What I do is to hand feed the babies and when they want formula they have to step up (at 5 weeks or so). If your getting lovebirds from pet stores however, here are some pointers.

Try to move to the cage once in a while. Try speaking to it. Once it seems to be calm and relaxed with your presence, open the cage door and put your hand in. The lovebird, like many birds, will freak out and flap it's wings about or just move away to a different spot in the perch. Keep your hand very still. Once it seems to be calm about your hand, move your hand towards it closer and closer until your almost 3 inches away from the bird itself. Congrats! It's used to your hand! The next part would be to make it step up, which you basically do the same thing just with a perch. You would need to slowly expose your finger to the perch and eventually the lovebird will step on your finger.

Do NOT grab it, towel or not. This will frighten the bird and will proabably get away from you as soon as your near it.

Do NOT make obnoxious sounds or be too jittery. Having a pet bird may be exciting, but you must understand that this bird has just appeared in someone's house and is caged up. Do not startle it.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.
