Yup, those are lovebirds.

The dark bird on first pic is a Personatus lovebird.
Picture two is a Fischeri x Personatus hybrid.
Last 2 pics are Fischeri lovebirds.

That depends.
If they are bonded and you are keeping them together but won´t breed them, then they can be with whoever makes them happy. I have a brother/sister pair that I allowed to stay together, so it is my responsibility to make sure they do not breed.

If you want to breed these birds, then the Hybrid is a no no. The Fischeri together are an ok pair.
There is a white bird in the picture with your Personatus that looks to be Fischeri, so that would be a bad pair.

Hope that helps

If you have no idea what species your lovebirds are to begin with I would say you are not prepared for any breeding situation and should not even consider it. Have you even DNA sexed your birds to know what gender they are?

 

[mrsjerico]

i do know a lot about birds. i know a lot about lovebirds. i use the pelvic bones to sex them. just because i dont know the all different types doesnt mean i am not capable of breeding them. i certainly will not be asking questions from you nor will i want a reply from you.

No need to get nasty. You did state you were getting started with lovebirds and needed help identifying them.. which suggested to me you might not know enough before you venture into breeding. Pelvic sexing isn't considered reliable so you must be an expert with years of experience.

Andrea is offering good advice. Planning to breed birds when you don't even know their species or their gender is not exactly a great idea. And telling you so is not harassment.

 

[mrsjerico]

i asked for help iding my birds, not to be lectured or harrassed.

The advice being given is being given out of a place of concern, honesty and experience.
I don’t believe anyone is trying to upset you or be rude, I feel you May have misinterpreted. Please don’t feel like you’re being attacked, you’re not.
This kind of advice is given by these experienced members frequently and for a good reason. Their intentions are always pure and for the benefit and success of your birds.
Not everyone who comes here looking for advice or help knows everything they need to know and most are grateful for the extra information.

Ignorant and rude.

You've received good caring advice.
Put on your big girl panties and say thank you.
