Ian,
You didn't say how these lovebirds are housed but if they are all together, you will need to put the pair in their own cage. If you want babies, give them a lovebird size nestbox. I fill the box to just below the entrance hole with Carefresh (recycled paper available from your local pet shop) and hang the box on the outside of the cage as high up as you can get it. One mating has begun, it will take about 10 days for the hen to lay her first egg. Hopefully, you have a true pair.
