Lovebirds

These small African natives – scientific name Agapornis – are no doubt in the top 5 of most popular pet parrots. Their name comes from the strong bond between pairs, which are rarely apart! There are 9 lovebird species, of which the peach-faced lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) is probably the most commonly kept in captivity.

Feral populations of lovebirds, escaped or released from the pet trade, can be found around the world. In this category, you’ll find everything you need to know about lovebird care, lifespan, diet and more.
