18. I had a lovebird for 13 years....

I was the only one she did not bite....:D

Pipo was the head of the household here - boss over a feisty Jack Russell terrier too - throughout her life.

I adored her and her comic antics until she keeled over and died on the kitchen floor 3 years ago.

I let her out of her cage several times a day in the kitchen while I cooked, and gave her a little wooden box with flanel rags inside (her "sheets"!) to sleep in every night - she LOVED her bed.....

On the kitchen table I would always have a cardboard shoe box with a little door and some windows cut into the side for her to play in with some toys. Mine was a female and loved to snip little strips of paper from sheets of paper to make a nest with - kept her happily busy for hours each day.

The only thing I do not miss is her screeching sounds she made on and off all day long.......:silly:

I also would play her a tape of bird/forest sounds which she tried to imitate.

If you get them young they do learn some sounds if you practice them at the cage every day for a period of time.

Have fun with your bob!
