Helen W. is unsure about her two birds:

 

Love bird and pineapple parrot.

 

They are a pair.

 

The pineapple parrot likes to bite me.

 

The love bird attacks her fruit treats.

 

Dear Helen

“Birds of a Feather, Stick Together” And you have no feathers.

 

You say they are a “pair”?

 

They likely have bonded and are not likely to ever let you in unless you were there from the beginning.

 

 

I’m guessing the “pineapple” is a pineapple Green Cheek conure?

 

You may have some luck if you can separate them and bring one at a time into another room to work with.

Only time and patience can tell.

You may have better luck with a “single” older bird.

 

Regards,

Catherine
