| Question about Pets:Love birds? |
I don't know why people who have never owned and worked with love birds even open their mouths!!! Yes love birds talk, just like any other bird CAN and WILL talk if you take the time to teach it. I have had the pleasure teaching a few of mine to talk more then 30 words. So it's not impossible to teach them. All birds have the same structured muscle systems to learn the capability to talk!
None is different then the other, so why people can't do a little research before they answer some of these questions or would rather look completely stupid on this board is beyond me!!
Love birds are not any quieter or noiseier then what you already have. Training lovebirds are one the things i have done and is very easy to do. Finding what they are unique at is something different though. That is something that each one will bring on it's own.
Know that you shouldn't get them in pairs, keep them single, without mirrors, no happy huts, and you should have a good talker, and iv'e had 4 that have been taught to play basket ball. Others i have taught to roll over and play with hand held toys on my table.
I've had the pleasure of dealing with what others have said couldn't be done, just because they said it couldn't, Well low and behold, it could be done. I find the human race to be narrow minded much more then the avian species. Just because only ONE SPECIES was tested (Alex the Congo African Grey) doesn't mean other species are not just as smart... I would take that species on any day of the week with some that i've spent days on and way smarter then Alex.
Other species needs to be tested before just one species can be put on the books. The grey is NOT the smartest in the world!!! I would beg to differ, and i have worked with better birds other then the grey myself that put the grey to shame.
Either way, the lovebirds kept single do a fantastic job as a companion pet.
