, but especially at certain times of day.

Chewing: As stated above, lovebirds are also veryactive, and love to chew things. When they are let out oftheir cage, it would be wise to watch them carefully, andprotect any furniture, electrical wiring or anything elsethat they could possibly chew on. They are not big

chewers - as their preferred medium is "paper."

Paper: They love to tear up paper -- especially whenthey are in the "mating" spirit -- which is all-year-roundfor birds kept indoors (not exposed to the seasons). Ihave learned not to keep important papers laying around- and even use it as a way to keep my lovebird busy.

Training and behavioral guidance is recommended ...

Breeding

Lovebirds can start breeding when they are as young as ten months of age and may continue until they are five to six years. They are very prolific and may producehes within a single year. Due to this, they are usually readily available on the pet market.

During breeding season the behavior between partners will change: the male displays a more aggressive behavior, while the female beginspreparing the nest. There are specific nesting boxesfor lovebird-size birds, but if not available a cockatiel nesting box will do just fine. Click here fornesting

The nests are almost entirely made by the females and the three to six eggs are incubated for about twenty-three days. Thehatchlings will be cared for by the female until they leave the nest at about six weeks of age. The father then takes over thefeeding of the young birds for another two weeks or so until they are weaned.

For more information on breeding lovebirds, pleaseclick here.

Diet:

Lovebirds should be fed a quality seed mix, in addition to providing them with vegetables and fruits. It is recommended tosupplement their diet with vitamins and minerals. Bird-specific vitamins are available at the vets or better pet stores.
