Answer
Hi, Sophia,

I don't know why...you'll need to provide more details about the setup so I can try to determine what the problem might be.  Are they pair-bonded, i.e., does the male feed the female beak-to-beak?  If not, they aren't ready to breed.  Have you put any type of substrate in the nesting box?  If so, remove it and place nesting materials in the cage and allow the birds to make their own nest inside the nesting box.  Are the birds too young?  Lovies need to be about 24 months old before allowing to breed for the first time.  Are you sure you have a male/female pair?  Lovies need to be DNA sexed.
