I can just imagine that that would be difficult. It was difficult enough
trying to eat with him pecking at my earring and my pizza, not to mention
trying to stitch with him eating my 'seeds'.

Lovebirds and parrotlets are different creatures. Lovebirds are African,
while parrotlets are south and central American. They do look very similar
and have many of the same characteristics though.

Several years ago I had one of these - normally called a lovebird here.
He loved to sit on the end of a needle while I was knitting. Knitting
with a bird on one needle is not the easiest thing to do.

Last week, we bought a pet parrotlet (think miniature parrot) and he has
finally become comfortable enough around us to climb on us and fly around
us. Except, I can't figure out if he loves or hates needlework! He
thinks gold French knots are seeds and tries to eat them and chews on the
background fabric!! He's really cute though... Here are some pics:
