How do you tell the difference between a male or female lovebird?

Answer 1

We cantell the difference b'ween a male and a female lovebird is by doing the pelvis test or by observering their leg placing area, while they are sitting on the preech.

1. For the female, the leg spacing will be very "long" and for the male, the leg spacing will be very "short".

2. The other thing to know their sex by checking their "pelvis bone vent".

For the female lovebirds, the pelvis vent will be very big, ( i.e;) the distance b'ween two bones will be much bigger in size.

The vent of male lovebird will be smaller than the femalelovebirds i.e; their pelvis bone is narrow in size.

This can be very suitable for some of the few lovebirds only. B'cos for the female lovebirds, their pelvis bone will be look be closer as the male. It will be increased during their breeding season. so please kindly note these above points before you judge their sex.

Better go for the DNA test for accurate results.

Answer 2

It's not easy, because there aren't any ways to tell lovebird's sex from it's appearence. Behavior can say something, but certain way is DNA-test, or is the bird lays an egg, or pair of birds have chicks.

Answer 3

I have been told with a DNA test is the only way to tell for sure. I have one that I think is a female just by the way she acts. but then again I said (I Think)...lol

Answer 4

The female is darker I think and has a larger chest than the male.

Answer 5

A DNA CHECK MUST BE PERFORMED
