Hi other than palm leave can i give hay or what u cal that frm rice crop? I tried with shereded papers but this birds take em al out of the nest and dirty the whole room and empty the nest box. Can i give the coconut hair? Or wot other house hold thngs could be used?
when you put a male and female with a nesting box and some palm how long does it take for them to breed and do they make the box first or do they do it after they breed or during?
do they make the nest while there breeding or after or during
sorry i wasn’t clear enough. i found a newly hatched baby bird but we live in guam and there are no aspca or anything like that ,that would help me with it. and it fell from a 20 foot palm tree so i cant put it back. does anyone know how to care for the bird or what and how to feed it. thanks :0)
we live in guam because my husband is in the military. so i am not familiar with the birds here. i dont know if i should try to feed it or what to do. i put it on some paper towels in a box and left it outside (cause i have 3 dogs inside) and its hot outside all year round and air conditioned in the house. let me know what you think. also i didnt touch it with my hands to make sure my scent was not on it
i have a huge palm tree in my back yard and i think there is a nest up there with a hole or somthin, cuz 2 baby birds, possibly a day or two old just fell outta the tree, i put them in a shoe box but i dun no wat to do. im not gonna call animal control or anything like that. so what should i do? please hurry before it gets too dark!!
this videos shows how I will set up my LoveBird nest Box. Hope it helps any questions dont be afraid to ask.

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.
