How to Tell a Lovebird’s Sex
Sexing lovebirds is tricky, especially when young, because the birds look alike, but several clues help. Males tend to have a pointed, smaller head, slimmer tight-feathered body, brighter color, bolder behavior, loud call, upright perch stance, and a V-shaped tail, while females are rounder, duller, calmer, softer-voiced, and W-tailed. The clearest sign is the vent: a male has a raised point between the pelvic bones, a female a flat gap. DNA testing is the surest method.
