Thanks alot on the feedback. Yes infact i noticed that this lovebird was being really quiet, since it was in a kitchen/living area before and now it's in my little garage where i got the budgies. It only goes mad, and all excited when I enter and exit the garage the rest of the time it was just looking at me lonely.
It did take some interest in the budgies's feet when I let them out almost all of them made it a point to land on the lovebird's cage and have their little feet poked at. But apart from that no interaction what so ever.
I'll have to get him/her a mate soon. But it's gonna be tricky with quarantine. I'm already having trouble keeping the budgies away from the lovebird. (Curious little cheeky buggers)
I do have one question, are they particularly attracted to something, like budgies love millet seeds so taming them using millet is a start. But what about lovebirds. I put some millet, didnt even nibble it. (Joe is some 6-7 years old so I dont have high hopes in taming him, but it's worth a try)

The bigger seeds are for African Greys etc and Lovebirds can't eat it.

yes I noticed, they pic the sunflower seeds off the seed mix first. They have actually started tucking into some millet as well actually. more like when the budgies go for it, they get jealous and they try to show off by going for it than.

Sunflower seeds shouldn't be more than 20 to 30 percent of their daily diet.

A mix of various seeds and vegetables is a good diet
