I am having a similar problem with my female lovebird. She is 3 years old and started laying eggs soon after I brought her home which was about two years ago. She was laying eggs on a monthly basis. She recently stopped laying eggs. I don't know if it's because the tent that she and her companion sleep in does not have anything in it anymore to keep the eggs from rolling out. I used to keep a wash cloth in the tent for something soft until my male lovebird got his foot caught in the threads from the cloth back in February. (That's another story.) Her eggs have never hatched I'm assuming because he is much older, 14 at least. She has become increasing territorial over time and lately has been biting me when I try to give them food and water. When she sees me fixing food she sits right in front of the place where the food goes in the cage and waits for me to put the bowl in, ready to attack. It is almost impossible to clean the cage too, except for changing paper in the bottom of the cage. I would like to rearrange things in the cage, like you suggested K, but it would be a nightmare. I have put up with the biting, but in the last week she has been bullying my other bird. I always give him apple, spinach or some kind of healthy food everyday. Now when I do that she sits, for example, by the apple piece for 15 minutes or more so that he cannot get to it. He usually goes right to the those foods because he loves them. She never eats them however. I put the foods in different parts of the cage and when she sees him try to eat something she goes straight for him and blocks him from eating it. The same way with toys. They both like shredder toys. If she sees he has a piece of one she will steal it from him very aggressively and almost cause him to fall. He is not real steady on his feet anymore. Then at bedtime, she screams (she has always done this.) However, in the past days or maybe a week now, she will jump in the tent with her companion and fight with him at bedtime. Not for long, thank goodness. I am hoping that this is just a phase that she is going through. I have never had a lovebird (and I have had 10 others) that have ever behaved this way. I really do not want to separate my lovies. Most of the time (and all of the time before) they get along well and really seem to love one another. I just don't know what has happened lately. I am trying to let them sleep longer like you have suggested, but not seeing any improvement. I wish there was some supplement that we could give our lovies to calm them down. I have heard of AviCalm that is supposed to calm birds. Has anyone ever tried that with their birds? I have considered taking her to the vet to see if there might be something they could do for her, but I cannot catch her. I tried to put her in a smaller cage so that I could clean the other one, but it was useless. I only tried a few times because I did not want to make matters worse or upset my other bird. I just hope this is only temporary. It used to be a joy having lovebirds, but not so much lately. Let us know Ali if you find anything that helps. Hope your lovie, Olive, settles down for you soon.
