Lovebird Safety tools: what they help with

These tools help keep a lovebird out of trouble: toxic food and plant checkers, poison symptom guides and safety checklists for the home or yard. Many poisonings happen with everyday items that owners did not know were dangerous. Checking first takes seconds; treating a poisoned lovebird can take days.

What to know about safety and toxins for lovebirds

The problems seen most often in lovebirds are aggression-related injuries when housed with other species, egg binding, feather plucking and psittacosis. Over a 10-15 year life, catching these early makes a real difference.
