He is 1 and a half month old baby lovebird who loves to cuddle but when hes hipper he likes to bite fingers but you cant really feel it its like a nibble i know hes probably trying to test out his beek but i prefer he didnt use my fingers!incase its worse when he gets older... is there anything else that they like to chew on that i can make or buy...thank you|||A few ideas for toys you can make to entertain your lovebird. I would advise you research lovebirds on the internet to find out what their natural behavior is then you might be inspired to make toys that are more suited to him.
Cut square pieces of denim 25cm x 25cm, then you need a needle and cotton. You can sow on buttons, lots of different ones, shiny and colorful. Pieces of fabric, preferably cotton, tie strips of fabric and sew it to the denim square. If you have beads available, make bunches of beads or single beads scattered about. You must ensure you secure the small beads or buttons properly.
If he has a curious nature when he is around you, offer him things from around the house to look at. Try teaspoon, wooden spoon (he might chew the end a bit), plastic cup, cake measuring spoon set, couple toothpicks with the ends broken off. You can also add a few pieces of fruit to the items to investigate. He might not take to it immediately depending on how nervous he is of new things. If he is nervous you should offer him the same items everytime you try, once he has time to suss out the items he will start to get involved.
Straw or dry grass toys make good toys to unpick.
If you have childrens toys to your diposal, toy car, marble, ping pong ball, other small balls might be too heavy and hurt him if rolled towards him.
The velcro off a wallet, not the soft nylon hair, the hard spiky side is better.|||Both of these items can be bought at local pet stores:
Soft Wood
Cuttle Bone
You've probably heard of a cuttle bone, it gives calcium to the beak and trims the beak!
Soft wood is just something he can chew on, female birds need this while breeding.
Also you can snap off some branches from a Malbury tree (Non-Toxic tree) and put them on top of his cage, he may trim his beak on it as he plays, they love these branches because it feels like being out in the wild, I use malbury branches for all of my parakeets.
Best answer? ;)|||Your Love bird can chew on either soft wood or a cuttle bone. Both can be bought at any pet store that sells bird supplies.
-- PA|||Birds use cuttle bone for keeping their beaks in good condition so I suggest you get one. It also acts as a good thing to chew on. I reccomend it. It'll keep his beak strong too.
