Will lovebirds breed in a avairy 10 points?

Question

i have 6 lovebirds do i have to seperate them.

Answer 1

Do you know the s*x of the birds? In theory, they could breed if proper age & health. You could try to prevent breeding by not allowing them to build a nest, or just simply remove any eggs that appear. I'm not sure if lovebirds will fall for the "dummy egg" trick, but you can look at breeder sites for more info on that.  

Answer 2

If they do not fight in the same aviary I'd say yes if boxes are put up. Also for 2 pair of birds, you will want about 6 boxes in there for them. More boxes then birds lessens the chances of the birds fighting over boxes when there are more boxes then birds in the aviary.  

Answer 3

Hi Gav just put your birds into the aviary if they are to-gether at present.

(an Aviary is better than cages,it gives them more room to exercise.)

But make sure that you put them into the aviary at the same time so as the dominant pair do not get aggressive to the others,never put more into the aviary after you have put the initial flock in.

As this can cause upset amongst the established flock and they will attack any newcomers.

You do not need to  separate them unless they are different species.

Remember if they are all to-gether you need 1 more nest box than you have pairs.(3 pairs 4 nest boxes)

Answer 4

ok you can put them all in a big avairy not to big lol and just put seperate nests in there and they will mate up with who they want birds like alot of otheres around it is a securty for them good luck  

Answer 5

If they're all pretty well paired up, and they have a large enough aviary with proper nesting boxes, and materials in the boxes, they can nest. If you have birds that aren't paired up, or if you have more of one s*x than the other (if you haven't had them tested, you can't know for sure) you can have issues with breeding. Some birds might get jealous and try to harm anothers nest. Sometimes one bird that's not paired up will just bother the heck out of another pair and stop any breeding from happening.

If you're breeding for any specific color or actually want to know the genetics of the resulting chicks, you won't be able to tell in a large aviary breeding setting. Just because some birds are paired up, doesn't mean there's not another birds genetics in some of the eggs. Lovebirds are pretty good about keeping one mate, but they're not perfect.

If you're just wanting them to breed, just to breed, it's possible.
