I have 2 lovebirds who have totally bonded to each other. They are about 2yrs old. I have one male and one female. They dont enjoy my presence at all. I give them time outside of their cage lots. They just live their lives with eachother and look for me for food, water , etc. I dont mind though. lol I also have a year old cocker spaniel who often tries to chase them. Im always watching them. She often looks like she is trying to hunt them. She gets into a stance and watches them and slightly sneaks. One good yell freezes her though.lol If i get a grey could i get the dog to be nicer or just not attack? would my lovebirds behavior towards me influence my new grey?
