My lovebird is not feeling well, he's feeling terrible, he's just sitting with all his feather raised and he's so motionless; however, it has some food every now and then. What do I gotta do? I can't get a vet now.

Until you can get him to a vet (which you cannot avoid, and it's best that you not try to avoid it because if you somehow wind up with a dead bird because of it, at least you'll have the comfort of knowing you did something other than watch him suffer in illness - http://www.aav.org/vet-lookup/ ), I would put him in a smaller cage, if available. If not, move the food/water bowls nice and low along with perches and toys so if he falls, he doesn't fall far. Sick birds may have poor balance, and the last thing you want on top of all of this is an injury.
Keep him warm. I would say 75F is around a good temperature, and also, a slightly higher level of humidity would be nice. You should never leave a bird in a cold, dry place, especially since parrots are native to warm, humid areas. If you can't get him to a specifically heated area, get a hot water bottle and lay it on the bottom tray of the cage, then lay a towel on top. It'll keep him warm without burning him. Call a vet and see when you can go in. Until he begins acting like his normal self or he sees a vet, keep him in this "hospital" cage setup. Be sure to check the water bottle often so it doesn't get cold on him.
Good luck.

Its very organic for the lovebird to have an egg, and then yet another, and then yet another. by way of certainty that there is not any male then the egg isn't fertilized, no infant lovebird. you could postpone the egg and any after that until eventually you agree directly to get a male, they settle for one yet another and initiate- nicely, you know! I recommend you be style and take the egg while she won't notice. keep in mind that laying to many eggs constantly isn't sturdy for her well-being. I t depletes her of supplementations and minerals needed for sturdy well-being. substitute her cage around interior and supply her countless issues to accomplish that she isn't inspired for laying eggs.

You have two choices at this point, and I don't mean to be cruel or sound mean, but this bird should have been to a vet days ago, when you first noticed signs of illness.You can either find a VET, or watch it DIE. I hope you do the right thing. Your bird is sick and needs medical attention.
Best Wishes

my bird felt the same way! Acted the same... turned out, she was getting ready to lay an egg! And I thought it was a boy! Maybe the same thing is up with your bird?

If he's in the cage, you should take him out and give him some attention. Birds get bored too.
