Question
Unfortunately, my pet cockatiel Kiwi has passed on but now I have two lovebirds who I am training to be hand tame. One is almost comepletely hand tame (just have to work on him not running from my hand) and the other bites.
I was wondering, how many lovebirds I can have in my cage (18inx19.5in)

Answer
ve had one lovebird in my life he was bought from a repitable breeder and was handfed frrom any early age....so was already tmae and trusting wehn brought home. The clear awnser is TWO, that cage is really only suited for one lovebird thats how big my lovebirds cage is, i'll attach a care link that states the cage requirments.
