And if the distance between the narrower bone chopsticks and feels hard sex is usually the male lovebird. But the way is not 100% true. For the most accurate way is often done by people west by way of a blood test to revoke the feather lovebird lovebird feathers at the base where it attaches there is a little blood then taken to a special laboratory for researching gender lovebird. In this way, a very accurate way to determine the sex of lovebird.

After incubation for 25 days the eggs have not hatched eggs are likely to hatch and can not be taken back let lovebird lay eggs. The eggs that we take our breaks to determine the condition of the eggs. If the condition of the egg is still intact, there is still white and the yolk means the unfertilized egg, but if the egg is rotten to fail in its incubation.
