aggressive male lovebird

(Celina, Ohio)
I recieved a pair of lovebirds. they had a nesting box in their cage, but i was told they were both females but lo and behold, I have two eggs in 4 days.
the problem seems to be the male, I am guessing cause it was on top when they were in the act. now he is picking the female behind the head and neck leaving her bloodied.
The female is peach faced and the male is violet blue, I think that is what it is called there is a little mask of peach just above the eyes. and the male seems VERY aggressive tword the female.
Is this normal, what can/should I do. I didnt want babys, I was duped but now i will be smarter for it.
