So background…I inherited 4 lovebirds, 2 bonded and 2 not.. they have never been handled, very nervous and live in nesting boxes inside the aviary.. one male who I call Baldy has a bare chest and under wing/ rear area has no feathers.. he’s always been like that I’m told… anyway he had a “wife” in the first nesting box and a “girlfriend” in the next nesting box haha.. he had a baby with his girlfriend in the middle nesting box And when his wife died he moved in with the girlfriend - they’ve now had the third baby .. they have moved from the middle box to box one - cleared it our completely and refilled with straw etc.. quite fascinating!!
My question is how do you take the nesting boxes away if they’ve always had them? I don’t want more babies and Inbreeding but they are so comfortable in there and when I peek in they look so cute cuddled up in the boxes.
I have a smalll aviary it’s about 1200 x 600 so looking for something a little bigger - then can put more branches, tree, foliage?
They’ve also only ever had seed no pellets.. they do love their veg and grass though so that’s something
Thank you for reading!
