Wink Baby birds-need advice.

I have a pair of peach-faced lovebirds, and I was wondering (if they are actually male & female) if anyone could give me advice on how to look after newborn lovebirds, just incase they breed.
I know that they need to be kept at absoloute top-notch care to actually lay eggs & mate, so the chances of them having babies is very rare, but it would be great if I could get some advice that I can write down and keep for the future just incase. After all, like they say, it's better to be safe than sorry. (If that saying actually applies here )

Re: Baby birds-need advice.

the only way you can tell with lovebirds is dna testing or if you get fertile eggs a mineral block is a must and all my birds love them! then obviously calcium (cuttlefish) and a good quality food! and then fruit and veg i think

Re: Baby birds-need advice.

Put a nest box up, if you get upto 8 eggs they are a pair, more than 8 they are 2 females and 0 they're 2 males.
