Helping a stressed lovebird

Lovebirds, being sensitive creatures, can easily become stressed by changes in their environment, loud noises, or lack of social interaction. Signs of stress include feather plucking, loss of appetite, and unusual aggression or withdrawal. To help a stressed lovebird, it’s essential to create a calm and predictable environment. Ensure they have a quiet space where they feel safe and secure, away from loud noises and disturbances. Spending quality time with your bird, talking gently, and offering treats can help build trust and alleviate stress.
