Lovebirds should be fed a variety of foods, including:
- Nutritious seeds such as sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, milo seeds, and canary seeds
- Pelleted food formulated for lovebirds
- Fresh fruits such as apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, and berries
- Fresh vegetables such as carrots, spinach, kale, and sweet potatoes
- Cooked rice and oatmeal
- Sprouted seeds and legumes
It is important to ensure that your lovebird's food is fresh and free from mold. Fresh water should also be available at all times. If you are not sure what to feed your lovebird, consult with your avian veterinarian.
In addition to food, lovebirds also need a variety of toys and perches to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. These toys can help your lovebird to exercise, explore, and express their natural behaviors.
