How long do love birds nest their eggs before they hatch?
/www.parrotparrot.com/lovebird There are two ways to breed lovebirds: in large aviary groups or by individual pairs in separate breeding cages. Because I want to carefully control the color mutations in my lovebirds I use the latter method. Besides, it is much easier to “keep the peace” among lovebirds when they have separate cages. You can remove pairs from flight cages at breeding time and place them in smaller cages more suitable for breeding. Obviously, the bigger the cage the better. The birds should be able to “beat their wings” without hitting something every time. They should be able to climb and play for exercise. If you don’t have enough room for this, you’re probably not in a position to breed birds at this time. Many people think that supplying toys and the like will distract birds from mating. I don’t find this to be true, and birds with a varied environment are happier and hence more likely to make good parents. Don’t forget: lovebirds are very playful, clownish creatures
