Question
one of my clients in a home has two lovebirds.
a few times they have fought and one has bled but recovered. this time they have been fighting and one has a bit hole in its neck,and is covered in blood , how can she stop them fighting. they are in a big cage with plenty of toys

Answer
I'm afraid that maybe i think its time to seperate them. If one is picking on the other one and causing it serious injury, it might end up becoming fatal. If you seperate them but keep them in cages side by side. If they are in a big cage with toys, its not like they are bored, one just seems to be aggressive and with birds there aren't many options with that. With mammals you can neuter them but unfortunately you cant with birds. Sorry I cant be of more help, take care
