Peach-Faced Lovebirds

Peach-faced lovebirds are native to the dry and dessert regions of Africa. They are very sociable animals and can be found in small groups living in the wild. They eat throughout the day and spend a lot of time having baths.

They are also called Rosy faced lovebirds and their coloring can be varied but the males are brighter and smaller than the females, who tend to be darker. Their predominant color is green with either a peach colored or rose colored face.

Lovebirds are well known for the way they sit side by side and turn their faces to each other when sleeping.

In the wild the females tear materials into long strips and tie them by twisting them into their back feathers before flying off to take them to make their nest.

Lovebirds should be given sufficient room to move about in their cage as they are active and need to be provided with toys to keep him/her amused.
