I have recently rescued six lovebirds from a neglectful situation.  Apparently the person just got them from other breeders/stores and then passed away.  I think she was senile and didn't realize what she was doing.  So my friend works for hospice and called me about these birds that the family was going to take to the pound.  SO being the sucker I am, I took them ALL!

I have two girls in separate cages and always wanted a flock I just didn't see it happening so fast.

So now I have:

Cage one: Millie and Milo pair 1 year old

Cage two: Lenny and Lilo pair 5 years old

Cage three: Joey girl 5 months (mine)

Cage four: Phoebe girl 5 months (mine)

Cage five: blue boy 8 weeks

Cage sic: yellow boy 12 weeks

So that is a total of four pairs (male/female) of birds.  One day I would like to breed them (not much, just to try and my local family pet store will raise babies if I can't). If I breed I would keep a pair too making 10 total.

So my question is.....will it work if I pair the singles together and SLOWLY put all 8 (one day 10) into one big cage?  Will they get along ok if even pairs?  Can I breed without issue and most importantly what size cage is needed?

All these cages are a lot so I would love just one mega cage? Thank you!

If you put all the birds in one cage, they will likely not stay in the original pairing and you will develop hybrids, if that is okay with you, then one big cage may be fine.

Also, If you put them all in the same cage, do it all at once, otherwise, you will have the earlier ones picking on the newer ones.
 
I would recommend individual units for each pair for ideal breeding. There are stackable cages sufficient for this.
 
This unit is idea for your need, sized large enough and is still available, they sell quickly.

There is also a stand available. You cannot put 4 units on one stand though, perhaps 3, so you may want 4 cages and 2 stands.
