Love bird (Peony parakeet) - Love bird
A general term for birds of the Agapornis genus in the Psittacidae family. A small, adorable parrot with a total length of 10-15cm, its English name comes from the close friendship between a male and female pair, who spend hours perching close together on a branch, touching beaks or resting their heads on each other's bodies. They have short tails and stocky bodies. They are popular as pets. Approximately eight species are found in Africa and Madagascar. Their feathers are green above and yellow-green below, with different head colors depending on the species.
