why does adult lovebird still feed its own mate  Reply with quote  

Hi guys,

Does any of your birds feed its own mate?
I find it really weird & funny for Lemon to feed Lime at least 6 times a day.. duno what triggers her motherly love
both of them are female.. turning 3 soon Smile
Lime is greedy cos she never rejects Lemon's offer.. no wonder she looks fatter.. haha
They are mating every now and then too Shocked

hi, lovely pic.
this is very normal that they feed each other all the time, no wonder they are called lovebirds huh?
they take care of each other. doesn't matter if they are from the same sex or not. periquits do the same. it is part of the bird. don't worry too much about it. it is a social thing they have. gives them security and good feeling.
you could try to give them each a partner. will be better than just 1 male. then you might have some fighting or 1 will feel very lonely.
