Question
my lovebird and parakeet live in the same cage, and now my lovebird is laying eggs, she has two of them, i don't think they will hatch, am i right? is she going to be ok with laying these eggs.

Answer
Nope they cant hatch hen birds always lay eggs in my experiance, laying can lower th bodys calcium and keeping a cuttle bone hadny to her will help also she may becomer rather nasty towards yuo or the budgie during this time if she is trying to protect her eggs...if you notice any crackiness towards the budgie do remove him as he'd likely be badly bitten, best of luck.
