Black Masked Love Bird

Love birds are among the commonest pets worldwide. Though peachfaced love birds are the most common avian pets, black masked love birds rank quite high on the popularity charts.

These colorful parrots are committed to their mates, and the whole day is spent preening, cooing and billing. The birds live for at least eighteen to twenty years, if good care is taken of them.

Black masked love birds easily speak, if taught from an early age. They have a squeaky voice, which makes their speech difficult-to-understand. Female black masked love birds can become very nippy over a period of time, so the male of the species make better pets for the people who wish to handle them. Color mutations of these love birds have been established long ago and black masked love birds are now available in quite a lot of colors.

In the wild, the plateau in the east and south Tanzania sees the abundance of black eyed love birds and they are the natives of this geographical location. Find more on this bird from My Dear Valentine .
