My lovebirds are making a nest.. but I dont think they are mating... How long does it usually take for them to finish making the nest?
If they are making a nest, you can expect them to start mating soon if they haven't already.
Depending on how much material you give them, it took take from a few day to a few weeks for them to finish making the nest.

Robin Bergsma, 53, learned to love birds in the Tampa Bay area, where she frequented the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary.
Now she lives in Michigan. And she doesn't even need to look outside to see birds. She waits in vigil over their egg-filled nests, brought to her computer through live streaming video.

Eighty feet above a Cornell University athletic field in New York, a red-tailed hawk and her mate take turns sitting on their eggs, unperturbed by the nearby optics.
A hummingbird mother-to-be named Phoebe in Irvine, Calif., mesmerizes the world from atop a red rose bush, her nest barely bigger than a golf ball.
Should Bergsma feel nostalgic for Florida feathers, a camera is also trained on an osprey platform towering over the Pinellas Trail. The eggs are due to hatch any moment, live via DunedinOspreyCam.org.

Additionally to this video (I forgot to mention), we prefer to mount the nestbox on the outside of the cage for easier access to the babies for ...
Once the birds leave the nest, they return, only to roost nearby, but usually do not move fully back into the nest until the next mating season. Once they realize that you do not pose a threat to them, they will allow you to sit nearby and observe their nesting habits. At night, you find the mother sitting on her nest quietly.
