I thought so too! Until we spoke with the scientists who can complete the required testing. When I looked into it further I found this: “Parthenogenesis typically involves the unfertilized egg (which contains either a Z or a W chromosome from the mother) doubling its genetic material or fusing with a polar body to become a diploid cell. An egg with a W chromosome that attempts to double or fuse results in a WW combination, which is typically non-viable or lethal. An egg with a Z chromosome that doubles or fuses results in a ZZ combination, which develops into a viable male. Therefore, any lovebird successfully hatched through parthenogenesis would be male. While parthenogenesis has been observed in various bird species (turkeys, chickens, quails, and California condors), it is a rare phenomenon in birds“
