Peachface re earlier post

If it's a dutch blue peachface and a normal peachface pair, then you have no problem there. However, you do want to separate the species if possible, or at least not let them breed in the future.

Peachface lovebirds are the most aggressive lovebird species out there, and also tend to be the cuddliest (from all that I have read). It is said that they are the 'pit bulls' of the bird world!

Well, there's no accounting on how grumpy any hen can be. Any hen or male for that matter in a breeding scenario, can be aggressive; however peachies are characteristically more aggressive as well as usually being larger and heavier....little brutes.

By having a pair of standard green and a dutch blue, all the chicks should be green/dutch blue. Many breeders call this "breeding back to green" which generally ensures healthier and larger stock down the road. We've been doing this with several pairs for the past year. Their offspring are all visual greens, split for various mutations and are healthy and large. We can then take a green /dutch blue from one clutch and pair it with a chick from another pair that is green /dutch blue and get a genetically stronger bird.

If you choose to keep the fischer/lutino pair together, you might consider not allowing them to breed (which is easier said than done) but you can always boil or addle eggs. Many people have issue with doing this, but it is a responsible way of making sure no more chicks are hatched.
