Lovebird Breeding Guidelines
The best breeding age of the lovebirds is from 1 to 2 years. Only one clutch a year should be bred to prevent the hen from getting malnutrition. It is important to make sure the bird has a nutritious diet to keep it healthy and increase breeding success. As long as your birds have been properly cared for, they should be healthy enough to breed when mature. Before breeding, consider costs of feeding and housing new chicks, if breeding more than one pair, if there is space available, and the environment needed for successful hatching and fledging. The female lovebird will lay her first egg ten days after mating and then brood after the second is laid. Lovebirds need a nest box to lay their eggs. Breeding-age hens should be on a calcium supplement to replace lost nutrients during egg-laying. Lovebirds experience deep sadness when they lose their partner. Help a grieving lovebird by giving it attention, new toys, and treats.
Supporting Lovebirds Through Grief
Lovebirds will not die if they’re separated, but they do experience deep sadness when they lose their partner. Help your lovebird cope with grief by giving it time and attention and providing new toys and treats.
