They're adorable! :xflove: We'd love to be updated on their arrival.

You might not want to do this right away, but once they settle in its a good idea to remove the plastic perches and replace them with natural and wooden ones. :) Parrots need a variety of perches to keep their feet healthy, and plastic harbors bacteria once it starts getting scratched up.

They're gorgeous! What makes you think they're male vs. female?

Ahh, color doesn't make a difference in lovebird gender :) I didn't know if their pelvis bones felt different or something. Have fun with them, lovebirds are a BLAST!

The other one's face will likely darken up, that one is probably just a little younger. I'll go find pictures of twitch as a baby versus now. His face is MUCH brighter now that he's older :)

Here's my baby :)

This is a day or two after I got him. He was freshly weaned at this point, so still pretty young.

Here he is a few months after, you can see he almost has "chicken pox" looking things on the top of his head where is brighter feathers were coming in.

Then you can see he's even darker here. This was when he was about a year old.
(He's the one without green)

oh man I hoped it was male and female, but they always sit together do male and male or female and female do this as well.

Lovebirds regardless of gender, will cuddle up. That's kinda why they're called Lovebirds. The only way to tell gender is to have them tested or wait for one to lay an egg.
