Question
I know that Love Birds will sometimes raise other Love Birds discarded babies, but what about hatching another Love Birds eggs?  
Thanks!

Answer
First of all, are you sure the eggs are fertile? And also, some species of birds may occasionally raise other parents' young, but like all animals, it is highly unlikely. It is also possible for any bird to hatch anothers' eggs, but once again, might be unlikely. This will only work if the lovebird in question already has a clutch. You can try sneaking them in unnoticed, but I am unsure what the results will be. The best solution would be to incubate the orphaned eggs, otherwise you risk losing them all together.
