    A friend of mine has two lovebirds which he thought were both males. Is it possible for two male lovebirds to bond so tightly that they will go into the breeding box together? :?:

    A friend of mine has 2 male lovebirds that are very close.They "cuddle" all the time.

    Just a quick :?:
    If he thinks they're both males, why do they have a breeding box in the first place?

    Hi yes it is possible for 2 male birds to bond just as easily as a male and female.

    Does you friend know for sure they are both male as DNA sexing is the best way to sex the birds but can be done by the following information.

    A male's head is flatter, while a female's head is round and arched. Females tend to sit more broadly on their perch, with their legs spread further apart than males.

    The tails of male and female lovebirds flare differently. You can observe this flaring when your lovebird takes a bath, shakes her tail, or participates in social activities. When they are flared, the tail feathers of females are all the same length, and seem to be cut straight across. Males have a rounded tail.

    Females are the nest builders so it can be observed females tucking nesting material in her feathers and taking it to the nest males will do this also but not so succesful as getting it to the nest.
