The African Lovebirds are stout bundle of mind-blowing colors with little rounded tails. These Lovebirds are highly social in nature and are characteristically noisy. Noise symbolizes contentment. African Lovebirds are intelligent and they are better off alone or in pairs. These birds do not usually live in colonies because they tend to fight with each other if they do not get enough space for themselves.

African Lovebirds are small parrots. They are stout, colorful little parrots about 13 cm long with a short rounded tail. They are dimorphic too, male having a grey mask, just like the black mask in masked lovebirds. The bill is light colored and feet are light grey. The female, on the other hand, is completely green. Their beaks are small, even in relation to their body size.

The African Lovebirds as the name suggests, originated from Madagascar and Africa. They caught man's attention in the middle of the nineteenth century and have since been captivated by man in both his imagination and reality.
