Caging 4 males together

[Phocyn]

I have a 2'6" x 2'6" x 4" cage I want to put four Male lovebirds in so I can free up two cages for two females. Is the dimensions I mentioned too small?

If you know that the four of them are friendly with one another, it'd possibly be okay to house them together, but I'd go for nothing smaller than a flight cage.

But @Zara knows a lot more about lovebirds than I do.

I want to put four Male lovebirds in

I personally wouldn´t. Lovebirds are best as pairs. M M is ok, but only two.

2'6" x 2'6" x 4" cage

I´m assuming you mean 26 x 26 x 40 inches.
It´s a good size cage... but one fight could lead to a death. I don´t feel it is worth the risk. They would be ok in a large aviary all together though.

For context, I have my Blue Team; mum, dad, son and daughter. The parents cage is 30x18x36 inches. The little ones come out of their cage in the morning and go straight to their parents cage to greet them. I let them out and the flock fly together. After an hour or so, they (all 4 of them) return to the parents cage to play. But the doors are open and I am right here watching them.
They get on so well. But I would never house them together. And mine are two bonded M F pairs.

@Zara I think that cage is 2ft+6in x 2ft+6in x 4in or 30in x 30in x 4in

I'm a bit confused by the 4 inch part, is that a typo @Phocyn ? If it isn't, it would be an unreasonably small width for a cage.

30 X 30 X 4 feet?

30 X 30 X 4 feet?

Maybe

One cage is one territory no matter the size. Any more than 2 birds in a cage is a risk for that reason alone.

 

[Phocyn]

Sorry about the inch marks on the 4. I meant feet.... I was thinking of using a divider for the birds, but it cuts the space down too much. I would need at least an inch for a tray and bottom grill, etc. I'll be looking for a larger divider cage instead.

Something like this would be ok, 2 birds in each side - ONLY if the two males are bonded. Otherwise they will need their own cage. Lovebirds should be housed in bonded pairs or alone. (They can still share out of cage time if you can look after them all)
