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

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

Thank you AluzI sure do, a beautiful pair of fischer's lovebirds, quite possibly lutinos if their eyes are red!
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.
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 …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,
Thanks
The plan is to work on at least one baby to have a bonded one like Aluz or Deborah if I get any
I am hoping that new birdie knapper will be kind enough to left one for me
Thank you Randy off course very specialWow...really beautiful bird's....:loveeyes:
Congrat's, that is a fine gift, and very special to have your wife get them for you..
Thank you JulieThey're really beautiful Chirper
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!
No that was not a surprise we both went to a reputed breeder and she choose that pair
Thank you so muchThey are little stunners! Your wife has great bird taste!
Thank you Lyn she is not only caring but witty too after selecting the pair and saw them preening she look at me and said and do learn from them
Thank you NiamhfThey are gorgeous
They look so cut when they peep through the hole to see I am still around
Thank you DeeThey are beautiful! Lovely gift
Thank you NickOh my, Is that Twin Peachies I see? Congrats on such a lovely Xmas present and looking forward to see more photos soon. Gimme gimme gimme!:clap::2thumbs:
They act like twins they eat together, they sit together and they even ran together as soon as they see me
Thank you StarChriper, congratulations! They are absolutely gorgeous and I must say, I'm a bit jealous
I can't wait to hear all about them and see lots of pictures
I will
Yes Aluz is right they are Fischer lovebirdsThey are lutinos for sure but I think they are Fischer's Lovebirds rather than Peachface Lovebirds.
I can't see their eyes well enough in the picture to tell for sure so we'd have to check with Chirper for a definitive answer on that one.
Oh, I just saw in aluz's post she said they are Fishers. I guess she was able to see the picture better than I can.
I'm really sorry couldn't post the update never had such a shy birds before

Finally I am able to post some update
After seeing lots of straws in the nest box I thought the nest building task is completed but that was not final they separate every fibre of straw and made a very soft/fluffy concave for eggs and finally eggs :happy4:
See how the straws were before finalization

Final shape & eggs
