As their name would suggest, lovebirds love to look good. Apparently, one of the ways they do this is by dressing up a bit. And when you've got lots of material just sitting there, why not use it?
Lovebirds often use strips of newspaper to supplement their plumage.
It's simple: Just shred ...
... And pin.
Selection is key:
Only the best materials will do.
Quality is paramount.
And quantity doesn't hurt, either.
... Voilà!
It's worth noting that birds aren't the only animals to exhibit behavior like this -- last week, research revealed that chimpanzees are sticking blades of grass in their ears, for understood reason.
