Sexing Lovebirds

For those of you who are wondering if your bird is a male or female, here's some tips for you (not always accurate):

1. Mature female peachface lovebirds have a tendancy to tuck things in their rump. This is nesting instincts.

2. Males may upchuck their food for you or for a female. They may chose you as their mate, if you don't have another bird.

3. Males may rub their behind on something constantly. This is what they would do when they are on top a female.

4. Could always try the pelvic test. Pointier pelvic bones may suggest you have a male. Wide pelvic bones may suggest a female.

5. Sometimes you can tell the sex by their tail. When the bird takes a bath and spreads the tail feathers, see if the tail feathers are all the same length, or if it's tapered. I think if its the same length, it's a female.

6. Sometimes you can tell the sex by the way the bird stands. If its feet is spread far apart, it may be a female. If the feet are close together, it may be a male.
