    Help,

    My single, handraised, handfed lovebird is sitting on the bottom of the cage and only goes out to chew on the wood wall taking the splinters back
    to her(?) cage to continue building what looks like a nest . If she is
    about to lay eggs; how do we deal with this. She has not been bred. If we try to remove any eggs secretively will it cause our bird to become
    "mean". Can a lovebird even lay eggs without having mated. We are new to
    all of this; we love our bird; and we don’t want to turn it "mean" on us. We don’t want to mate it because we have heard that usually they then so concentrate on each other, that you lose them as pets. Also, we have never had the bird sexed; and we are afraid that if we add anew bird to the cage they may kill each other. I know I am asking a lot of questions---but
    then, these little creatures are very new to us and unlike many of the
    other birds we have had in the past. Could someone please help us.

    If lovebird is giving eggs take a bowl and keep soft cloth for the eggs and she will feel hot and lay the eggs.
