My bird is a single bird. I didn't get him a mate because I have the time to take him out and spend time with him. However, I've found that he really enjoys responding to bird videos on Youtube. I just look up "lovebird singing" and he sings right along. Often he pecks at my laptop, and watches the screen if I put the video in full screen mode. Is this healthy for him? Could this cause confusion and more loneliness once he realizes they aren't actually there? When I turn the video off, he goes quiet. Does this mean he is now worried about where his "friends" are? Or, could this be beneficial to him? Can he not differentiate between the video and other birds? He also sings to his birdie friends outside the window when I leave it open. Any help would be much appreciated.
