Hi all,
I am new to this forum and I am wondering if anyone has personal experience with keeping more than 1 pair of lovebirds in a cage. I have had one male + female pair of peach-faced lovebirds for about 7 years. I would really love for them to be able to have more lovebird friends- but I am hesitant to get another pair for a couple reasons. Their cage is about as big as I could find with small bar spacing aside from an indoor aviary, but is it big enough for 2 pairs? Also, the female gets Lupron monthly for chronic reproductive disease. Would I need to be sure to get 2 female as to not further stimulate her more? And lastly, is there any concern of new birds coming in and breaking up my bonded pair? They are very bonded, but my worst fear would be to say introduce 2 new females and have my male decide he likes one of them better.
I have attached a pic of their cage for reference. It is a cage which can be divided into 2, but I don't wish to permanently cut their living space in half in order to house 2 pairs
I will be consulting an avian vet, but I would also love personal stories. Thanks for any advice
