Lovebird - Special Seed Mix
Lovebirds, scientifically known as Agapornis, are among the most cherished small parrot species in the avian world. Originating from Africa and Madagascar, these birds are widely recognized for their vibrant plumage, playful personality, and strong social bonds. The name “Lovebird” comes from their affectionate nature, as they are often seen sitting closely in pairs, grooming one another, and showcasing remarkable companionship.
Small in size, typically ranging between 5 to 7 inches, Lovebirds may be compact but carry immense charm. They are highly intelligent, active, and curious birds that thrive on interaction, mental stimulation, and companionship. Their lively behavior makes them delightful pets, especially for bird enthusiasts seeking a colorful and engaging feathered friend.
In terms of care, Lovebirds require a clean and balanced diet consisting of high-quality seed mixes, fresh fruits, vegetables, and supplements to maintain optimal health.

Key Features
1. Bio-Security Treated Seeds
Every seed in our mix undergoes a strict bio-security process. This includes anti-fungal treatment that prevents the growth of harmful fungi such as Aspergillus, which can cause serious respiratory infections in birds. Additionally, the mix is treated to eliminate bad bacteria that often grow in untreated seeds and may lead to digestive or immune-related health problems.
2. Enhanced Digestion
Birds have a delicate digestive system that can sometimes struggle with raw seeds when kept in controled environment. To address this, our seed mix is enriched with special enzymes that aid in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. These enzymes improve gut health, reduce digestive stress, and maximize nutrient utilization, ensuring that birds get the most from every seed they consume.
3. Immunity-Boosting Formula
A strong immune system is essential for protecting birds against common infections. Our blend is fortified with immunity-enhancing agents that help strengthen their natural defenses. This means your birds are better equipped to fight off seasonal illnesses, bacterial challenges, and environmental stressors.
4. Species-Specific Nutrition
Unlike generic bird seed blends, The Aviarist seed mix is specially crafted for species specific, keeping their natural habitat and dietary patterns in mind. The selected seeds provide the right balance of proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals that match their natural dietary needs.

Lovebird
The Little Parrot Full of Love and Personality
The Lovebird (Agapornis), named for its affectionate nature and strong pair bonding, is one of the most popular small parrot species in aviculture. These vibrant birds belong to the parrot family Psittaculidae and are admired worldwide for their playful nature, bright colors, and loving companionship.
Appearance
Lovebirds are small parrots, usually measuring 5–7 inches in length, with a stocky build, short blunt tails, and a hooked beak. They are available in a wide range of brilliant colors due to selective breeding, including green, yellow, blue, violet, peach, and pied combinations.
Common species of Lovebirds include:
- Peach-faced Lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) - The most popular species, known for its peach to orange-colored face.
- Fischer’s Lovebird (Agapornis fischeri) - Recognized by its orange face and green body.

Personality and Behavior
Lovebirds are known for their curious, playful, and affectionate personalities. They are highly social birds that thrive on interaction with their human companions or with another Lovebird partner. Their name comes from their tendency to form strong, lifelong pair bonds, often seen sitting closely together and preening each other.
Although small, Lovebirds have big personalities. They are active, intelligent, and enjoy exploring, chewing, and playing with toys. With proper taming, they can become very hand-friendly and affectionate. However, without regular socialization, they may become territorial or nippy.
Care and Diet
Lovebirds require a balanced diet and plenty of stimulation to stay healthy and happy. Their diet should include:
- High-quality seed mix specially designed for small parrots.
- Fresh fruits and vegetables such as seasonal fruits, spinach, broccoli and corn.
- Cuttlebone or mineral blocks as a calcium source for feathers, bone and beak conditioning.
Lovebirds are very active, so they need a spacious cage with horizontal bars for climbing, chewable toys, and opportunities for daily exercise. With proper care, Lovebirds can live 10–15 years.
