I've been looking this up and this is the best explanation I found (both on video and as text) Thanks a ton!! Just one question How old should my lovebird be before I can tell its gender?
Cool video. Still not sure about the magnet... have you tried tying the string and magnet to some where that is more stacked than your hand and see if there will be any movement once the magnet stops moving.
If these all dont work for you, dont be afraid. They can be physically identical to us and still be different sexes. There can also be signs of them being both male and female in any lovebird. Also, two males can be a couple, and two females can be a couple. This is why its popular to send feathers in for analysis. Another way to know if they are male or female: Wait to see if there are eggs.
9:20 my female lovebird does this all the time, My male does his matting dance by himself and she pays no mind, now opposite when female in mood and puts tail up in his face, she even tries to help him get on her back but he wants no part or does not know what to do. Just this year they started this behavior, Male 4yrs female 3yrs. What's going on? HELP
Sir I have albino black ring eye pair. They done there nesting so what is the activity if both females. I observe that my other birds usually male feed female . So if both are females is they exchange feed?
I learned a lot from this, Thank you very much. Marami akong natutunan dito, Maraming salamat. Daghan ang akong nakat-unan gikan niini, Daghang salamat. Damo nga salamat.
In another vídeo it says the female have rounded heads and males have an almost block or flat head 🤔 would you please let me know what else to look for. Thank you
Cool video! I am new to lovebirds, I have a pair, but they don’t seem to be breeding. I am going to use your method to see if they are 2 different sexes.
thanks. make sure to provide a nestbox and nesting materials to encourage them to breed. the hen will do the construction of the nest. while the cock will just play with the nesting materials.
BIRDIOLOGY my lovebirds have been together over a year and have a nestbox but still not breeding. he shreds paper all the time & is very cage& food bowl & nestbox protective. shes real calm & doesnt seem too interested in breeding. she was still young when i adopted her. thank you for this video. it helped a lot.
I suspect that the presence of Your (male) hand may have thrown off that last test. I would try it again with Your hand under the bird, or wrapped in a towel or glove & then see how the magnet reacts. I sure am learning a lot. Really appreciate You sharing Your wisdom. Namaste 🙏 and Thank You !!
I have a pair of bird but they do not hatch the egg, and they would only break the egg after several days. what should i do for them to hatch the egg. Thank you.
is it their first time to breed? there are many factors why they do that. they may be too young for breeding, atleast it must be over a year old. or they are stressed or got spooked by predators like cats or rodents, or the cage location has lots of human traffic. and dont look to check the eggs everytime.
@@ivytorresbase6076 i don't recommend putting them together. lovebirds will bully or it can kill your parakeets. but if it is a very large cage or flight, it might work for them.
hi! I'd like to ask if how long will this birds starts to breed or laying eggs? and also, do you have any recommendations to which better food for them as they grew up. thank you and I appreciate your future reply. GodSpeed
hi harko! they can start to breed at 6 to 8 months. but i recommend 1 year up to prevent problems. mostly seeds and greens and if you can find high protein pellets. u can use chicken pellets. much cheaper. i have a complete guide on this. check it out. how to breed african lovebirds. happy bird keeping!
Ty for this! But I still cant figure out which one is male and female, One of my birds looks like a male but acts like a female, And the other one looks like a female but acts like a male. Please help-
Pwede bang magbond ang Female to Female. Kasi nung binili ko sila magkasama sa kulungan. Diba po sabi nyo sa video ay masakit mangagat yung female, parehas po sila masakit mangagat. Pero they kiss and sweet sila. I'm confused dun sa sipit-sipitan nila same lang kasi. Thanks po
Sa pagkapa, kung parehas nakabukaka sa cock mapapansin mo may matulis pa din dun. Sa hen wala. Pero kung naguguluhan kapa din sa size mo tignan din. Pero may mga big cock.
yes sir. pwede mag pair hen to hen at cock to cock. pag sumobra pa sa anim mga eggs, usually parehas na hen. yung behavior na paikotikot na dance ang hanapin mo sa cock. halos di ginagawa ng hen yun.
@@whirwick yung akin sir nag lay ng 7 pero naka survive lang dalawa. Proven naman silang pair. Una isip ko din same hen kasi dami egg pero nakapag pisa sila kaya pair sila hehe
It’s just that my “male” love bird is doing all of these signs like he’s scratching his beak and he’s also spreading his wings and it gets me very confused so I don’t know
Hello Sir. I have a very confusing bird. Let me describe the physical traits. Its almost 2 years old. The head is flat, tail is not that pointy nor that wide.I have seen it regurgitate food like you showed in the video, also scratches the head with the legs. I have kept it with a confirmed Male. So this is my confusion. Physically it looks like a female but regurgitates food and scratches its head, so behaviour is like a male. If you give your email id I will send you pics and videos of this bird. Im so confused , please advice. I thought its a female and got a male for it. Now it regurgitates food and feeds the new male. They even scratch the necks of each other. Please advice. Thanks
Hello I have a 10 week old lovebird that is really afraid of water (not drinking but bathing). He also doesnt know how to eat anything but seed yet, is that normal? I tried giving him a tiny square of carrot, as small as I could cut it but he just chews on it and it falls out of his mouth. Is he just too young or am I doing something wrong?
yes, i will make a video in the future. but for now, you can check the tails and wings and look for the barrings or stripes. if the barrings did not go away in 8 months or a year, it means it's a female. the male will lose these stripes when they get into maturity. observe their behavior, the male always sing and noisy.
@@whirwick Thank you so much I watched the whole video I really liked it ♥️ I just got him a week ago so I was just letting him get adjusted to my house and then I will try next week.
try mo muna bigyan ng gulay sir. pero maglagay ka rin ng seeds. ma cucurious din yan at matututo kumain ng seeds. tsaka mo medyo bawasan yung formula unti unti.
i'm sorry sir, i can't do export. it takes a lot of paperwork and permits. you can join facebook groups in our country. they can help you there. search for african lovebirds philippines on facebook groups. lots of exporter there. thanks.
This is the best help I have found online without a test being done. Thank you! You are awesome !
What an informative video, you are excellent at explaining the difference between male and female Lovebirds. Thank you.
I've been looking this up and this is the best explanation I found (both on video and as text)
Thanks a ton!!
Just one question
How old should my lovebird be before I can tell its gender?
Love birds decorate their tails with bits of colored paper strips. Do the males decorate themselves or both do?
Cool video. Still not sure about the magnet... have you tried tying the string and magnet to some where that is more stacked than your hand and see if there will be any movement once the magnet stops moving.
yes, you can tie it on a stick and clamp it if you have shaky hands. 😊
Is this 100% accurate? I tried it seems like it is.. what's the science behind it?
I could not see the picture well because the typed letters covers the view. Why do you have to type what is said?
these are the best description and illustrations thank u so much ! :-)
Very helpful video
I have a female lovebird and you are 100% accurate!! Love this video very informatie and great examples used!! Thank you 💖

