This is a really cute love bird I just got him a week ago. I was in a hurry I really wanted a blue love bird. I wanted a hand raised that I could play with and snuggle with (like the last bird I had). This one was hand raised supposedly but it does not want to really be held. I can catch it and hold it but I think it would be happier with somebody who didn't really want to hold it; maybe had another love bird he could hang out with all day.
