i want to breed african lovebirds can you help me please
OMG, this is going to be so long. I'm sorry. I can't think of any of it to delete!
What do you need to know? First, make sure that there's a market in your area. You can call the local animal shelters and your nearest parrot rescue to see how many come through their doors a year. I'll put a link at the bottom of this post so you can find yours. If there isn't a market, your lovebird babies will probably end up neglected or homeless, and a homeless lovebird stands an extremely slim chance of making it.
Lovebirds are prolific, meaning that they need lots of egg food and calcium supplement to lay the number of eggs that they tend to at a time. You can order egg food and other breeding materials through Drs. Foster and Smith online.
They require an extremely humid nesting environment, and many people use a sterilized, modified milk jug and peat moss bedding to foster a "rainforest" effect. If you don't feel comfortable making one, it's understandable, and a wooden box can work just fine as long as you mist the egg area with warm water regularly. Just don't upset Mom or Dad! Without proper humidity there will probably be hatching difficulties, lost toes, and skin infections, all of which invariably end in either long-term defects or death.
Gradually increasing the birds' exposure to light from 11 hours a day to 13 will produce the illusion of dawning springtime. During the other hours of the day, provide the birds with a totally dark and motionless room, lit with a soft nightlight.
