Los Inseparables
Reino: Animalia
Filo: Chordata
Clase: Aves
Orden: Psittaciformes
Familia: Psittacidae
Genero: Agapornis

A lovebird (genus Agapornis, Greek for “lovebird”) is a very social and affectionate parrot. The name lovebird stems from their affectionate nature. They form a very close bond with their mate, which will usually last their entire life. This is reflected by their name in other languages: in German they are called “die Unzertrennlichen” and in French “les inse’parables” – “inseparables”. For this reason it is often believed that lovebirds in captivity can only be kept in pairs.
This is, however, a myth as a lovebird – like other parrots – is a social animal which needs a great deal of care and attention from its flock mates be they other lovebirds or humans. It is, therefore, possible for a lovebird to bond with their owner, given a lot of love and attention.
Lovebirds are about 13-17 cm in size, 40-60 grams in weight and characterized by a small, stocky build and a short, blunt tail. This puts them among the smallest parrots in the world. The beak is rather large for their overall size. Many lovebirds are green, although color mutations can feature many different colors. Some lovebird species, like Fischer’s, black cheeked and the yellow collared lovebird, have a white ring around the eye. Its lifespan is 10 to 15 years.

Bueno, mi tio es un Avicultor, y hay un “Agapornis” de las ocho especies con mi segundo apellido (Su primer apellido). Bueno, creo que eso es…

Species Eight of the different species come from the mainland of Africa. The ninth species, the agapornis canus, originates from Madagascar. In the wild the different species are separated geographically. Lovebirds live in small flocks and eat mainly fruit, vegetables, some grasses and seed.
Black-winged lovebirds also enjoy figs. Only some of the lovebird species are sexually dimorphic. This includes the black-winged lovebird, the grey headed lovebird, and the black collared lovebird. There are a total of 9 different species:
