Unfortunately there is no test to check a birds age. A lovebird (if old enough) you can sex them by putting your finger to their pelvic bones and feeling the gap. It helps if you have a definate female for comparison who if old enough to breed. Feel her pelvic bones for the gap and then check the other. If there is a much smaller gap then it is likely a male, a larger gap (for egg passing) is likely a female. The male is generally much more afraid of the female as she will generally bully him. My mum's male is always being chased by the female - even though they love each other - but he always goes back to her.
