Lovebirds
Lovebirds are any of nine species of small African parrots characterized
by bright colors, high intelligence, unlimited energy, curiosity and
sociability. A single lovebird will quickly bond with its owner and
establish him or her as its very own property to love and to cherish
forever. Lovebirds pack tremendous courage and assertiveness in their
little bodies. For this reason a lovebird is usually best suited to a
household where the "lovey" will be the only pet. In the presence of
other pets, a lovebird will likely confront and attempt to intimidate
them. In doing so they don't necessarily exercise sound judgment. For
a lovebird to confront a larger more powerful pet is dangerous. For it
to intimidate a smaller defenseless creature is hard on the lovebird's
victim. These situations are to be avoided. A lovebird is happiest when
surrounded by countless toys and an adoring flock of humans. Lovebirds
are tireless and their antics are endlessly amusing. Although some love
birds learn to talk, they are not noted for their speaking ability, and
shouldn't be acquired expecting that they will be conversational. A single
lovebird will soon become a wonderful loving companion and, in that capacity,
will have no difficulty communicating with its owner.
