Kiwi is a hybrid. Standard peachface crossed an eye ring series bird, Fischers would be my guess. Kiwi should be sterile as hybrids between non eye ring and eye ring lovebirds generally are. Both are very cute.

They can certainly pair up with another bird, but the actual hybrid will not be able to produce eggs nor fertilize them if it is male. The bird is either male or female, just not able to reproduce.

Fischers is my guess, I don't know positively, but with the eye ring he has, he is definitely a hybrid as peachface lovebirds do not have the larger, fleshy eye ring. Standard green Fischers also have a darkish head and a bit of the bronze-ish color like Kiwi shows.
As he is a hybrid, you never know what characteristics they will pick up from the two different species.
