really?? but i figured my love bird was a guy because it tends to "hump" lots of things. it likes soft things.. it'll go on stuff animals, towels, hair.. i thought it was mating season or somthing, cause it does this lil dance, where it rubs its tail all over the stuffed animal.. to me it looks like humping lol.. so that's y i ruled out the mother feeding instinct and thought maybe it was some weird behaviour
