how can you tell if a love bird is a male or female?

Answer 1

What Fhad Dog said is correct for parakeets not lovebirds.

I have kept lovebirds. The Lovebird usually has a lighter coloring than the male; but many years ago I had a lovebird named Buddy. I thought he was a male, so I named him after a friend; I was very surprised when Buddy laid eggs a year later. ;-)

No one is right all of the time.

Answer 3

It depends what type of lovebird you have. Most types you have to have DNA sexing done. I have a peach-faced lovebird and I know with those you can not tell the difference.

If you get a bird talk magazine or something like that, or even check online you can get DNA sexing done on your bird to find out.
