Lovebird and Peachface Care

Bringing your Lovebirds Home

First 3 days

First 5 days

Worming-  worm your bird no sooner than 2 weeks after purchase and for baby birds no younger than 12 weeks of age.

Mite and lice spray- this should be done atleast every 3 months which is simply sprayed on your bird under the wings and around the rear end.  Do not spray your bird in the face.

Introducing new birds to existing birds- place in a separate cage for 2 weeks so they can see each other and get to know each other.  Some lovebirds can be quite aggressive to new arrivals so keep a close eye on your birds.  It is recommended to place sulfadim, sulpha 3 or sulfa aid in the water for the first week when introducing any new birds to reduce any stress and stop any loss of birds.
