Love birds not sitting on eggs during daytime

Why is my lovebird not sitting on her eggs during the day when the evening comes the female and male will go in it and sit on the eggs all night this is not my first time for hatching eggs or dealing with lovebirds I’ve had baby many years I have love birds parakeets and Indian redneck parrots this is my first problem

Hi,

If this is their first clutch, it’s very common for the pair to mess things up. But if it continues with future clutches, then it’s best not to try to breed the pair again. The simple answer is some birds do not make good breeders or good parents and nothing can be done to make them do better.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
