That is a really pretty bird.....I'm glad you decided to adopt it. I hate the idea of someone getting rid of an unwanted pet by "setting it free".
Sorry, I don't know much about lovebirds but maybe someone on the bird forum can give you some info on sexing them?

usually the males are much more colorful and vocal than females.

Good luck!
