Question
I just got a new lovebird today. He is a blue masked and is in perfect condition. He is alert and active, but he refuses to even go near his food, water, and cuttle bone. I am feeding him the same top quality food that he was eating at the petstore this morning. How do i get him to eat?

Answer
Not to be ruse but leave him alone if you just barely got him he is in a state of shock right now and wont eat until he is feeling more sucure so in a few hours if you arent bothering him, Also be sure his food dishes arent scaring him(no weird designs ect)
