Always!!! Fruits and veggies should be a part of your bird's daily diet. Just avoid avacodos (sp?) and apple seeds, orange seeds and pear seeds. Most fruit seeds are toxic to birds, with the execption of grapes, strawberries and similar small seeds from fruits that grow on vines.

Yes u can feed them veg n fruits. U can experiment with several fruits n veg n see which one it likes,mine even ate slightly dried bread. Remember to remove the leftover fruit n veg when the birds have finished eating, u do not want them to eat food that has gone bad or discoloured.

I feed all my birds, Lovebirds included, fruit, veggies, rice, pasta, pellets and seeds. They get a home made mixture every morning.

It is manditory but some are not edible. You can check them up from some websites. The best are apples, oranges, greens and etc. You should also feed them pellets. This is how is should go 50% fruits, veggies and nuts, 40% pellets and 10% seed mix (add some canary and budgie seeds tot eh seed mix).

Birds eat fruits and veggies in the wild, so why not in a cage? I feed all of my birds fruit and veggies.

at first they have a tendency to be shy then grow to be playful they love mountaineering and chewing on wires! each and every so often they're loud and mimic sounds. they're speedy beginners! i think of its a great option to very own a lovebird!!

Not only for treats, they should be fed fruits and veggies all the time!
Use seeds, nutriberries, and other similar things for treats.

of course, don't force him though. My love birds wouldn't touch anything but their seeds. And they are both healthy.
