My lovebird has claimed the kitchen as their territory

Does anyone else's bird have a specific room or spot they've claimed? Raja loses their mind if anyone enters the kitchen during meal prep time. They perch on top of the fridge and supervise like a tiny feathered Gordon Ramsay. It's hilarious but also slightly concerning.

Been thinking about this thread all week. I've tried a few of the suggestions and getting a kitchen scale and weighing them weekly to track health was the game changer for us.

A friend who's had birds for 20 years told me to try clicker training for 10-15 minutes a day. I was skeptical but it actually worked.

Welcome to the club! My lovebird trained ME in the first week. They're way smarter than they let on.

My vet in Pickering suggested playing calming bird sounds from YouTube during the day and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

Oh my bird did this for about a few days and I tried everything. Honestly, time was the biggest factor. They just grew out of it.

My vet in Burlington suggested introducing new foods by eating them in front of the bird — monkey see monkey do and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

Don't worry, this is super common with lovebird. You're doing great!
