Lovebird mother looks weak
My lovebird laid several eggs for the first time in December, and none of them hatched. Then again in February, she laid six eggs, and three of them have hatched since the beginning of March. She stays in the next box all day- the male bird feeds her, and she regurgitates food for the chicks. She has been in that box for a long time, and hardly leaves to get food. She sits on the chicks all day. But I see that she looks weak, and my dad keeps telling me it's normal, since she is sitting on the chicks all day, hardly leaves the box, and doesn't eat a lot on her own. He also says it's hormonal. Is my dad completely right, or should I be worried? she does take care of the chicks (along with the male bird), but she just looks like she has no energy.

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Maybe you should get a vet to come check it out and see if everything is okay your dad might be right but its always better to know for sure so just ask a vet or have the vet come to your house or if possible take it to the vet. Either way get the vet to check her out or get some books or do some research on the internet im sure you'll get what your looking for. Good luck :D
