How to Keep a Lovebird As a Pet

Lovebirds are little parrots with colorful plumes and fun personalities. As pets, these little birds are devoted and playful with their owners. With the appropriate care and attention, a lovebird can live for 8 to 12 years, or longer. One common myth surrounding keeping lovebirds as pets is that they need to be kept in pairs for their own wellbeing, otherwise they will suffer or die. In fact, most lovebird breeders argue for keeping lovebirds as single pets, with the owner acting as the lovebird’s flock.
