Lovebirds are adorable birds to keep as pets since they are cuddly, just as their name suggests. These little “pocket parrots” are colorful additions to a family and a relatively low-maintenance bird for beginner owners. There are a total of 9 species of lovebird currently discovered globally. Not all of these species are commonly kept as pets. Three of these species are most popular to keep as loving companions. Habitat and History of Lovebirds All of the lovebird species that we have found call the continent of Africa their home. Lovebirds tend to live in small flocks in the wild. They are all part of the Agapornis family and are closely related. There are only three lovebird species that are commonly kept in captivity. These include the Rosy-Faced Lovebird, Fischer’s Lovebird, and the Black Masked Lovebird. Many lovebird species have two or more common names, making it easier to refer to them by their scientific names in general conversation. Image Credit Praveen Kumar Varshney, Shutterstock In the wild, some lovebird populations are becoming a cause for concern. These include the Nyasa, Fischer’s, and Black-Cheeked Lovebirds. They are not on the endangered species list yet, but they all fall into “threatened” and “vulnerable” categories. In captivity, these birds are thriving. They are some of the most popular bird species to own as pets since they are so active and exciting. They have curious personalities and remain forever playful and social. They often form intense bonds with their owners and are known to be affectionate birds. 1. Rosy-Faced or Peach-Faced Lovebird Agapornis roseicollis Image Credit Tracy Starr, Shutterstock Rosy/peach-faced lovebirds are the most common lovebird species to own as a pet. Their beautiful plumage and cute faces are what most of us picture when we think of a lovebird. They are relatively easy to care for as well but can get aggressive at times. It is best to be careful with them when you first begin your interactions. Appearance The common names for lovebirds often describe their appearance, and this one is no different. They have rosy pink faces and throats. They tend to have a darker orange or red shade above their eyes and on their forehead. The plumage across the majority of their body is dark green, fading into a black rump. Their feet and legs are grey. These beautiful birds typically have dark brown or black eyes with a horn-colored beak. Habitat The Rosy-Faced Lovebird is native to dry areas within Southwest Africa. They are not picky with their surroundings and will live in open countrysides, woodlands, mountains, and even semi-desert regions near water sources. Size This species of lovebird is cute and relatively small. They total about 7-8 inches from head to tail tip and only weigh just under 2 ounces. 2. Black-Masked or Yellow-Collared Lovebirds Agapornis personata Image Credit Chichkanova Anastasiia, Shutterstock This lovebird has two common names since there isn’t a significant agreement regarding which of their features are more prominent the black masking on their face or the bright yellow collar underneath. They are another common pet species and are a bit easier to own since they tend to be less aggressive than Rosy-Faced Lovebirds. Appearance Starting from the top, these birds have a black head that looks like a mask around their eyes and beak. The mask feature is made even more prominent by the white rings around their black or deep brown eyes. Their beaks are also brilliant in a bright, stand-out red. Underneath all of this is a collar of bright yellow fading quickly into a green that runs the length of their bodies. Sometimes their wings or tails can have blue accents. Their feet and legs are grey. Habitat The Black-Masked Lovebird is not as widespread as the Rosy-Faced Lovebird. They are native only to the northeast of Tanzania. However, their subspecies have been introduced into Kenya and Burundi with some success. Size Males are slightly larger than females in this species. However, the birds still won’t weigh over ounces and are often even smaller than Rosy-Faced Lovebirds, coming in at a maximum of about inches.

