Sleepy and not active

My love bird is sleepy full day and not very playful and active as her other birds in cage

Hi Aarti,

She may be sick or the other birds may be picking on her. It usually doesn’t work well to keep a lot of lovebirds together in one cage unless it is a large walk-in type aviary. Lovebirds can be very aggressive towards each other. And you should never breed lovebirds if you have more than 2 birds in a cage. If the bird is still not feeling well, you need to take her to an avian vet.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
