Frequently Asked Questions...

I came home & found an egg in my lovebirds cage?

They do not have a nesting box, do I put one in there cage? I went on one website that told me to put newspaper & stuff for them to nest with, so I put that in a low tupperware so the egg doesn't roll all over the place. Should I cover the cage? I have 7 other birds(all large parrots)in seperate cages, these little guys are new to me, please help point me in the right direction.

Answer:

It depends on if you want the eggs to hatch or not and if you know anything about hand feeding if the time comes and you need to do it. If you have experience with other baby birds just not lovebirds it's very similar they're just a little different in size than some. It also depends on if you have a known male/female pair or just a random pair, you can have 2 females, or a male and female but not necessarily have fertile eggs. Some couples can be sterile.

Newspaper is horrible to nest with, take it out, the ink and oils in the paper can make the birds sick. If you can go buy a nest box (cockatiel size) and attach it to the cage, you can gently move the eggs there with clean hands. (yes the oils from your hands can harm the eggs, but freshly washed hands will be fine) For nesting material you want something soft to cover the bottom of the cage (I use plain carefresh small animal bedding in a decent layer across the bottom so the eggs and following chicks don't sit on the hard wood bottom- can lead to splay legs and development issues). For other nesting material, plain white, non printed on paper will be fine, the parents will shred it up and take it into the nest box. Some clean straws/grasses can be used too (like timothy hay or other grasses that are packaged for rabbits and other animals to eat)

Make sure the parents are on a very high quality diet and have a cuttle bone and mineral/vitamin block in the cage to replace all the nutrients that go into laying eggs and later feeding chicks.

Once the chicks hatch (roughly 21 days after the start of incubation- they usually don't start incubating until 2-3 eggs have been laid) you can allow the parents to feed them and after about 2 weeks start taking them out periodically to handle and get them used to people. Or if you have experience you can start hand feeding at 2 weeks.

Good luck
