From the Author
African lovebirds have long delighted pet bird owners. Their inquisitive, playful nature and small size make hand-fed lovebirds ideal pets. This book will guide you in how best to choose a quality lovebird, as well as give solid advice on how to care and train your bird so it will be a happy, well-adjusted pet. If you have a lovebird who has developed such bad habits as biting or screaming, there are tips on how to turn such behaviors around. The book dispels many of the myths about lovebirds, such as the belief that they must be kept in pairs. My overall goal was to write the book that I wish I had when I first starting keeping lovebirds.
