I figured, but Ernie does this thing where I play with him & he rubs his beak for a long distance on the floor... oh well. Does the Sun bites as much as the green Cheek? The GC are known for biting. Our Ernie's going through that phase... we can't wait to get it over. Thanks 4 answering my questions.
you realize that birds can't tell the difference between praise & punishment with words, so when your telling your Sun "no"...he's understandind that as praise, so actually your incuraging that behaviour...just a little advise, but your birds are too sweet
OK, who gave this a thumbs down?? Let me at 'em! Super cute, friends!! Super cute.

Do yours bang their beaks against things, like mirrors? Mine does it, I think it's a game.

constantly! I actually think it's a courtship thing.

Do they also rub their beaks on the floor or any surface they walk on?

Yep. It's their way of feeling things and testing them out, and sometimes simply to clean or sharpen their beaks.

They're both males actually, and both really sweet. It sounds like you have a sweet little lovebird too!

They are both sweet angels. The orange one seems to like kisses just like my fischer lovebird. Who is the male?
