If you have more than one lovebird they may become more deeply bonded to each other that to you. Social Needs - A Common MythĪ common myth about keeping lovebirds is that they should always be kept in pairs.

Older lovebirds that are not hand tamed may require a great deal of patience for taming. If getting an older lovebird try to find one that was hand raised and has been handled regularly and has some training. Still, regular handling and training are needed to maintain a tame lovebird (so a hand raised baby that hasn't been handled much as it gets older may be hard to hand tame again). Hand-raised babies definitely make the best pets. Some experts believe that females are more prone to jealousy and territoriality than males. They are very social and form deep bonds with their owners and are sometimes very cuddly birds, but their intense personalities can also make them prone to nipping and territorial aggressiveness and jealousy. Very active, curious, and playful, lovebirds pack a lot of personality into a small package. Lovebirds are small, compact parrots about 5-6 inches in length and can live up to 15 years or more. There are many color mutations found in peach faced lovebirds and several mutations in some of the other species, so there are many color variations of lovebirds available. But the most commonly found species in the pet trade include peach faced lovebirds, or Agapornis roseicollis, masked lovebirds (Agapornis personata) and Fischer's lovebirds (Agapornis fischeri). There are several species of lovebirds, such as the genus Agapornis. If you are short on time to spend with your lovebird, then it is best to get him or her a companion.
