Would be fine for a smaller clutch. If you will pull the chicks at 4 weeks old, you can use the 8x8x8 with no issues.
If you are going to allow full clutches to be parent raised, try to get one a smidge wider, 10 inches length (with 8 height and depth) would be better.

I am not aware of any other members who currently post who breed any of the lovebird species.

Sounds good. Be sure to place it externally for easy access (for you).
A good 3 inches of bedding (aspen shavings) is ideal.
