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. Intensely emotional and feisty, 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 less-assertive creature is hard on the lovebird's victim. Both these situations are to be avoided. A lovebird is happiest when surrounded by its countless toys and an adoring flock of humans. Lovebirds are tireless and their antics are endlessly amusing. Although some lovebirds 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.
