Question
I have a lovebird that is about 8 months old that continuely humps eveything. If it's not doing that it's regurgataing. I assume it's a male? The kids handfed it and it is extremly tame but rather embaressing when we have friends over. Help

Answer
Hi Stephen

Well I have love birds too.
sometimes it is better to get a mate for your bird if this truly bother you. It is nature and it will not stop.
We have one love bird that is always building a nest and laying eggs,her mate die,but she keeps doing the same thing.
if this is truly embaressing you 1. buy a mate or place the bird in another room when you have friends over.
He would like a wife or husband.
