This is absolutely normal. Female peachface lovebirds do all the incubating of their eggs themselves. If they weren't so mean, they would literally be a sitting duck on that nest, so to speak. Lovebird pairs argue all the time. Trust me, if they were going to hurt each other, there would be such things as missing bloody toes, bloody ceres, or a dead bird in the cage. They are fine. The key is the fact that they settle down and cuddle together. If they are a true pair, and it sounds like they are, they will nest in due time. In time you have whole bunches of the aggressive little buggers.

:Hi there! I think I am almost sure i have a pair of lovebirds who are about 8 months old now. However, there is a problem. The female is very aggressive towards the male. She chases the male around the cage and tries to bite him most of the time. The male on the other hand tries to feed the female and mate with her. Other time when the female is not aggressive, she'll let him feed her and sleep alongside her. Are they going to lay eggs? Will the eggs be fertile? Do i need to get another male for her to choose?
