Love bird sleeping habits

My love birds have recently started sleeping on separate perches. Is there a developmental reason for that?

Hi Katherine,

Birds change sleeping places all the time. I don’t have enough information to guess any particular reason why they may have done this. Are they a bonded pair? Clutch mates? Same sex cage mates? Regardless it’s nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
