A gift from my wife

I was trying to get a close up but didn't succeed because they are to shy as soon as I enter the aviary they ran into the nest box

I know you know better than me what they are

Oh Chirper, they're so pretty!!!!! I have to admit, a tiny little squeal came out when I saw them. I love them! Have you picked out names for them yet?

 

[aluz]

I sure do, a beautiful pair of fischer's lovebirds, quite possibly lutinos if their eyes are red! Congratulations on your latest arrivals! arty:
Since they are new, it would be best to let them settle in and also get more acquainted with the species before adding the nest box into the cage. It's also not recommended to breed from two Inos or dark eyed clears. I have one of the latter and on my research found out these pairings aren't suitable and pastel/inos can also be troublesome when breeding with either full Inos or other pastels or dark eyed clears/Ino.
There is a much steeper learning curve when it comes lovebird keeping/breeding when compared to budgies.

Thank you

No names yet they are identical couldn't figure out how to differentiate between them so helpless right now :S

Maybe getting them some different colored leg bands? Maybe even with your info on them in case they ever get lost or stolen.......and no, I'm not thinking of birdknapping them....................................yet, :spy:

Thank you Aluz

I totally agree with you that's why they are kept in separate cage

This is already a bonded and breeding pair

Out of coconut husk, paper and straws they choose straws to make the nest

The amazing things I observe that they pick a straw dip it in the water and chew that wet straw before taking it to the nest box to make the nest

At least now I know where to find them in case …

 

[jean20057]

I wouldn't make it THAT easy to find them....lol. Maybe a secret bunker under my house! Or at an undisclosed location in an undisclosed country.....hahahaha We shall see.....but I suppose for now they can stay under your care, as good as it is!

Thanks

The plan is to work on at least one baby to have a bonded one like Aluz or Deborah if I get any

Oh wow!
Your new lovebirds are gorgeous! :wow:
I'm looking forward to hearing all about them and hopefully seeing more pictures when they are all settled in.

Thank you Deborah I will

 

[jean20057]

Sounds like a great plan! And I think we may have a new birdie knapper in our midst!

I am hoping that new birdie knapper will be kind enough to left one for me

 

[jean20057]

I hope so too! Really though, your two new love birds are beautiful!

Wow...really beautiful bird's....:loveeyes:
Congrat's, that is a fine gift, and very special to have your wife get them for you..

 

[RavensGryf]

They're really beautiful Chirper . Was she able to keep it a complete surprise? You know, because of the noise give away lol! Or did she tell you first and then went to pick them up? Looking forward to hearing all about them as time goes by and they settle in.

ps.. I'd have trouble too, with identical animals, unless there were distinguishing features that stood out! Or you just have to find a little something and look at them up close before saying their name lol!
