Question
QUESTION: PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME I HAVE A PEACH FACE LOVEBIRD AND IT LIVES ON ITS OWN. I HAVE JUST FOUND A EGG AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAGE. I HAVE A PAIR OF LOVEBIRD THAT LIVE TOGETHER IN ANOTHER CAGE I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.

ANSWER: Hello,
If this bird lives alone, then the egg is not fertile, meaning, it won't hatch. You can just crack, and throw away eggs that are found in your bird's cage.

Hope this helps,
Carly

QUESTION: HI THANKS FOR ANSWERING ME COULD I HOUSE MY SINGLE LOVEBIRD WITH MY PAIR OF LOVEBIDRS, OR WOULD THAY FIGHT IF SO HOW COULD I INTRUDCE THEM PLEASE HELP MY SINGLE BIRD IS ABOUT 10MONTHS OLD AND THE PAIR ARE ABOUT 8 MONTHS OLD

Answer
Hello,
First, I would put the bird's cages together, your 2 lovebird cages next to the 1 lovebird cage. See what they do. Chances are if you put one of your lovebirds in the cage with the pair, they are going to fight. You would have to buy a new cage for them, since the pair knows its their cage, and will be territorial about it. If all 3 birds are in a separate cage  they have never seen before, then they will not fight over whose cage it is. But I would let them out of the cage in a different room first and see what they do. Or just keep their cages together for a certain time and see what they do. If you notice fighting, then you will have to keep them separate.