this video took me through a journey
Im a newbie and new subscriber here.. thank you, worth watching your videos, i learned a lot
Wouldn't your own sex affect the magnet test, and skew the results?
In another vídeo it says the female have rounded heads and males have an almost block or flat head 🤔 would you please let me know what else to look for. Thank you
Did you had another channel ?
Too much informative & thanku for the video🙏
When do you separate the babies to avoid breeding with their parents and siblings?
Cool video! I am new to lovebirds, I have a pair, but they don’t seem to be breeding. I am going to use your method to see if they are 2 different sexes.
thanks. make sure to provide a nestbox and nesting materials to encourage them to breed. the hen will do the construction of the nest. while the cock will just play with the nesting materials.
sir pahelp po please
BIRDIOLOGY my lovebirds have been together over a year and have a nestbox but still not breeding. he shreds paper all the time & is very cage& food bowl & nestbox protective. shes real calm & doesnt seem too interested in breeding. she was still young when i adopted her. thank you for this video. it helped a lot.
They are called, "Pelvic bones" or the "Pelvic area" - but the bones in that area are called, the "Pelvis" (which is a noun).
Hi It's work on only adult? How about young 2 months old?
Thank you for all information! God bless you ☺️
sir good eve,i just want to ask f pendulum gendering is how accurate?could it be consider next to DNA?
I suspect that the presence of Your (male) hand may have thrown off that last test. I would try it again with Your hand under the bird, or wrapped in a towel or glove & then see how the magnet reacts. I sure am learning a lot. Really appreciate You sharing Your wisdom. Namaste 🙏 and Thank You !!
Hello there loved your video keep the good work going. 💕
Can we use the magnet method on cockatiel???
thanks! 😀 yes you can. it works on any bird.
@@whirwick bro i have a pair of peach face lovebirds i want to know if r Male or female help me plz
My little lovebird displays all the female signs, except for the mating call sign. I’m very confused...
I have a pair of bird but they do not hatch the egg, and they would only break the egg after several days. what should i do for them to hatch the egg. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing . I knew about most of the sexing of these birds but never heard about the magnet one, will try it for sure.
i think there will be an issue with the magnet pendulum... magnets are somehow attracted by the north and south poles... have you tried coin pendulum?
Learned alot from this vid! Keep it up. New subscriber here 😁
Thank you !!! This helped me a lot ❤
why using magnet on female and not the screw and same goes with the male? great video by the way
ganda ng soundtrack mejo blues! heehhe
Can it be possible to breed parakeet n lovebirds?plsss reply...
not possible. but you can cross breed peachfaced lovebird to the eyering lovebird, but not recommended because chicks are sterile.
@@whirwick thank you for replying!!
@@whirwick can I put the lovebirds female together with my parakeet in one big cage? Thank you
@@ivytorresbase6076 i don't recommend putting them together. lovebirds will bully or it can kill your parakeets. but if it is a very large cage or flight, it might work for them.

Do males like to chill in there nesting box???
Let me know about how to find the male female in java sparrow

Will the magnet technique work on a younger lovebird?
yes sir. but it is not 100% accurate. maybe try it again after a few days if it did not changed. 👌
thank u sir gud info nice one👍
9:40 9:58
Thanks so much, this is way more useful than some other stupid videos on Lovebirds. Pendulum seems arcane? I wonder how that works?
If their paired up already doesn't it mean that there's a Male and female???
Tarlac lang ako sir. Baka pwede makakuha kahit parblue pair lang para magkaroon ako ng high mute din. Normal mutes lang akin eh 😭😭😭
wala pa po available parblue. ok lang normal mutes sir, basta quality. halos mga normal lang sakin. 😊

Please make a video on mutations and it's offspring.
Thats some kind of sorcery man! More content on your channel!

Hello Bro. How to check male or female in cocktail bird .Plz make a video on this topic.
yes, i will make a video in the future. but for now, you can check the tails and wings and look for the barrings or stripes. if the barrings did not go away in 8 months or a year, it means it's a female. the male will lose these stripes when they get into maturity. observe their behavior, the male always sing and noisy.
Amazing video thank you
How to check for 2 months baby?
I only have one 5-month-old lovebird how can I tell?
Try to let him/her bite you. Too much pain means its a she. The size and pelvic too.
@@whirwick Thank you so much I watched the whole video I really liked it ♥️ I just got him a week ago so I was just letting him get adjusted to my house and then I will try next week.
Very interesting th thanks for the info
