According to an old legend, lovebirds received this name because after the death of one bird from a pair, the second, unable to withstand separation, left after it.
The story is beautiful, even romantic, but in real life lovebirds are not so faithful and, having lost their partner, quickly find a replacement for him.
Appearance Lovebirds are beautiful, bright, miniature parrots, whose body length is about 17 cm and weighs about 50 grams.
Lovebirds have a rather large head, due to which the birds look somewhat stocky, a strong, curved beak, a small rounded tail, and strong, short legs.
Lovebirds are agile, can climb trees well and run well on the ground.
These parrots have many advantages for keeping at home: bright plumage, funny appearance and cheerful character.
They easily tolerate captivity, which is why their popularity among amateurs is growing every year.
The vocal apparatus, which perfectly creates all these various sounds, imitates human speech poorly.
You should not expect long phrases or lengthy arguments from your pet. It is impossible to teach this to a lovebird.
