*Admin to Maree    Some explanation you can search in `breeding lovebirds/breeding basics/infertile eggs` of this site 

*Maree to admin    There is only ever 3 or 4 eggs at a time 

*Admin to Maree    How many eggs they lay every clutch. It must be max 5pcs. The number of egg they produce can shows us they are `right` pairs  

*Admin to Amy    She performs strange behavior as a change of her surroundings, or it`s her time to lay egg. You can put a nest in her bed to see what is going on next 

*Admin to Mary    Covering cage at night issue, please search it in general care category via sitemap 

*Admin to Mary    Keeping a lovebird in a rounded cage is no problem at all 

*Maree    I have just removed the fourth clutch of infertile eggs from my so called pair of fischer lovebirds can anyone help as to why this is happening. I am pretty sure that they are a pair!! 

*Amy    We have had our lovebird for about two years now
this last week "she" has started strange behavior.. Hiding in her bed and raising her wings why is this? 

*mary    Should i cover the cage during night? 

*mary    i have kept my love birds in a rounded cage..will that affect my birds?im a new owner 

*Admin    This site is newly equipped with a tool of translation into 35 languages. The tool is at the top right column 

*Admin    Hi Roy, thank you for joining us. I think I have to spare some space of this site for a forum discussion about lovebirds. How do you think? 

*Roy    Hi, I think the point is making food not fully occupying the bowl, say 20% depends also how big the bowl. It must be completed with vegetables, etc. 

*gest    thank you... so just decrease the amount of food, right? how much food should male lovebird get for the day? thank you 

*Admin    Some pairs in breeding cage do that, but, not all.  

*Guest    I see thank you. I thouth its something to do with the fact that he is byhimself and wants a girlfriend. When he does that it looks like he tried to feed the baby bird.
How common is that? 

*Admin    To reduce quantity of food in the bowl good enough for a day eating, & it should be replaced daily to avoid bacterial growth. Give & set varied diet made up of seed mix, vegetables, pellet, grains 

*Audra    I`ve been searching for a good reliable Lovebird site...I`ve found it :]

Behavior and Training of Lovebirds
lovebird behavior, how to train lovebirdsThe high intelligence of these lovebirds means that they can often figure out how to manipulate their owners. The main response they are working for is attention, plain and simple. Even after you have established dominance, you must continue to maintain the pecking order with verbal and visual cues. Many lovebirds will learn ways to manipulate their owners. Some common tricks are to slam the cage door up and down, call incesently, or run back and forth along the front of the cage in a manner that seems desperate. The goal of all these behaviors is to get your attention. If you give the lovebird either positive or negative attention in response to these behaviors, you will reinforce the behavior.

The Step-up Command PDF Print
Behavior and Training of Lovebirds
The most essential trick to train your lovebird is to step up on command. You can say, "Step-up" or "Up up," but use the same command consistently whenever you pick up your lovebird. The step-up command must be used on every occasion you pick up your lovebird, without exception. By following this simple rule, you set the groundwork for long-term, positive interaction with your lovebird.

The step-up command is particularly important when removing your lovebird from its cage. Allowing a bird just to climb out of the cage territoriality issues in the future. The best method of removal is to put your finger against the chest of your lovebird and gently press while giving the up command. Always make strong eye contact with your lovebird whenever you give this or any other verbal instruction.
