Sex identification was performed in 12 known sex lovebirds (Agapornis spp.) including 12 males and 9 females. Two sexing methods were evaluated including vent sexing(pelvic length evaluation) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The vent sexing method found 11 male birds and 10 female birds compared to PCR method, which found 12 males and 9 females (The results showed that the vent sexing method had 76.19 percent accuracy and 100 percent accuracy in PCR method) The accuracy of sexing showed that PCR method were 100 percent compared to 76.19 percent in vent sexing method.
