1. Housing
Minimum 18''/18'' cage for one pair of birds the love fly and play. So dont give small cages never give round cages clean cage minimum once a week clean water and food dishes per day. Uneaten food and dirty water become the home of bacterias. Which can harm your bird.

Because they will not take the food or water if there is stools in it.
3. Perches
Never give artificial plastic perches in the cage give sundry original perches in the cage love birds rub their beak o nthe perches to remove the flakes from it this flakes creates problem in consuming food if it is allowed to accumulate for a longer period.

So, the weak bird cannot escape if you trim the feathers of wings in case of cage breeding you can trim the feathers of wings trim the nails of birds in every six months. But friend if you are a beginner then dont try to do it yourself. Take help from some experienced guy. Give a dish full of water twice a week for bath. They just love it. If it is not possible then spray water with sprayer gently twice a week.

Add vegetables and fruits on regular basis in veggies you can give spinach, lettuce, amaranth, cabbage, carrot, broccoli, cucumber and many others in fruits apple, banana, peach orange, guava etc give eggfood once a week. Give cuttlebone always in the cage.
6. No Threat
Keep your birds in a predator free zone there should not be any cats, dogs or rats they could become frustrated if there is threat and may die in fear. Keep silence and give privacy. Love bird like silence and privacy. Dont go before their cage now and then they become depressed and anxious this causes some disease to them.
