1. There's more than one species of lovebird.

The nine species classified as lovebirds come all from the genus Agapornis. Most lovebirds have
a green body and sport different head feather coloration. Their closest relatives are hanging
parrots, found in Asia. 

2. Lovebirds are from Africa.

Lovebirds are native to the forests and savannas of Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Fossils
of ancient lovebird species have been unearthed in South Africa, dating to as far back as 1.9
million years ago. 

3. But you might see a lovebird at your backyard birdfeeder. 

That's if you live in the American southwest, San Francisco or cities in Africa. These areas are
home to feral populations, flocks that likely either escaped from an aviary or are the remnants of
an abandoned aviary. 

4. Lovebirds live in holes.

Lovebirds are cavity dwellers they make their home in holes in trees, rocks or shrubs in the wild.
Some species nest in groups, while others pair off to build their nests away from the flock. In
urban settings, they might rely on anything from a tree to a crevice in a building.
