Hi i keep my a pair of lovebird in a cage and the size of it is, height 35″ and width 35″ and breth 25″ inches and a nest box of 12 x 12 x 20″ with a partition with 2 difrent hole for entrance, my question is can i add 2 more birds to it? I have a doubt tat d pair i have now are either both male or female and they both try to mate each other turn by turn.
I have two lovebirds. My male lovebird keeps on being mean to the female. Shaire (female) keeps on trying to go get food and Sunny (male) wont let her eat. he will start squawking at her and will peck at her or knock her off, and he will do the whole bow his head down and bring it UP saying that its his spot.
I am getting worried because i didn’t no that they do this.
Also i have a happy hut thing, and the birds wont get in it, how come?
Plus, i have a nesting box and both Sunny and Shaire wont touch it. I don’t know why. should it not be on the ground of the cage? Should i pin it up higher? and what should i put in it?
my lovebird, tiki, was put in a cage with 2 others that i have. the other 2 are siblings. at first they fought, but then one of the 2 mated with Tiki 2 times, and the other one stayed in a tunnel – and wouldn’t come out. the next morning, i separated them again because tiki had some blood on her beak. it has been a few weeks since this happened, and she has laid 3 eggs about 1-2 weeks ago. she is sitting on them in her nest box and she doesn’t have a pair. the problem is, i cant tell the 2 lovebirds apart so i cant just take one out for tiki. could the eggs be fertile? can i put the 3 birds back together? is it bad to have a lovebird alone in a cage, sitting on eggs?
thanks.
I was wondering if it would ne ok to use a cockateil seed mix as a base? This is very readily available in my area. I know that they are small parrots type birds and the fresh fruits and veggies are a must, but I need to know a good seed base food for them.

My lovebird layed 3 eggs. she does not have a mate or a nest box. She is sitting on the eggs with her head on floor of the cage, her wings slightly unfurled and her butt slightly raised. She did not do this the last time she laid eggs. Should I take the eggs out? IS she eggbound?
This is an update on my lovebird nest box. She laid 3 eggs as if Friday. I did not check but pretty shire she laid one more on Sunday. Subscribe for updates. I will post another video as soon as the baby’s hatch. Thanks for watching.
