Hi everyone! So, i bought a breeding pair of Lovebirds from a bird breeder about 3 years ago (they were babies when i got them). They live in a big cage/aviary that my Dad built when i was little, with built in boxes for them to have nests in. And since releasing my Lorikeet into the wild a couple of days ago, I really want another bird to raise and look after So i'm trying to breed my Lovebirds!
I take extra special care of them - give them new grass every morning, feed them a variety of different seeds, always keeping them clean, healthy & happy
At the moment, their nesting box is over flowing with grass and leaves. I'll post a pic later on. Its crazy
It's been about a week since i saw them mate, and usually when i go outside they are flying around and eating. But all morning, the female has been in her nesting box and the male has been sitting on the perch outside of it like he's guarding it. Does this mean that the female has laid an egg? I don't really want to open the box and check, because it might disturb them. And i read that the egg hatches about 20 or so days after it's been laid. SO, all i'm asking is if anyone has any tips on successfully breeding them, and if you think that an egg might of been laid already? Any tips on Lovebird breeding would help me out a lot! Thank you
