I recently got a 6 month old parent raised peach faced lovebird. The previous owner could no longer keep her because her dog and the bird did not get a long. I just got her 4 days ago, and she is very curious about her new surroundings. Two days ago, I opened the cage door and let her come out of her cage at will. Well, she came out flew around the room, chirped loudly at first but then settled down. A little while later she flew into her cage and ate, but then flew back out. I waited for a while to see if she would go back into her cage and after 2 hours she didnt go back, so I had no other choice but to catch her and put her back in her cage. I have been doing a lot of research, and have read many places that it is a good sign that the new lovebird wants to explore, and is getting used to her surroundings. She actually tries to open her cage door and get out.I have been going up to her cage and talking to her, and she doesnt run away from me. So I was wondering if it would be a good time for me to start putting my hand in her cage and offering her treats? I also had read at many places that it's a good idea to clip the bird's wings so it would not put itself in danger,a nd also that it would be easier to tame her. So yesterday I went and clipped her wings. I was also wondering if it was okay that her cage is placed in a room upstairs where, it is quiet with little activity??
