Nursery

I do not consider myself a breeder. I have two lovebirds and sometimes I let them have a nest, when their hormones are lifting the roof of the house. That usually happens once or twice a year. No matter how hormonal they are, I do not let hem have a nest more often - they need recovery time, regardless if they realise that themselves or not.

My lovebird male Juju has been tested and is negative for PBFD, polyoma and chlamydia. Didi has not been tested, because she joined the family later. We will test Didi sometime soon, but she is a healthy female bird who already raised several clutches without any symptoms (usually the babies will not survive or show some signs of disease). Our birds do not have any contact with other non-tested birds.

Before the babies go to their new homes, they are tame, exploring, curious and naughty lovebirds - the way they are supposed to be. They know how to step up, beg for a sunflower seed and make you chase them around the room. I am a co-mama natural - I consciously chose not to handfeed the babies. Here is why.

I was intending to become the member of the AACC and get leg bands for my birds and their babies, but the first clutch came earlier than my registration - so no leg bands for babies of 2015.

You are always welcome to come over and see how the birds are doing before you come over to pick up a baby bird.

If you are considering an adoption, please read here about what I consider a good lovebird home, before contacting me.

Here are my clutches:
