Question Having TWO LOVEBIRDS
A member on here (PUGSLEY) told me that you should never have TWO Lovebirds together. Am i right in thinking this is NOT the case?. She states i have been misinformed and it is a misconception and went further to say i should do my research. She stated you must only have ONE as they will kill each other if you have TWO. Not only do i NOT believe this, i did look it up on the internet and it shows that i am right but she still says the internet is wrong. Can people please give me their opinions on this please?...many thanks.

Love birds normally pair for life. I think there must have been a misunderstanding. As they live in groups in the wild. They do do better in pairs but it can be harder if you plan to hand train then .

Thank you Sullivan...not only was this my belief all along but it's also what the internet stated. But this member insists on saying the internet is wrong and when i suggested she put a thread on the forum for the correct information, she replied what would they know.
So i decided to put the thread up myself as i do not like being misinformed.

Re: Having TWO LOVEBIRDS
From what i've read about Lovebirds they NEED lots of attention.If you have just the 1 it will "apparently" be your friend for life...I have seen many lovebirds sold in pairs and i thought this was a must, but not so...i found this on this website which i thought would be helpfull...
4.Love birds can be single! You don’t have to buy a pair. A love bird can be perfectly happy being alone as long as it gets a lot of affection and attention from its owner. In effect, you will be its lifelong partner!

this was the website...most interesting...

Yes i read the same information and gave her two links to two different websites. The point wasn't whether they can be fine on their own but the statement she made about you should NEVER have TWO because they will kill each other and that's why she only has the one.

Re: Having TWO LOVEBIRDS
My cousin breeds love birds and has done for many, many years. He keeps them in numerous quantities in purposely built aviaries - not had any problems.


(thought you might value my input)

This is not true and a total myth. Love birds bond and pair for life its only when one dies you might have problems as its belived the last one will pine for its mate but im not sure how true this is probably another myth lol. I have never owned lovebirds but i have to say they are very pretty i like the blue series ones.

Re: Having TWO LOVEBIRDS
Anyhow you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work it out. After all they aren't called Love Birds for nothing are they?
