I have 2 lovebirds, I’m not sure of the sexes?
I have a green one and it likes humping the blue one alot, so the green one is probably the male. However, I heard that female birds lay eggs even when they’re not fertile. I don’t have a nest box available for my birds, so is that why she doesn’t lay unfertile eggs? And they copulate ALOT, like about 3 times a day for the past 2 weeks, and once in a while on regular times, year-round. How often does a bird lay fertile/unfertile eggs? I’ve had mine for 5 years, and I’v only ONCE found somethign that looked like smashed egg shells covered in poop on the cage floor.

Can I have two male and Female parakeets in the same cage?
My question is that i want to have 2 male parakeets and two female parakeets in the same cage. Though i want them to mate and have a nesting box in the cage. Due to 2 male and female birds would that interrupt mating between any of them with limited nesting area
My lovebirds just started to build a nest in hanging fleece hut.?
Is nest building normal? or does it always mean eggs are soon to follow? I have 2 lovebirds, not sure of sex- one definitely female who is the nest builder. I have no desire to breed these birds-what are your suggestions? Let them lay eggs, continue with building the nest and if eggs come – remove them? or, Disrupt behavior, take down fleece hut and separate birds? Do female birds always build nests, even without a male partner? The female is constantly in the fleece hut and the other one is hanging outside the hut, occasionally making a visit. What do these behaviors indicate? The only reason I can see why the behavior changed with the birds is I recently put palm shredder pieces into the cage- no nesting box- no paper towels, nothing different other than the shredders. Would this trigger mating behavior? Or coincidental? It is winter here in Philly, do they breed all year round- I thought spring was the season. Thanks for your help.
