Right now we have 6! We have the parents and 4 off spring. Are you doing anything special to get the to breed?

First off the situation has to be right, a certain amount of day light, breeding box, nesting material, too much food, AND the female has to want to lay eggs (they aren't sexually mature until they are more than 1 year of age). The birds can have s*x non-stop but she won't lay until she is good and ready.

Secondly, have you birds been DNA sexed? If not, you may not have a male and a female.

Possibly you do not really have a true male and female pair? or maybe they are older pair??
Also diet and humidity and nesting box and nesting stuff has to be just right.
There are some great sites online for beginner breeders I would take time to read a LOT and learn as much as you can about them and breeding.Also be sure you know about proper diet as wel las handfeeding.
Some parents will nto feed and you will end up being a new baby mom. This will mean feeding every hour when they are first hatched. If you work or go to school you need to be sure someone will be there every hour to feed them and know how to do so without choking and killing them.
Raising baby birds is not all fun and games and is a LOT of work.

I think I am more blessed compared to you and your brother. At the start I had only four pairs but now I have approximately sixty birds already. Their number would have been more if not because of some snakes that eat the newly-hatch birds. As a result, I transfered the cage to a more safe place away from the vines that usually become the passage of the snakes. The old cage was very conducive for the lovebirds. It had vines creeping naturally inside and since the vines are very thick, the interior of the cage is quiet cold. And such atmosphere is very favorable for the lovebirds. Warm and hot environment can often delay the rapid increase of lovebirds population.
