What are the biggest differences between Parrotlets and Lovebirds?

Hello!

These birds are about the same size, I think they’re both really cute, and they can be feisty. But what are the differences in behaviour? I want a single bird that will bond with the family. And I’d like him to be funny, clownish, doing his own thing.

Thanks in advance, I love this website!

Answer:

Hi Peter!

This is a great question. Personally, I think Parrotlets are much more in line with the qualities you’re looking for. They are also more likely to talk than Lovebirds. 🙂

God bless,
