Harrison's Bird Diet is the best food out there. It is pelleted so there can be some resistance from your bird transitioning to the new diet if he has been on a seed diet, but it is nutritionally complete and very high quality. Toys I find that lovebirds like have been cotton rope toys that they can preen and groom like the feathers of another bird.

He is bored. Provide a variety of toys and puzzle feeders for him. Increase play time, both in the cage and out, to keep him distracted. When the behavior is seen, a stern "No" should stop him and then he can be distracted. Be firm and be consistent.

Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

Thanks for your question about Zucchini. I am not sure if I completely am understanding your question, so if I don’t address it completely please re-post. Honey sticks are often very appealing to our pet birds, but unfortunately they are not good for them. They contain a large amount of sugar that can result in gastrointestinal upset and can also result in bacterial and yeast growth in the intestines. I would recommend using a different high value treat item for training and socializing purposes. You mentioned seeds, and those can be very useful. I hope that helps to answer your question, and I wish you luck!

Thanks for reaching out about Cheeya. You are correct that birds need more than seeds/pellets to thrive. A wide variety of vegetables including greens, red/orange/yellow vegetables such as carrots and squashes. Fruits are more like treats, due to high sugar content. As per handling them. It is a continuation of winning their trust and offering treats. Good luck.
