*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 :]

FLEDGING
Young lovebirds leave the nest at 6 weeks of age. By then the female has often started a second brood, but the male continues to feed the young until they are completely independent.

Well before the beginning of the breeding season, supply the special feed that parents like to offer their young, such as sprouted and soaked seed, spray millet, half-ripe grass seeds, small insects, commercial supplements, and egg feed. When lovebirds leave the nest, the male will teach the young to eat regular feed, but supply the special feed until the young are completely independent, which takes about 2 weeks more.

Once the young are independent, provide a separate run or roomy cage if possible, and furnish the normal seed mix, grit, water, and some of the special feed on which they were raised. They will go through their first molt at 3 to 4 months of age, a process that takes about 2 months. During that time, they are quite sensitive to cold and moisture, so the best place to keep them is in an indoor run.
