A happy family of love birds.

Love Birds are a type of small parrot that are best known in the form of the Peach Faced Lovebird. They are 13-17cm (5-7 inches) long, and sturdily built. For their small size they have large beaks. The often weigh 40-60 grams, making them heavier than the similarly sized Budgerigar. They originate in Africa and Madascar.


[edit] Social Needs

Love Birds are very demanding, and have lots of energy. They require at least an hour of Human-Birdy interaction, especially if they are kept alone. They need a large cage, similar to Budgies, and lots of toys.

[edit] Procautions

Lovebirds are VERY loud, and may disturb neighbors in an apartment complex or town house, and so are best kept only in houses. They also have a knack for chewing on things they shouldn't, so keep them away from wires and plants.
