African lovebirds breeding cages and nest box.

Lovebirds breeding cages and next boxes.

For breeding African lovebirds, it's important to provide them with a spacious and appropriately sized cage or aviary. While there is no fixed standard size, a general guideline is to provide a breeding cage that is at least 24 inches (60 cm) wide, 24 inches (60 cm) deep, and 24 inches (60 cm) high.

This size allows the lovebirds to have enough room for flying, playing, and building nests. It's important to ensure that the cage has horizontal bars or wire mesh to allow the birds to climb and exercise. Additionally, providing perches and branches of different sizes and textures inside the cage adds to their enrichment.

Keep in mind that breeding pairs of lovebirds will require a separate breeding nest box placed inside the cage. The nest box should be appropriately sized for the species you are breeding, with a small entrance hole and enough space for the birds to comfortably build their nest and raise their chicks.

Remember, the larger the cage or aviary, the better it is for the well-being of the birds. If you have the space and resources, providing a larger flight aviary for your lovebirds will allow them to exhibit more natural behaviors and enhance their overall welfare
