How to identify Rosy-faced lovebird
Rosy-faced lovebirds are small parrots with striking green plumage that shines particularly brightly on the wings and back. Their face and forehead are bathed in a strong rosy pink to apricot that clearly stands out from the rest of the body colour.
The birds grow to about 15 centimetres in length and look very compact due to their rounded build. A characteristic feature is their short tail, which is often blue at the sides. The beak is pale, almost ivory-coloured and powerfully shaped.
