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.

Pick a cage with narrow bar spacing and solid quality to stop escapes, bond slowly with gentle handling and treats, and keep the coat clean with a sand bath about once a week. Because they are tiny and skittish, patience and a quiet environment matter most. This article covers their traits and the practical care routine.
