I love the pictures where you can see under her wings. Her colors are SO gorgeous.

Munch had better be careful though. If she gets much tamer she might have to give up her Queen of Mean title.

Owww so cute, I love LoveBirds! If I had more money and a even bigger cage I'd buy a couple. They look like tiny ringnecks :P

i would not cage them with other species of any kind. especially budgies. theyre very aggressive and are known to kill other birds. ive heard stories of them killing green cheek conures.

myself, munch has broken dally's toe.

on another forum im on, someones budgie lost his upper beak to her lovebird.


theyre a funny bird. you sometimes even cant cage them with their own kind. theyre cute, one of the cutest small birds you can get, but theyre nasty sometimes. theyre the right bird for the right person. i dont reccomend them to most people because so many people assume theyre sweet based on their name. their name is VERY deceptive.

I've heard of lovebirds killing cockatiels. The tiels are bigger but the lovies are fiercer.

Parrotlets are supposed to be worse, but as far as I know they aren't strong enough to kill anything but another parrotlet. But they're aggressive enough to attack large parrots like macaws, which frequently ends with the parrotlet getting killed. They say that the only bird you should cage with a parrotlet is a compatible parrotlet of opposite sex. Because if you put same-sex parrotlets together you will eventually be holding a bird funeral, even if they seem OK together at first.

I don't know how aggressive they are with humans, but they're big trouble with other birds. They look adorable though - so tiny!

Well I think it depends with the birds personalities, for example, I got my cockatiel and ringneck at the same time, and they're like brothers, and altho Darwin's a bit mean to him sometimes i dont think he'd ever want to kill him! Also I've heard ringnecks kill budgies... and after a year with them i had 0 casualties... and he's even in love with a DWARF budgie! Think he might have some issues lol
