Seeds, fruit, and other plant matter make up the bulk of a wild lovebird's diet. As pets, they need a varied diet of seeds, fresh produce, and the occasional treat to thrive. The lovebird is well-known for its acrobatic abilities, which include the use of its feet to handle food and toys while it is suspended upside down. Keeping lovebirds content and healthy requires a large cage with plenty of perches, toys, and space to fly around in. Their health depends on having regular social interactions, mental stimulation, and a healthy diet. Although lovebirds have a high tolerance for hardship, they still need loving care and regular visits to the vet to live a full and happy life.
