What are the chances of finding a lost bird?

There are 50-50 chances of the bird coming back. It depends totally on the intention behind its leaving the cage. If it flies away to find its lost family, it may never come back permanently. On the other hand, if it flies away to take a stroll around, it may come back all by itself after a couple of days.

How do I find a lost lovebird?

How do I get my bird to come back?

Bringing the Cage Near the Bird Whenever possible, hang the cage outside so that it appears just as it would indoors.

Can I release my bird into the wild?

Are lovebirds aggressive to other birds?

Lovebirds can be aggressive to other birds, even to other lovebirds. Hand-raised lovebirds tend not to be scared and pose even more of a threat to themselves. Toe biting can occur when lovebirds are socializing/housed with small birds (i.e. parrotlets, budgies, and even docile cockatiels).

How often should I let my lovebird out of its cage?

At least once a day, these active birds should be let free from their cages (in a secure room without open windows, of course) and allowed to explore their environment. Both inside and outside of their cages, lovebirds will need a rotating array of toys for stimulation.