Fischer’s Lovebirds Agapornis fischeri Image Credit Danita Delimont, Shutterstock Fischer’s Lovebirds are the last of the common pet species, but they stand out from the crowd with their brilliant and highly varied plumage colors. They are popular because of their extremely playful nature, but they tend to be quieter than other parrot or lovebird species. They are energetic and social and are often very good at bonding. Appearance The Fischer’s Lovebird is primarily covered in vibrant green-blue plumage with slight color changes across the chest, wings, and back. This color fades into a golden yellow on their neck and steadily turns orange and brown on the tops of their heads. They have dark orange beaks and rings of white around their eyes. Habitat These birds are only native to Africa’s small region along Lake Victoria’s southern belt in Tanzania. Climate change has caused some of them to migrate to Rwanda and Burundi. Size These are among the smallest lovebird species, only reaching about 5 inches from head to tail and weighing between ounces. 4. Nyasa or Lilian’s Lovebirds Agapornis lilianae Image Credit Ward Poppe, Shutterstock Nyasa, or Lilian’s Lovebirds, can sometimes be found in captivity. However, they are often only kept by breeders or collectors since they are so difficult to breed. They are one of the populations that are in relative danger of dying out. They are one of the least studied of the lovebird species, partially since they are rare. Appearance The Nyasa Lovebird appears relatively similar to Fischer’s Lovebird but with much more gentle colors. The front of their face and the top of their head is a rosy red or orange shade. This fades into light orange and then yellow down their heads and on their chest. The rest of their body is a bright green, with some blue tint on the wings. They have a white ring around their black eyes and a bright orange beak. Habitat These birds have a wider native region but far fewer and smaller flocks. They live in areas of Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Size These little lovebirds come to a whopping maximum of inches from the top of their heads to their tails. They have less mass than other species, weighing between ounces. 5. Black-Cheeked Lovebirds Agapornis nigrigenis Image Credit Smiler99, Shutterstock The Black-Cheeked Lovebird is not to be confused with the Black-Masked Lovebird. They were initially thought to be a subspecies of the Nyasa Lovebird but have since been recognized as an individual species. Appearance These birds are primarily covered in dark green plumage on their wings and lime green on their underside. This fades into a light brown on their chest and then into an orange. The top of their head and around the beak is a dark brown with white circles around their eyes. They have bright red beaks. Habitat Black-Cheeked Lovebirds are native to southwestern Zambia. Some of them have been spotted in Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana as they migrate for water sources. Size These birds average inches in length and weigh about ounces at their heaviest.

Black-Winged or Abyssinian Lovebird Agapornis taranta Image Credit Martin Kominko, Shutterstock The Abyssinian Lovebird has quite a different appearance compared to the other lovebird species featured above. They are rare to find anywhere, although they have been gaining some popularity as pets throughout recent years. Appearance These birds have a bright red beak and head and do not have rings around their eyes. From the top of their head to the bottom of their tail, they are vibrant shades of green. The only exception is their black underwing. Sometimes, females are entirely green without any shades of black or red on their bodies. Habitat The Abyssinian Lovebirds are native to the mountainous regions of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Size These birds are usually larger than the other species of lovebirds. They are normally 6-7 inches long and weigh an average of ounces. 7. Madagascar or Grey-Headed Lovebirds Agapornis cana Image Credit David Havel, Shutterstock The Madagascar Lovebird is native to Madagascar and can be found on some neighboring islands as well. They are not currently kept in captivity. Appearance Males and females have different color patterns in this lovebird species. Females are entirely covered in green plumage with some darker shades on their wings and along their back. Sometimes it is paler on their chest. Males are entirely covered in a pale grey color, almost looking off-white. Habitat These birds are native to the island of Madagascar and live within a rainforest environment since they need plenty of water to survive. They can also be found on some neighboring islands. Size Madagascar Lovebirds are the smallest of all of the lovebird species and measure 5 inches or less in length and weigh between ounces. 8. Red-Faced Lovebirds Agapornis pullaria Image Credit Ward Poppe, Shutterstock Red-faced Lovebirds are beautiful and have an attractive demeanor. This combination has resulted in many attempts to breed them in captivity, all of which have been met with failure. They have particular needs that only their native environment can satisfy in nesting, companionship, and diet. Appearance Red-faced Lovebirds have stunning green plumage all over their bodies, tails, and necks. Their only color difference appears on the front of their faces, forehead, and beak. This color is normally a peachy-orange. Habitat The Red-Faced Lovebirds have the largest native area. They can be found throughout all of the tropical rainforests of Africa that run along the equator. The countries they show up in include Uganda, Sierra Leone, Angola, and Liberia. Size They are about 6 inches long when they reach full maturity, and they normally weigh around ounces. 9. Black-Collared or Swindern’s Lovebird Image Credit Stavenn Agapornis swindernianus 00, Stavenn, Wikimedia Commons SA Unported The Black-Collared Lovebird is another scarce species. They are not kept in captivity since they have a specific requirement for native figs in their diet. They are also quite shy of all creatures and are typically spotted very high in the trees they call their home. Appearance These birds only have a few markings on their body to set them apart since they are primarily covered with green plumage. Otherwise, they have a distinctive black collar around the back of their neck. Habitat These birds also have a large range of land that they can potentially call home. This includes the rainforests of Africa, similar to the species featured above. You find them in the Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Central African Republic, Uganda, and Liberia. Size This species is average for lovebirds, being about 5 inches long from top to tail and weighing around ounces.

