My Feathered Friends
In our house, the only pet I consider I have are our lovebirds. We have diverse love birds that I am taking care of. The rosy-faced lovebird, fischer's lovebird, yellow-collared lovebird, black-cheeked lovebird, lilian's lovebird and a lot more to mention.
Lovebirds are one of the most popular pet parrot species, and for those who are familiar with them, it's no surprise. Beautiful and intelligent, these little birds have been one of the most beloved types of African parrot for over 100 years. But even lovebirds are type of parrot they normally don't have the ability to mimic human speech. They are also known as one of the smallest members of the parrot family. On average, most Lovebirds fall between 5 and 7 inches in length at maturity, when measured from the beak to the end of the tailfeathers. Their small size has worked to push their popularity among those who live in apartments and other small spaces. That's why I have found it easier to house and care for these little birds instead of attempting to keep a larger parrot species.
Petting lovebirds is a extremely difficult task to because just like all parrots, lovebirds are very active birds that need quite a bit of exercise to stay in top physical condition. Those interested in adopting a lovebird must be willing and prepared to give their feathered friend a bird-safe place to play outside of its cage for several hours per day. This will allow the bird to exercise all of the muscle groups that it needs to stay healthy, as well as provide important mental stimulation that these very intelligent animals need.
