Lovebirds are very cuddly. Mine used to "nest" in my hand, sort of shifting his feet back and forth to get comfortable. I miss him so - I plan to get another lovebird soon.
I agree with many of the post, lovebirds are amazing. I too had a lovebird. He was with us for 17 wonderful years. Baby was his name. I miss him very much.Jellybean is adorable and reminds me so much of Baby. He loved smuggling with us. Such a sweet video! Thanks for posting!
hehe-they are such firecrackers when they want to be! so much personality in such little bodies! If Polly had something to say-you heard about it and you knew exactly what he was saying!
Your lovebird is beautiful, what a sweet boy. We had to put my peachfaced boy down last week due to a very aggressive tumour and I miss him so so much... He was very similar to yours, incredibly human tame and so so cuddly. Enjoy your bird to the fullest as you just never know when you are going to lose them... Skittles was only 9 =/
Very nice, relaxing video for a change! I often see people petting their birds too rough, too fast, too much. Yours is just perfect. He is giving you lots of trust.
hes very soft, the little feathers around his neck are extra soft, the feathers on his head and the rest of him are more study. Jellybean loves to be cuddled and "preened", its coming into summer time now and hes starting to lose some of his thicker winter feathers and get new ones, so being preened is just something he adores at this time of the year...mind you hes ALWAYS there for a cuddle and scratch, hes very very affectionate, we adore him.
What an adorable video! This is really a proof of what you can accomplish when you don’t try to ”trick” or “train” an animal into trusting and loving you. The first time I had my late lovebird sleeping in my hands like this, completely trusting me, feeling completely safe, was one of the proudest moments in my life :)
Nice work, chickabeee. I love to see the bond that you and Jellybean have together. They're just like little kids, aren't they? Like some others have mentioned on here, I lost Max, my lovebird, a few years ago. He ingested some foreign object that blocked him up. Be careful. They can get into mischief while wandering around your home.
He reminds me of my late Mott The Hoople; he is beautifu. I have a pied lovebird who is bonded to me now; his name is Mr. Turkle. The Turk will chomp at anyone who comes near us while we are bonding. I love him with all my heart and soul, same as I did the late Mott...gorgeous little birds, aggressive beings, and smart!
what is it about lovebirds? they are truely amazing! i mniss mine everyday as well....had him 18 years and he died over two years ago and i still miss him!
we just adopted a peach face love bird. noone wanted him because he has a weird leg. it sticks out some but he has use of it so hes not totally crippled. right now we are waiting for him to trust us and just being patient. hes coming around but its a slow process. beautiful little birds.
I love your video and I love your answers to people. Personally I get really angry when people think they can “trick” animals into being tame somehow. I can’t help but thinking “With that attitude, no wonder your bird doesn’t trust/like you!”. It’s all about being consistent, not pressuring them and earning their trust. I had a lovebird just like Jellybean too, so tame he would ask politely for scratches :) I miss him every single day…
XD Sounds like my babies, cashews every day, you just say cashew and they won't stop until they get it!! But your baby lovebird really is a cutie and he just looked sooo happy in your hand there, I miss when my babies did that. Now I am lucky if I get them to cuddle to my neck.
you CAN NOT trick a birdy to be tame and LOVE you, what they give in the way of friendliness and return love is UNCONDITIONAL, when they love you its FOREVER
I have a peach faced lovebird and her name's Pippi. We found her on our back fence and took her and we could tell that she flew away because she wasn't scared of us at all! And you could tell her wings had been clipped because she could fly, but she had to flap her wings really hard. We've had her for 9 months now and she can FINALLY go on my hands, although she's not used to it yet. I can't wait to do that to my birdie!!
Lovies chirp loudly all the time. Thing is that their chirps are high-pitched, so that might not sit well with some people. For me, I don't care...I loved Mott The Hoople, and I love Mr. Turkle, so let 'im chirp away. Don't always appreciate one of The Turk's high-pitched shrieks in my ear, but I live with it daily and that is what loving Mr. Turkle is all about.:)
My other lovebird, Einstein, doesn't like to be touched but he does like to lay on me. I've never had a bird actually lay down on me before. Perch? Yes. Nestle in? Yes. But Einstein lays down flat on his stomach with his head to the side. I'm always taking pictures of him doing it because it fascinates me. Such an unusual sleep position from a bird in my experience. I've been keeping parrots for almost 20 years and I've never seen anything like it. Crazy bird.
Of course loads of toys/treats/loving and playing helps too XD Then again I am one of those people who spoils my baby birds. Even the one who, while "tame" (Which I still have a hard time putting that label on them, I think they are never truly tame but they just choose to be part of my flock) does still bite when he's in a mood still gets all the loving he'll tolerate when he's up for it.
Aaaaw. I want to cuddle your love bird. Such a cutey. I had many years ago only a budgie. And he didn´t talk because I told him so much words. He don´t speak. My husbands parents have a very talkative cockatiel.
Cassandra, you may have a female lovebird. Both will cut strips of paper, but the females especially. Then they tuck the strips of paper into their tail feathers for nest building. One of my bird's favorite toys was simply a plastic vitamin bottle that I put a metal wine bottle cap inside, so that it rattled as he rolled it around and played with it.
Just give her time, there is no rushing love and affection from pet birdies, its taken me over 6 years to get Jellybean to this stage where he is ABSOLUTELY at home and feels safe with me.
it's like he's smiling....so sweet
stop anthropomorphizing raptors
Jellybean is very trusting of that person to lay down like that in their hand and closing eys and relaxing.
Lovebirds are very cuddly. Mine used to "nest" in my hand, sort of shifting his feet back and forth to get comfortable. I miss him so - I plan to get another lovebird soon.