As days seem longer and you think of creative ways to add a bit of excitement to your life, consider adopting a parrot. Adopting a parrot is one of the most rewarding and exhilarating things a person can do, plus it’s a lot easier than you might realize. As long as you take the time necessary to go through and see which parrot is best suited for you, you’ll be able to pinpoint precisely what species is the perfect combo for you. Remember to keep factors such as your living situation and budget as the two primary reasons for which parrot you consider. Still, it’s vital to note that there are 350 different species of parrots in the world, meaning there’s plenty of parrots available for you to consider adopting. As great as it’d be to discuss every species of parrot, that’d take a lengthy post to do so. Instead, let’s discuss lovebirds and the nine different species of lovebirds that you can adopt. Keep in mind, only a few of these lovebirds are available as pets because of their availability, it’s still worth highlighting their differences and what makes each species unique to their own. No matter what lovebirds you end up adopting, it’s essential to know the differences and similarities between the nine species. Nevertheless, down below, let’s discuss aspects such as their features, personality, where they’re native to, and lifespan. By the end of it, you’ll have a wide range of information related to lovebirds for you to take a deeper dive on. Without further ado, let’s get started! Rosy-Faced Lovebird As you can imagine by the name of a Rosy-Faced Lovebird, they’re one of the most unique and compelling lovebird species due to their peach-colored face. Besides their face, their body is almost entirely green and tends to vary slightly in shade depending on their sex. They’re native to Southwestern Africa and are most prominently found in the Namib Desert. As for their lifespan, they typically live around 12 to 15 years, meaning they don’t have too long of a time on this planet, unfortunately. Like many other lovebirds, they’re very small and are 5 to 6 inches in length while only weighing to 2 ounces. Personality-wise, they’re alert and mischievous despite what their compact size might infer. Because of their small size, expect them to be escape experts when it comes to their surroundings and showing interest in what’s around them. Fischer’s Lovebird If you see a Rosy-Faced Lovebird next to a Fischer’s Lovebird, it might be challenging to tell the difference between them. However, if you look hard enough, a Fischer’s Lovebird is more multi-colored around its head. Natively, Fischer’s Lovebirds come from North-Central Tanzania and inhabit grasslands, woodlands, savannahs, and scrub forests. Like many other lovebirds, they, unfortunately, have a lifespan of only 12 to 15 years, so make sure you give everything they deserve during their short life. They’re usually 5 to 6 inches in length and weigh 1 to ounces. As for their personality, Fischer’s Lovebirds have plenty of energy, making them extremely lively and perfect to be around a large family that wants to show affection and have fun. Although their energetic, they tend to be a bit gentler, making them great to be around children. Related Posts Yellow-Collared Lovebird A Yellow-Collared Lovebird is a lovebird with a green body, yellow neck, and a dark face. Their beak is usually a shade of red, but their yellow collar is their most dominating feature, thus why they’re named the way they are. They’re native to Northeast Tanzania and have been introduced to Burundi and Kenya. Yellow-Collared Lovebirds can live a touch longer than the previous lovebirds on this list by having an expected lifespan of 10 to 20 years. They’re usually inches in length and weigh around to 2 ounces, making them in the same size range as the other lovebirds. Personality-wise, Yellow-Collared Lovebirds are vivacious and energetic creatures, meaning they desire a lot of attention and time to play. Always be mindful of what they need and see what you can do to give them everything they’ll need and more. Lilian’s Lovebird Lilian’s Lovebird has a somewhat similar appearance to a Rosy-Faced Lovebird but differs in their color combination of yellow with their redder face. Besides their green, yellow, and red body, they’re native to Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. They’re also an endangered species, with less than 20,000 of them left in the world. Part of the reason they’re endangered is because of their short lifespan, as most of them only live 10 to 12 