LOVE BIRDS- Laying eggs
I have two lovebirds, male and female (DNA sexing results have been confirmed), both are about 13 or 14 months old. I think that the female should start laying eggs around now.
I feed them both a pelleted diet, and some veggies and fruits. They are both in very good shape.
I have a few questions-
a) is there any way I should prepare for my lovebird to lay eggs?
b) should I add anything to her diet to help her become more fertile? Is there a special food I can get for her, or what she is eating now is just fine...
c) by when should she start laying eggs?
d) when she does start laying eggs, what should I do?
I haven't had experience with this before...my lovies are doing very well, they are playful and love flying around, but now I think it's time for a new stage in their lives :)

The names Katie 13/f I know I am young to know this but beleive me I do.
Question a) To prepare you should get a breader box this is a box that attatches onto the cage so the bird can lay her egg sheltered instead of in the open, lay some shavings in there.
Question b)You could buy some grit its good from them but you dont need it if you dont want it. And you keep feeding them the way you are and there good to go!
Question c)Its depends on when she started but if you think shes due anytime now probably 1-3 weeks tops.
Question d)You shoulden't do anything at the moment just let them do there own thing, its better to let them hatch the egg's and leave them alone so they dont break the egs or something.
P.S- When the eggs start hatching dont be upset if there is 1 or 2 eggs that dont hatch its normal.
Well good luck to you and your birds!
