Popular Species and Color Variations
There are four commonly available species of love birds for sale, boasting over 100 unique color combinations. Their name, “love birds,” stems from their endearing habit of sitting in pairs, preening each other’s feathers—a sign of their deep social bonds. These birds are not only social but also quite vocal, often emitting high-pitched chirps that add a lively atmosphere to any home.
Ideal Age to Purchase Love Birds
When considering love birds for sale, the ideal time to acquire a baby love bird is between 4-7 days after they have left the nest. At this age, they are young enough to be easily trained yet old enough to care for themselves. For those new to love birds, we recommend starting with a single bird. This allows for ample one-on-one interaction, helping to tame and bond with your new pet. After a week or two, you can consider adding another to keep them company.
Housing and Care for Love Birds
Caring for love birds involves providing a stimulating environment. Whether you keep them in a cage or an aviary, the key is to ensure they are well engaged. A typical aviary for love birds measures around 2m high, 2m long, and 1.2m wide, comfortably housing five or six pairs of the eye-ring species or two to three pairs of Peachfaced love birds. When looking for love birds for sale, it’s important to also consider their housing needs—ensure the aviary has a covered top and back to protect the birds from the elements.
Feeding Your Love Birds
A proper diet is crucial for the well-being of love birds. When searching for love birds for sale, consider their dietary needs. A small parrot mix containing a variety of seeds, including millet and sunflower seeds, is ideal. Additionally, regularly feeding them fresh greens like spinach and broccoli, as well as chopped fruits and vegetables such as apples, corn, and carrots, is essential. Always ensure that all fruits and vegetables are thoroughly washed before offering them to your birds. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times, and love birds enjoy bathing, so provide a shallow dish of water occasionally.
Breeding Love Birds
For those interested in breeding, finding love birds for sale that are already bonded pairs is a great start. We offer 6-12-month-old bonded pairs ready to breed for approximately $120 per pair. Genuine breeding pairs with eggs or babies are available for around $150 per pair, depending on the mutation.
Love Birds Dietary Requirements
Maintaining a proper diet is essential for the health and longevity of love birds. When purchasing love birds for sale, ensure you have access to high-quality seed mixes, preferably those containing budgie mix, grey stripe sunflower, and hulled oats. Supermarket seeds often lack the necessary nutrients, so opt for a premium mix. Freshwater and high-protein crumbles are vital, especially for breeding pairs, as they help the offspring grow strong and healthy. In addition to seeds, love birds enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables, but these should be offered in moderation.
