So I've run into a few concerns I'd like some advice on.
First off, is it possible for a lovebird to be getting too much sleep? I uncover mine at midnight when I leave for work, but it stays fairly shady all day, so she doesn't get a full dose of light till I get home at 1030am till 4-5pm. I dunno how active she is when I'm away, but she is always very quiet when I get home.
Second, there is a small chip on the outer layer on tip of her beak, should I be concerned at all? On that note, I know it's said that you can tell the age of the bird by the black on the beak, but that is at the base not the tip right? I ask cause the tips of both bottom and top have a touch of black on them.
Coconut water, I imagine it would be an ok thing to share with her, but always better to be safe and ask if anyone had/heard of any issues with it.
Lastly, I wish to cuddle with her 24/7 non-stop. Anyone know of magic I could cast so sleep is not required.
She seems a lot more prone to exploring now, but is still a bit bratty. 90% of the time fingers are targets for attacks, but she seems afraid of just about everything else there is. She won't touch the stone pedicure perch I got her so I had to get a sandpaper like cover for her normal one cause her nails are sharp as sin. Got a millet hanger thingy, but as much as she loves millet, she won't go near it. I did find she loves chewing on large bamboo picks, I figured this out when she wouldn't leave my glasses alone and decided to find something similar in wooden form.
Thanks in advance.
