Black mask fisher lovebirds


I have two black mask, fisher lovebirds how will their babies were come out? My bird are Blue and white black head


Answer:

Hi,

A Black Masked Lovebird and a Fischer’s Lovebird are two different species of lovebirds. What you probably have are blue mutations of the Black Masked lovebirds. Unfortunately lovebirds have been bred so indiscriminately, there is no way of knowing what the chicks will look like until they have feathers. Your birds could be split to other color mutations, or if you were told they were black masked X Fischer’s, then they are hybrids that may or may not be sterile. If you get any chicks, you will just have to be surprised!

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
