New parrot owner!

[YoYoLovie]

Hello Everyone!

I am Yolanda, 27 years old and living in the Netherlands!
Around one month ago, I bought my first bird! A (pink faced) Fischer's Lovebird called Mango!
My mother used to breed budgies, cockatiels and lovebirds and I always loved watching the birds and taking care of them. But we never really saw them as pets. They lived in an outdoor aviary and we had to say goodbye to the birds a lot when they got sold.

I am chronically ill (Crohn's disease) and I'm unable to work. Therefore, I'm home a lot. And I missed a little life in my home. After about six months of thinking, I decided to get a lovebird!
I know the basics of taking care of birds, bit I'm new to taming and playing.
So I'll be asking for tips soon

I added a photo of Mango, hopefully I did it right

Welcome to you both!
This is a great place to learn about food, care, toys, training...
And the Netherlands must be a great place for caring, community-minded parronts. We have a number of members there!
