I rescued a Pied Lovebird last week. It had an overgrown beak, which I trimmed, then Dremeled, and it is now happy and eating a lot more. With it's beak now down to a functional size, it is now eating things it has never eaten before, so now it will get a nice balanced diet. Here I shared some of my veggie subway!It is neither tame nor wild but has a very nice disposition (does not bite)
