Welcome to the Superior Court of California, County of Trinity. We are committed to providing fair and just outcomes for all people who use our courts. Presiding Judge Michael B. Harper
Often after a long separation or stressful period of time, breeding pairs of lovebirds feed each other to re-establish their bond. One bird transfers food to the mouth of its mate, a feeding technique reminiscent of affection in humansâhence the inspiration for the parrots' name.. Lovebirds mate for life. The monogamous birds reach sexual maturity when they're about ten months old. Mating begins with courtship behavior, and can continue throughout their roughly 15-year lifespans.
However, it is always advisable to wait until your bird is 2 years old before you decide to mate it. Invariably, a female cockatiel will breed until she is 8 to 10 years old, while a male cockatiel stays fertile until he is around 12 years to 14 years of age.
