What the author of this article fails to mention is that we -- yes, Matt and I -- have a colony of lovebirds living around our house, and coming to visit whenever we put out bird seed (which is usually Saturday afternoons). They're out there right now. Our Peach-faced lovebirds (agapornis roseicollis, pictured) are wonderful. We first noticed them in our backyard about five or so years ago. There were a few at first, and now there are many more -- not flocks of them, but more than a couple.
I'm not sure what the author means about their screetchy singing. We think it's cute. It's the most distinct sound we can hear. We have lots of birds in our backyard (amazing, considering how we live in a desert). We have woodpeckers, flickers, sparrows, finches, Inca doves, mourning doves, hummingbirds, and a handful of other birds we can't quite identify. No matter, we love animals, and they are all welcomed on our backyard!
