Question
hi,
i have 2 pairs of love birds which i bought from market a month ago. they were dna tested. i have kept them in a cage size of 1.5 ft high 3.5 ft long and 2 ft deep . my question is that there are no sign of breeding is it because these cages are on each other and in a little portion of this cage the upper pair can see the lower pair.
waiting for reply

Answer
Hi

You do not say which species of lovebird you have purchased.

Assuming they are of one of the common species, I believe you are expecting too much, too soon. Lovebirds take time to accustomise to new surroundings, cages etc.  

They also need to form their bond and build a nest.

Supply nesting material and when they start using that, breeding is not far away.
