Terdapat 3 jenis lovebird yang biasa dibela di malaysia (peachface, Fischer dan Masked) dan susah nak kenal jantina mereka kalau sekali imbas. Namun terdapat perbezaan kecil dan untuk mereka yang sudah pakar boleh kenal tanda-tanda tu.
Bagi orang yang tak pakar macam saya ni DNA test ialah penyelesaian terbaik untuk kenal jantina lovebird. Jika kos yang tinggi dan susah nak jumpe tempat yang boleh buat DNA test ni menyebabkan anda bersedih hati maka jangan runsing. Ada cara lain mudah dan lebih murah..
Jantina lovebirs boleh ditentukan dari perangai mereka. Cara ni makan masa banyak dan burung perlulah matang sepenuhnya (1 tahun ke atas). Cara ni bukan lah 100% berkesan. Kadang2 ada Peachface jantan yang pandai kutip nesting material macam betina juga. Tapi kalau burung tu bertelor memang kompom lah betina. Jangan terperanjat kalau sepasang lovebird betina boleh bertelor tanpa jantan. Kalau telor dah cecah 10 -12 biji kemungkinan besar anda ada dua ekor betina. biasa lovebird telor 3-6 biji saja.
Membiak Lovebirds
Seronok laa kalau dapat biak Lovebird. Burung ni memang suka berdua-duaan (bercouple). Ramai orang ingat bila dah couple macam tu mudah lah untuk membiak.
Makanan yang bagus ialah kunci kejayaan untuk membiak lovebird. Makanan perlu seimbang seperti bijirin dan sayuran segar. Tetapi bukan itu saja, banyak lagi persediaan yang diperlukan. Nanti kita akan bicangkan perkara ini lebih lanjut.
attempt breeding: keep good breeding records. Even if you have a good memory, you can't rely on it to remember all the necessary details of each lovebird. An ordinary notebook will do. Set it up to record matings, eggs laid, hatchings, behavior, health, and other key data. Every time you check on the lovebirds (regularly, but not too often!), record your findings in the notebook. I consider record keeping the foundation of any successful breeding program.
Breeding Lovebirds Most lovebird species are easily to breed, which accounts for much of their popularity with bird fanciers. They rank just behind cockatiels and budgerigars (parakeets) in this respect. Generally, you can count on successfully breeding and raising young if you provide your breeding stock with proper housing, feeding, and care. What's more, you'll find a ready market for young, because the demand for lovebirds continues to exceed the supply. However, I urge that before you sell any fledglings (young that have left the nest), you first allow them to develop properly by housing them separately from the older lovebirds and allowing them to fly in a good -sized run for at least 8 to 9 months.
Take careful note of the following advise before you attempt breeding: keep good breeding records. Even if you have a good memory, you can't rely on it to remember all the necessary details of each lovebird. An ordinary notebook will do. Set it up to record matings, eggs laid, hatchings, behavior, health, and other key data. Every time you check on the lovebirds (regularly, but not too often!), record your findings in the notebook.
