It's a Fishers Lovebird. I had one and I miss him. T_T They will become attached to a person if you don't give them a bird to love. Mine constantly banged on his cage when he saw people.. and it got irritating. I liked to let him out and fly around, but he was obnoxious at that too cuz he would poop everywhere, hump my stuffed animals, and put holes in my shirt. But I loved him and he was a sweet bird.

If you get one, I suggest clipping their wings and spending lots of time with it so it will get used to you.

The only 100% accurate way of determining the sex of your bird is to have a DNA blood test performed. Your vet may also be able to tell by examining the bird. You can also find out yourself if you know how.

2nd poster here...

It is said that they will die if their mate dies. My bird was ok after my sister moved out of the house and when I left the country for 9 months. But, when I left again for 3 weeks he passed away. I don't know if it was old age or lonliness, but I miss him!!!

Lovebirds tend to fall into one of two categories, based on whether they're kept alone or in pairs: the couple will be the prettiest, cutest thing ever. Also the nastiest, bitiest, meanest thing to any people who'd try to interact with them; they get double as jealous are they are loving.

Then there's the single bird. They get attached to people much as they'd get attached to a bird. However they get dependent. Clingy. You can't leave them out of your sight for more than a couple of days, and having someone babysit them over that time won't do because they want _you_ and no one else. High-maintenance is a good description.

Prolly shouldn't get a lovebird, or a pair, unless you're experienced with birds. Pretty and non-fourlegged as though they might be, they're no less pets than a cat or a dog, and a potential owner should consider carefully whether they're going to be able to dedicate a significant portion of their lives to a bird who'll pass away like *that* if neglected.

What I'm trying to say here is that lovebirds aren't a first pet bird kind of thing. If it's a pretty bird they want, how about a cockatiel instead? They're cute, gentle, even-tempered and piles of fun to be around. Plus they'll tolerate multiple people rather than bonding to a single individual, as lovebirds would.
