Love birds are a long living, energy-filled small parrot. They require constant handling to remain tame and well behaved and need bird toys and other bird cage accessories to keep these intelligent birds from becoming bored. A love bird can be a life long friend for people willing to put in the effort.
Love Birds need a fairly large bird cage as they need to expend all of their energy. A cage 2 feet by 2 feet and 2 feet high is big enough for a single bird but if you can afford a bigger one that's even better. Be careful when purchasing a cage to get one with bars quite close together. Love Birds are the Harry Houdinis of the bird world and can squeeze out of many cages other birds cannot. Also, make sure the door latches are secure as picking locks is another Love Bird forte. Love Birds are notorious chewers so take care with wooden cages. If you must have one be ready to replace it when the love bird has chewed it to bits