Sometimes I also feel that parrots smile.

This bird is sooooo sweeeettt :-)
Jellybean is such a beautiful bird!!
My baby Sunny does this. Just loves the head rubs. They're such sweet little birds!
hehe-they are such firecrackers when they want to be! so much personality in such little bodies! If Polly had something to say-you heard about it and you knew exactly what he was saying!
What a lovely lovebird
Jellybean is an adorable name! what a beauty!
What a sweet little guy!

That is the sweetest little video (and birdie too). Reminds me of my little peach faced baby, Pippin :)
I wish my lovebird was with me right now but he died I miss him so much:'(
When a lovebird dies in my House they shall be remember for ever and loved.
Amen

aawwwww you can actually see him smiiiiileeeeee :D soooooo cute!!!
omg peach faced lovebirds r amazing :)
i had one she was amazing
yes he's a little angel. if you put the time, attention and love into a pet birdy, you get the rewards, i sure have :-)
Of course loads of toys/treats/loving and playing helps too XD Then again I am one of those people who spoils my baby birds.

this reminds me of my 2nd bird i had when i was little
Yup...me thinks that love bird loves ya!!
So cute. How does it feel like? Is he cuddly like a duckling or does he have rather sturdy feathers?
うちの子はここまで撫でられない
可愛いコザクラインコ♡
So cute 😘 I want one
Aaaaw.
I want to cuddle your love bird.
Such a cutey.
I had many years ago only a budgie. And he didn´t talk because I told him so much words. He don´t speak.
My husbands parents have a very talkative cockatiel.
That's for sure! No wearing black in the birdroom! My African Grey [Timneh] is dusty too AND she hates baths so she's bonus messy. Kids, right? lol
I miss being able to do this with my love bird.
Other than my Cockatoo, no one enjoys a scritch more than my Lovebird, Peachie. :D
How adorable it looks the same as my peachface, the same colours. I have a couple of videos of my one on my youtube account
Cute babybabybaby:)
Precious!
THAT IS SO CUTE !
My love bird also is a meanie.. When you hold him he doesn't bite or anything, but he dislikes it. And he is mean to other parrots xD
How cute!
Gorgeous

sooooooooo sweet!!
your lovebird looks bigger than most lovebirds. i know cause i got 9. Its so relaxing to rub their heads.
Just give her time, there is no rushing love and affection from pet birdies, its taken me over 6 years to get Jellybean to this stage where he is ABSOLUTELY at home and feels safe with me.
they are extremly loud but its a sign that they r happy and its better that they talk and sing rather than sit quietly in a corner
soooo lovely
make me remember my lovebird Ocha :'( he died 3 days before Christmas 2013 ._.
+Papoy Minions wow mine died 1 day before Christmas 2013
adorable!!
jellybean is such a sweet little baby
