Keeping and Taming Lovebirds (Agapornis)
Lovebirds (Agapornis) are small, pretty, affordable African parrots that cannot mimic human speech clearly but copy other birds and animals well. Keep them in pairs or flocks in a sturdy cage, bathe them weekly in summer and dry in sun, and feed varied seed, millet, oyster shell, and fruit. For chicks, use wood-shaving bedding, keep warmth above 25°C, and build a call signal during feeding so they bond and recognize you.

Talking takes patient training, and sexes differ in beak and throat color. It needs a roomy cage or a tether, a varied diet, and an owner willing to invest time.
