About Lovebirds




Did you know that the lovebird gets its name from its seemingly affectionate behaviour, cuddling and snuggling up to its owner or to a fellow lovebird? In Germany, the birds are called "die Unzertrennlichen" and in France, they are known as "les inseparables"", meaning "the inseparables" in both languages. Parrot specialists differ on whether it's better to own pairs of lovebirds (for the company they provide one another) or to let a single bird bond more closely with its human owner. Pairs of lovebirds are renowned for their sleeping position - sitting side by side with their faces turned towards one another.

Eight of the nine species of lovebird are native to continental Africa, and the ninth comes from Madagascar, off the coast of east Africa. The different species vary in markings and color - blue, green, and yellow are the most common, and the peach-faced lovebird is one of the most popular species. Lovebirds have relatively large beaks, a stocky build, and a blunt tail. In the wild, they eat vegetables, grains, and fruits. Lovebirds who have been taught at an early age may learn to talk, but most don't. Even the non-talkers are very vocal, often making loud, high-pitched squawks, particularly in the morning hours.







Thank YOU for your visits and comments!

Members of Clay's Official Fan Club
know we have a new format at the blogger pages. It uses a code called Textism, a whole new and very different language to learn.
It's got a lot of us but we are learning bit by bit.

If anyone out there is familiar with this and knows of a really good and easy to follow help site for this, please let us know!!


When you think you've run out of patience,
remember how there's always a bit more toothpaste in the tube.
You just have to squeeze harder!!

#144 So Proud of Our Man

Ashes is my grandsons' pup. When I started blogging I needed an user name, so I borrowed hers. Good photos have been hard to come by as she is totally black and blends in with the family black sofa, usually showing only her eyes!
