In
the wild there are 9 species of lovebirds,
some species such as the peach face
are very common within aviculture, however
others such as the black-collared are
rarely seen or available within aviculture.
From this page I will illustrate all
9 species along with the available mutations.
Hopefully this will help you in choosing
future species & will greatly help
with the identification when you see
birds for sale.
As you will see within the nine species
of Agapornis species (lovebird) only
2 of the species can be visualy sexed
(sexually
dimorphic)
the Madagascar
or
Grey headed (Agapornis cana) and the
Abyssinian (Agapornis pullaria), wth
the remaining 7 species being very much
alike (sexually monomorphic).
