Hi, I have gotten a 7 weeks old lovebird (gender unknown) to keep company for my older female lovebird (age unknown). They are housed in separate cages.

For their one to one training, I?ve placed both in the same room and let one out by its own while the other in its cage. The female one doesn?t have issues with training. But my younger one would always be distracted and kept looking for the female or fly to the female cage.

If I keep the female away in other parts of the room, she will be looking and pacing in the cage because she wanted the millets I used for training.

I have tried placing the female in a different room but the younger one still got distracted once she starts calling.

Any suggestions on how to train the younger lovebird?

Also when they are in their own cage, they would sometimes pace at the bottom looking for the other. But I?m not keen to put both of them out together yet because I noticed the female one would place the younger?s toe into its beak when the younger one gets onto her cage or vice versa.
