My family and I have two Lovies, Luna and Flasket. They are a pair and are approximately a year old. We bought them from an elderly couple about three months ago. They came in a parrot-sized cage, and we found out the couple had kept them outside in a shed for most of the time they had them. Despite this, both birds seem perfectly healthy; they are eating, drinking, they grind their beaks before they sleep and they like to shout- A LOT.
We have since moved them into a more suitably-sized cage, which they are much more comfortable to move around in. We have started to try and tame them by holding some millet on a perch, which they have taken on a couple of occasions. However, they are still quite flighty if you stand near their cage, and they tend to panic when we put our hands in to clean the cage. I would really appreciate some tips to try and gain their trust, so that they feel as comfortable as possible.
