My lovebird will be turning 1 this summer and she is very aggressive. She hates hands, but will fly onto your shoulder and won’t let you touch her. I have a male conure that she loves be with, but occasional they will get into fights. How do I stop this aggression?
Hi,
Female lovebirds can be very territorial. Often if you get her out of sight of her cage, she should behave. I would not let her interact with the conure. It is causing her to exhibit hormonal aggression, and a conure has a much stronger beak than a lovebird, and he could hurt or kill her without meaning to. Her behavior should improve without the influence of the conure.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
