Why is my lovebirds scared of the new toy that i bought?

they are trying to avoid and this i know that they are scared. should just leave it there till they get used to it? or take it out and not let them enjoy the toy i bought them.|||I would leave it in the bottom of the cage and when they are ready they will check it out. Birds really hate changes, but they will get use to it.|||Take it out-they clearly are not enjoying it. It takes time to find toys your birds will like. There's no real short cuts, its just trial and error. My birds have hated most of the toys I bought, until I learned their particular tastes. You can try to put the toy on a table near the cage so they get used to seeing it around.

The truth is, that most of the bird toys you see in the store are really for the owners, since the birds frequently don't like them.|||I to own a love bird and have had the same problem I just hung it out side the cage and the next day she was so curious that when I opened the cage she was all over it. I'd suggest that or just leave it in there they'll get used to it in time. or bribe them towards it by hanging some millet around it they'll risk anything to get it and soon realize its safe.|||take it out of the cage and slowly expose them to it imo. just place it within sight and over time slowly move it closer until you can try reintroducing it inside the cage.|||you may consider removing it and keeping it outside the cage at a bit of a distance they can get to know it . Or they may just not like it . So instead of additional stress , it would be best to remove.|||I'd say try smaller toys for your lovebirds. I've found lovebirds tend towards being skittish with anything large. As they learn which toys they prefer you can try to move up to slightly larger toys.|||hi,

my linnie is the same way in a couple of days he will get used to it. just leave it in there.
