Peach-Faced or Rosy-Cheeked Lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis) are an affectionate small parrot for sale and are widely regarded as one of the most beautiful lovebird species. Their name stems from the parrots’ strong, monogamous pair bonding and the long periods which paired birds spend sitting together. Provided with adequate space, a stimulating environment, and appropriate nutrition, a lovebird can become a cherished companion parrot. They love to snuggle and often preen their favorite people. Establishing a bond with gentle handling is important. There are two subspecies of A. roseicollis; these are A. roseicollis roseicollis, and A. roseicollis catumbella.  Agapornis roseicollis catumbella can be recognized by its brighter colors. The throat is much redder with a touch of lavender. The green color is much deeper, and the rump is more purple than blue. The beak is also much different than that described above; it is white with green dots.

Geography: Peach-faced lovebirds have a range centered on the south-western portion of Africa. They inhabit the north-west corner of South Africa, through the western half of Namibia, and into the southwest corner of Angola. The area around Lake Ngami is quickly becoming populated by A. roseicollis due to natural range expansion. This species is kept as a cage bird in many parts of the world, including the United States and Japan. Agapornis roseicollis catumbella is less common than A. roseicollis roseicollis, and it typically inhabits the small region of Benguela, an area of Angola.
