Is it hard to take care of baby bird or elder bird?

Answer 1

Birds are one of the friendlier species to own as a pet, indeed. However, there are always advantages and many disadvantages one can contemplate when choosing another pet. Taking care of a bird can be very rewarding however, they are extremely dependent upon you to supply them the basics for living a quality life.

The size of bird plays a bigger role in the level of ease to taking care of the avian creature. Smaller, much easier, then the larger the bird, the more complex their daily living requirements are. For example, Parrotlets are far easier to tend daily than let's say the larger of the species like Macaws. Larger birds have larger food and nutritional needs whereas smaller birds of which mainly are seed eating.

Just like anything in life that is worth our energy and time, these pets are most deserving and should be cautioned when selecting which type of bird to obtain. Always remember there are adoption/rescues for just about every pet known today. It is better to give an animal a home that to seek the purchase of pets from breeders that are greedy and money enslaved thinking nothing about the over populations. Adopt today, and save a life.

It doesn't matter whether it's a male or a female lovebird, but if you care for it right with the care it needs then no it shouldn't be that hard.

Lovebirds need a cage which has at least two places to perch, with room to fly from one to the other. A cage with a horizontal measurement of 24 inches to 30 inches is appropriate. Anything less than 18 inches would be too small and restrictive. Perches need to be a size which is comfortable for the birds feet, not too small or too large.

It is convenient to have two sets of food and water dishes so that they can be alternated and washed each day. Water must be changed and the dish washed every day. Food dishes can stay longer, with food added each day if preferred, but food dishes do need to be completely emptied, washed, and refilled at least once a week. Caution -- food dishes sometimes look full, but only have seed hulls and waste in them, with no good food for the bird! Try to keep cuttlebone in the cage all the time to provide calcium for the bird. Millet sprays, sometimes called "seed trees" are a good treat.

Try to give fresh foods at least 3 or 4 times a week. Our birds love apples, broccoli, cabbage, kale, carrots, parsley, and spinach. You can try other vegetables and fruits, too. Lettuce is okay, but it doesn't have much nutritional value. In the summer we sometimes give dandelion and clover (flowers and greens) from the yard. Make sure to wash off any pesticides or chemicals which could hurt the bird. Our birds also like corn tortillas (not salted tortilla chips) and whole grain breads. Don't feed anything with high fat, salt, or sugar content, like donuts, cake, or cookies. Caution -- remember to remove any uneaten fresh food from the cage before it spoils.

Lovebirds need activity in the cage to stay healthy. Swings, ladders, and interlocked bamboo rings are favorites. The 6 inch cocktail swings are the best size for lovebirds. Pet departments or stores have many choices in toys for pet birds. Avoid small toys designed for parakeets and budgies. Lovebirds have very strong beaks for chewing and can break these items. Toys designed for cocktails and small parrots are the right size for lovebirds.

Lovebirds also like to bathe frequently. They will bathe in their water dishes if the dishes are large enough. If not you can sit a shallow dish of water in the cage occasionally for their use. They also like to be sprayed with water mist once in a while. This helps keep their feathers in good condition.

If you can handle as shown above then it shouldn't be that hard to look after a Lovebird. :)
