Your bird will be perfectly OK by itself. If you want to get a mate for it, it doesn't really matter what sex the newcomer is, as 2 ***** will be just as happy together as 2 hens or one pair. Putting them together may require putting them in seperate cages side by side until they get used to each other.

To sex lovebirds there are various methods which can only be performed by experienced aviculturists, and then only with mature birds and with a degree of guessing. The most reliable way is to get them DNA sexed, but this may cost more than the birds itself.
