A Lovebird is one of nine species of the genus Agapornis. They are a social and affectionate small parrot. Seven species are native to the African continent, while the Grey-headed Lovebird is native to Madagascar. Their name stems from the parrots' strong, monogamous pair bonding and the long periods which paired birds spend sitting together. Lovebirds live in small flocks and eat fruit, vegetables, grasses and seed. Black-winged Lovebirds also eat insects and figs, and the Black-collared Lovebirds have a special dietary requirement for native figs, making them problematic to keep in captivity.
Some species are kept as pets, and several color mutations were selectively bred in aviculture. Their average lifespan is 10 to 15 years.
Since lovebirds present beautiful things, there is a song named as Lovebird by LeonaLewis. Here is the song:
Oh oh
I will lay down next to you
Stay in bed all afternoon
We were birds of a feather
We were always together
And I never will forget
All the little things you said
And that beautiful summer, used to call me a love bird
But the time went on, the wait is blown, and I have gone
And a scar that I feel in
And my wings have been broken
And I can't believe
That I would ever want to be set free
But I just can't stay
So your lovebird's flyin' away
Your lovebird's flyin' away away
Is my heart's been stuck in a cage
I sing my song, so pretty
Dum, dum, diddy
And I miss you everyday
But there's nothing left to say
I sing my song, so pretty
Dum, dum, diddy
I want the world in my feet
Even if it's bittersweet
Wanna stand on my own and
Put my heart in my own hands
Cause I've began to see that you and me are different breeds
So I gotta believe in
Gotta get back to breathing
And I can't believe
That I would ever want to be set free
But I just can't stay
So your lovebird's flyin' away
Your lovebird's flyin' away away
Is my heart's been stuck in a cage
I sing my song, so pretty
Dum, dum, diddy
And I miss you everyday
But there's nothing left to say
I sing my song, so pretty
Dum, dum, diddy
And you'll always be
A part of me
You made me who I am
But I gotta say I'm not afraid to test my wingspan
Cause it seems when you love something
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Open up the gate
Your lovebird's flyin' away away
Is my heart's been stuck in a cage
I sing my song, so pretty
Dum, dum, diddy
And I miss you everyday
But there's nothing left to say
I sing my song, so pretty
Dum, dum, diddy