years. Size-wise, they’re only 5 inches long and weigh around ounces, making them the smallest lovebird discussed so far. As for their personality, they’re active, curious, and feisty creatures, meaning they might show an issue if they don’t get what they want. Always try to give them everything they’ll need, otherwise, you may run into issues down the line with how they feel about you. Grey Headed Lovebird For a totally different looking lovebird, the Grey Headed Lovebird is a very distinctive looking lovebird because of its green body with an entirely grey head. It almost doesn’t seem like they’re a real lovebird, but they are. Nevertheless, they’re native to Madagascar, making them a challenge to find out in the wild. They tend to have an average lifespan of 16 years, making them right in the average range compared to most other lovebirds. As for their size, they’re the smallest species of lovebirds, being just under 5 inches in length while weighing around an ounce. As for their personality, they’re an incredibly loving creature, making them a perfect addition to any household that has the means to properly raise them. They’re also curious creatures, meaning you should always be aware of what they might try to get into. Black-Cheeked Lovebird Although they have a small size like most other lovebirds, a Black-Cheeked Lovebird is one of the most impressive looking lovebirds due to their black cheeks. Besides having a black face, they tend to have a shade of red around it and an all-green body. They’re native to Zambia and are found in other neighboring countries in Africa. They tend to have an average lifespan of 13 to 14 years, making them fall under the average lifespan attached to lovebirds. Size-wise, they’re roughly inches in length and weigh around ounces. Considering their size, make sure you have a cage for them that they can’t get out of. Unlike many other lovebirds, Black-cheeked Lovebirds are docile and peaceful creatures. However, it’s vital to note that if it’s too loud and noisy, they may get disturbed and cause them a great deal of stress. As a result, make sure you’re mindful of their surrounding. Red-Headed Lovebird For another interesting looking lovebird, we have the Red-Headed Lovebird, an all-green lovebird with a gorgeously bright redhead. Like many other lovebirds, they’re native to Africa and can be found all over the continent. They typically have an average lifespan of 19 to 20 years, making them have a bit more time in this world than other lovebirds. As for their size, they’re usually around 6 inches in length and a weight around ounces, making them very small like most other lovebirds. Personality-wise, Red-Headed Lovebirds are active, curious, and playful, all traits that are a part of an impactful personality. Because they’re so social, they tend to form deep bonds with their human counterpart, so make sure you spend a good amount of quality time with them. Black-Winged Lovebird For yet another lovebird that has a random color difference on a specific part of their body, we have the Black-Winged Lovebird. These lovely little creatures are green with a red face and have a black wing if you hadn’t guessed it. They’re native to Ethiopia and are one of the best lovebirds in Africa. They tend to have an average lifespan of 15 to 16 years, just like the many other lovebirds found on this list. They’re a bit bigger than most other lovebirds by being to inches in length and are usually 2 ounces weight-wise. As for their personality, they’re incredibly social creatures, making them a must to be paired with other parrots. Besides being social, they love attention and to enjoy affection more than anything else. Always make sure you take an appropriate amount of time out of your day dedicated to them. Black-collared Lovebird Last up on our list of lovebirds we have the Black-collared Lovebird, a small light green lovebird that’s native to equatorial Africa. They can typically be found in the forests of Cameroon, Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, and Uganda. They typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, similar to the other species of lovebirds on this list. Size-wise, they’re very small and are around 5 inches in length and weigh roughly to ounces, making them one of the smallest lovebirds on this list. Personality-wise, they’re small bundles of energy as they love to be active and have fun. Always take a substantial chunk of time every day dedicated to them, as it’ll go a long way with their longevity and their happiness. Normal Peachfaced Lovebird.
