There are 11 nest boxes lined up across the back of the aviary for the 14 lovebirds.

Below::    Debbie holding 6 baby lovebirds, all hatched around January 2000

Above: Cuddles taking a drink. He was the 1st baby lovebird I ever handfed

We bought the green-yellow pied (pied = blotched colors) lovebird (above), from a friend last Spring because none of our birds had ever hatched out any yellow babies!

They grow fast!

This is what they look like at 3 days old and very close to the actual size! This is the same chick at 8 days old.

Below:    an Olive green baby at 3-4 weeks old, are just showing color at this age

Above: We sold this pair of lovebirds to some friends last Fall and this Spring, they hatched out the 3 birds below:

ABOVE: We raised these 2 a few years ago. They are 5-6 weeks old here  and are dutch blue colored. One has blue feathers with blue-green wings and the other one is a greenish-blue with blue-green wings, now that they are fully grown. (I refer to them as TEAL colored, which is one of my favorite colors :-)

This yellow bird is not a lutino because it has blue rump feathers More photo's of my birds soon!

~NEWS~ We have 1 yellow (lutino) baby bird! It hatched the first week of August 2007. I think it will be completely yellow! It's been several years since we had a Lutino baby hatched from our birds.

More info on lovebirds here

VIOLET: Shown at the left lifting the lid to her nestbox wanting me to look inside for eggs! She is a green-violet pied. Her rump feathers are actually dark purple. Her belly and legs are pale lavendar, with some pale green feathers, which makes her a pied.

Peaches: Looks like the bird shown at the left. I think this bird was molting.
