The main reason why your lovebird eggs are not fertile is because it doesn’t have any fertil yolk. This normally happens when the male is not present.
Sometimes you will experience that your female bird keeps on laying eggs and they never hatch. All the eggs stay as unfertile. In a case like this this are 4 main points you have to check. One Is your female lovebird by itself or does it has a male with her. You need to make sure is a proven male and not another lovebird that you think is male. Because it could be another female and that’s why the eggs are not fertile. If is a proven male by DNA test than the other reason is that is not an old enough adult and is not mating rite. Also the female lovebird is probably not seating on the eggs long enough to keep them warm like it should. Or the male lovebird it has as mate has an internal problem that is not fertilizing the eggs correctly.
Two females Together
If you have two females together you will think that you have an actual pair. When in reality you don’t have a real pair. Sometimes females will get along and act as males and female and even make love to each other sometimes. Eventually you will start to get notice because you see that the eggs are never fertile or you see a number of eggs at once that is not normal like more then 7 at a time. That means you have two females and that’s why the eggs are never fertile. However they will continue in laying eggs because they do it by habit.
