Being the start of spring, the Lovebirds have all decided to nest at once.
Freya and Loki are back on eggs. They have at least 2 now, and I am hoping for at least one normal green and one green pied, though the chances of that are rather slim.
Isis and Osiris are either on one egg or still trying to lay it. Unfortunately, the last clutch from Isis and Osiris did not hatch so I am hoping this clutch makes it. They have such beautiful babies!
My new girl Rowan has taken it upon herself to lay eggs as well, which was a concern of mine being she is so young. Now that she has laid eggs, I am not going to be able to prevent her from laying more this time, but so far she seems to be doing it well. Her mate Fletcher is taking great care of her, feeding her, protecting their cage, and just being a great father-to-be. After this clutch, they will be resting for at least 4 months so she doesn’t get stressed out or malnourished.
Seible and his girl Yin are on 4 eggs, though only one looks fertile and I don’t know if it will hatch. It seems to have stopped developing, which would be common for a young male and first time female. Seible is still young, though Yin is at least 3 now.
With this boom in babies (maybe), I may be lowering my prices for this spring season. I hope to not always have this many birds nesting at a time, though they do tend to like to nest all at the same time. If this keeps up, I may lower my prices indefinitely on Lovebirds, but this is just a guess, maybe a little too early to even think about. I could potentially have 12 babies this spring, but we will come to that when we do.
I still have one baby waiting for her new home, my little Seagreen American Cinnamon Pied Violet female. She is such a sweetie. She flies to me for snuggles and to sleep in my shirt. She also loves to give kisses and would make a great first Lovebird for any family/person. I have lowered her price until March 9th to $70 with free delivery (within reason) from $80 plus delivery fee. If you are interested in her, please email me. brimonster111@barefootaviary.com
