Lovebirds are popular pets because of their beauty, small size, and endearing habit of sitting together in bonded pairs for long periods of time. Native to Africa, the nine species of lovebirds are among the smallest parrots in the world, growing only 5-7 inches in length. And unlike full-sized macaws, cockatiels, and other such birds that can live up to 60 years, lovebirds survive on average only 10-12 years. This might sound like a strange “advantage” to these animals as pets, but it means adopting a pair is not a lifelong or multi-generational commitment. If you’ve been thinking about bringing lovebirds into your home, you’re at the right place
