ANSWER: I'm not an expert on lovebirds. There are experts in the pool that are.

But I think this a general question so I can answer it also.
Offer the birds nesting material. Let them pick what they need. They will build a nest them self. You have only offer them a nesting box in the right size and material.

Experiment in the place and sort of nesting material and you will become an expert in nesting of lovebirds yourself.

The birds know the answer on your question. Reading books about behavior of wild lovebirds will help also.

I hope that is helpful if not please ask a lovebird expert the same question.

I hope your answer is in this quote

"NESTING MATERIALS

Humidity is very important for the successful hatching of lovebird eggs. In Southern California, where it can be extremely dry, many lovebird breeders supply wetted palm fronds as nesting material. Lovebirds adore this! They will shred the long fronds and stuff them under their wings until they look like little pin cushions. They then take them into the nestbox and proceed to build their nests. I also use shredded, unscented, plain white paper towels, eucalyptus occasionally, and dried grasses. Lovebirds will use their own lost feathers for the nest too. I continue to supply nesting material even after the eggs are laid, as this keeps the nest fresher and keeps up the appropriate humidity level (the wetted fronds do this). You can also get nesting material at pet supply stores, but you really don't need to spend money on these. Just remember: don't give leaves of any poisonous plants or plants that have been treated with insecticides! I control this by only using palm trees in my yard. If you don't live in a southern clime this could be difficult, but you can investigate an appropriate, nonpoisonous substitute in your geographical area."

This a from a breeder that breeds outside in Southern California. He is an expert and I only should repeat his words, but I get from this story that you should keep the lost feathers collect them and offer them als nesting material also dried grasses and standard nesting material for parrots or others birds from the petstore.

Let them play with it. Handfeed the materials, place them on unusual places or at a fixed place the bird looks for those materials. I think you know what kind of character your lovebirds have.
