The Best Size Cage for a Lovebird

What is a good cage size for a lovie to be in? I think Peanut's cage is 18"x30"24" or something. I can't remember off hand, if I'm wrong I'll update it when I get home. I would recommend nothing smaller. They are small birds, but very active. She uses every square inch of that cage, as well as her "play stand" which consists of my bird proofed large computer desk, with a play gym and array of bird toys arranged around my PC. You probably know, but bar spacing is important too, since they can get their little heads through some narrow spaces. I think I've heard no more than 1/2"? I've seen some of the others on this forum recommend some amazing flight cages, I can't remember which I've seen posted a lot, but I hope someone provides a link. They are really great.

Caring for Lovebirds

One of my lovies didn't want anything to do with people when I first got her. She would fly around and explore like no other! Typically I would wait for her to settle down - she likes to nap in the curtains and such. If I found her relaxed in a small space like that, I'd quickly (and of course gently) scoop her up and show her back to her cage. We've gotten to the place now where I can usually call her back to her cage, but every now and then I have to find her, usually in the curtains, and put her back myself. So far that's worked for me. This was in a single room though, maybe between two rooms every now and then - might not have went as well if she wanted to fly through the whole house at first!

Lovebird Teather and Harness

A few months ago I wrote with a concern I had about the petite Aviator Flight Harness - I found the elastic that's meant to soften any mid-flight halts to be too strong, as had taken off unexpectedly and ended up being flung backward when she reached the end of her line. When they wrote back, they detailed some changes they had made since I'd gotten my model years ago. They also mentioned they had smaller birds on the harness, which I thought was interesting. Maybe they're working on a size for smaller birds? I hope so, because I've been wanting to try a harness for Anica for a long while.

Separating Breeding Lovebirds

One thing with lovebirds is you never assume anything, two hens will act like a pair even to the point of mating, I would suggest you have them sexed, either by someone who is an experienced breeder or have them surgically sexed by DNA or an avian vet. The fact they have built a nest means nothing, two hens will also do this and they will even lay eggs and sit on them just for the hell of it ;D, so the first thing is for you to do is determine what sex they actually are then take it from there. The DNA came back as a PAIR, so hopefully they will breed soon. It's funny but one is taller and leaner than the other, I thought that was the male but the stumpy one is the male. We called him George after George Cozstanza. I put leg rings on them for the DNA tests. The male does not mind but the female did not like it at all so I removed it.

1. Will they wait for spring now or is there a chance that they may breed earlier?I put a new nest log in to try that.
2. What experience do you guys have about whether they breed a few times a year or just once in spring?
3. We went to the Nowra bird sale and show last week. It was great.
