Lovebird Genetics
by KinBird Aviary
About
We breed Fischer's lovebirds in Bangladesh and build tools so breeders everywhere can work from verified science â not guesswork.

Owner & Lead Breeder â KinBird Aviary
Ayaan Shohan is a professional Fischer's lovebird breeder based in Bangladesh. He specialises in rare mutation lovebirds, sourcing birds directly from Indonesia and the Philippines and working with breeders across Pakistan, India, the UAE, and Europe. He built the Lovebird Genetics Calculator to fill a gap he experienced directly: a tool designed specifically for Agapornis fischeri that handles the full mutation set â including Aqua, Pale Fallow, Euwing, and other mutations that general calculators model incorrectly or ignore.
KinBird Aviary is a Fischer's lovebird (Agapornis fischeri) breeding operation based in Bangladesh. We focus exclusively on rare colour mutations â importing foundation stock from Indonesia (the world's largest lovebird exporter) and the Philippines, then selectively breeding for quality and genetic diversity.
Our operation spans local breeding and international trade, supplying birds to breeders and collectors in Pakistan, India, the UAE, Dubai, and across Europe. We document pairings and outcomes rigorously, which is how our genetics data stays calibrated to real-world results rather than theoretical models.
lovebirdgenetics.com is a free, browser-based genetics calculator built specifically for Agapornis fischeri. It predicts the offspring distribution â by mutation and by sex â for any parent pairing, handling up to six traits per parent simultaneously.
Most existing lovebird calculators were built for Agapornis roseicollis (Peach-faced lovebird) or handle a limited mutation set. Fischer's lovebirds have distinct genetics â particularly for Opaline, Ino, and Aqua â and needed a dedicated tool.
Mutations covered:
The calculator correctly models SF (Single Factor) and DF (Double Factor) outcomes for autosomal dominant incomplete mutations â Euwing, Greywing, and Misty â which most tools either omit or handle incorrectly. Sex-linked mutations (Opaline, Pallid, Cinnamon) show separate male and female outcome columns so breeding plans are immediately actionable.
Every inheritance model in the calculator maps directly to The Lovebird Compendium by Dirk Van den Abeele (2016, 769 pages) â the primary peer-reviewed scientific reference for Agapornis genetics. Dirk Van den Abeele is a biologist, aviculturist, and was supervisor of the first complete genome mapping of Agapornis roseicollis. His compendium documents gene loci, allele relationships, and inheritance mechanisms for all known mutations across the eye-ring and rosy-faced species groups.
Where the Compendium documents species-specific differences between Fischer's and Peach-faced lovebirds â for example, Opaline and Ino, which are sex-linked in roseicollis but autosomal recessive in fischeri â the calculator follows the fischeri model. Pairing outcomes have been validated against documented breeding results contributed by specialist breeders in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
