    Good Luck Boobear.

    I've had my lovebirds make babies before.
    You will be amazed at how tiny and fragile they look when they are first born. I think it's about 21-24 days before they hatch.

    If you can get them to hatch, take daily pics and post them. It would be very cool to be able to see it, if only through the lens of a camera.

    I bought a nesting box for my birds it is metal and the lid comes off,,
    My female went in to it but nothing happened,
    I think I paid 50 -60 dollars for the box as I was told they needed it.
    The babies are so ugly that they are cute,,,
    Pictures would be neat,,,

    i thought i would share some info with you ,

    Never take a cockatiel’s eggs away once they are laid. Removing eggs prematurely will cause a cockatiel to lay an additional clutch to replace the eggs she has lost. This is nature’s way of replacing the gene pool. Always allow a cockatiel to sit on her eggs for as long as she wishes – until she chooses on her own to abandon them. In more severe cases of constant egg-laying, you may need to dramatically decrease the number of daylight hours


    By cockatiels laying cluch after clutch takes away alot of there calcium as well as other things, some people will allow a nesting box and allow mother nature to take its course which would be best , or as well as you can buy fake eggs to replace them,


    pm if you need any help
