Scientific Name: Agapornis Roseicollis
The rosy-faced lovebird, also known as the rosy-collared or peach-faced lovebird, is a of lovebird native to arid regions in southwestern Africa such as the Namib Desert. As popular as they are cute, peach-faced lovebirds owe their "animal magnetism" as much to their clown-like personalities and stunning plumage as to their tendency to breed like bunnies. They are wonderful pets, in pairs or as a single bird, brightening any home with pleasant chattering and entertaining antics.
Always alert and mischievous, the peach-faced lovebird is a good escape artist and is always energetic and ready to play. If kept in pairs, these birds tend to love the "married life," to the possible exclusion of the owner. If kept alone and given frequent attention, the peach-faced lovebird is as loving as the family lap dog. If neglected, even for a few weeks, many Lovebirds tend to revert and become snappish. The peach face is not a terribly noisy bird, but is prone to bouts of chattering and whistling in the morning, evening, and when excited.ch shorter span of about 23 years in the wild.
