Cool Facts- These little guys are a personal favorite of mine! Rosy-faced lovebirds mate for life and are almost always seen in pairs. They are known for their adorable sleeping position where they sit next to each other on a branch and press their faces together. Both males and females have identical coloration, with a stunning red head and blue tail. You know there’s a lovebird around when you hear its shrieking call. These birds are very popular in the pet industry but oftentimes people don’t know the difficulties of owning a long living parrot. This has led to pets being released into cities around the United States and Central America.

Rating- 13/10 (Happy Valentine’s Day!)

Rosy-Faced Lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis)

Also known as the Rosy-Collared Lovebird or the Peach-Faced Lovebird, the Rosy-Faced Lovebird is a common pet bird native to dry, open country in southwest Africa. The females are known to tear materials into strips, tuck them into their back and tail feathers, and fly back to make a nest - a behaviour often replicated in captive birds.

A lovebird aviary should be large enough to accommodate several birds, with plenty of space for them to fly and explore. The aviary should be well-ventilated, with plenty of natural light. It should also have a secure, predator-proof roof and walls, as well as a secure door. Inside the aviary, there should be plenty of perches, toys, and other enrichment items for the birds to enjoy. The aviary should also have a variety of plants and foliage for the birds to explore and hide in. Finally, the aviary should be kept clean and free of debris, and the birds should be provided with fresh food and water daily.

Lovebirds enjoy a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, grapes, carrots, spinach, and kale. They also enjoy a variety of seeds, such as millet, canary, and safflower. Commercial lovebird food is also available and should be supplemented with fresh foods.

How do you get lovebirds to eat vegetables? Instead of switching 100% to fruits and veggies, offer it to them slowly. Start with a few fruits and veggies and add the seeds your lovebird normally has. Mix it well (works best with finely chopped fruits and vegetables) and offer it to your bird. You could also add some of its favorite seeds on top.

happy valentine's day!

today's bird is the rosy-faced lovebird! (peach-faced lovebird)

- first off, a little valentine's fact: the date, february 14th, was selected by medieval birdwatchers who noticed it was around the time that birds would begin selecting their mates!

- rosy-faced lovebirds are the largest lovebird species

- rosy-faced lovebirds mate monogamously for life! if their partner dies they will enter an erratic and depressed state like that of humans
