The Birdorable Peach-faced Lovebird

Peach-faced Lovebirds, also called Rosy-faced Lovebirds, are native to dry areas in southwestern Africa. They are gregarious, social birds. A loud and constant chirper, these birds are very social animals and often congregate in small groups in the wild. They eat throughout the day and take frequent baths. Coloration can vary widely among populations but females are generally darker and greener, while males are smaller and brighter. Lovebirds are renowned for their sleep position in which they sit side-by-side and turn their faces in towards each other. Aww, isn't that cute?! Also super-cute, females are known to tear raw materials into long strips, 'twisty-tie' them onto their backs, and fly distances back to make a nest.
