Re: What to do with a widowed love bird?
Posted by Bridget on 2/22/08

Hi
the best way to introduce a new lovie is to buy one and keep
their cages right next to eachother for a week or 2. then
let the older one play on top of the new ones cage and visa
versa.
Is your male handleable? If yes after 1 week take both of
them out and let them play together. if they start to argue
seperate them and try again 2 days later. Eventually they
will like eachother.
