One of the eye-ring family of Lovebirds, Fischer's lovebirds are a completely different species from Peachfaces. These birds also come in a variety of colors, from the wild-type green to the dramatic lutino and captivating albino. Birds who were hand-fed make excellent pets. Parent raised lovebirds can be difficult to tame. When considering the purchase of a lovebird you should take into account the fact that they are full of energy, and can be quite noisy with their endless chattering and shrill scream, although not anywhere nearly as loud as the larger parrots.
Affectionate and intelligent, Lovebirds can be taught to give kisses, step-up, wave a foot, and many other tricks. As with most hookbills, Lovebirds also have the ability to learn to whistle and, very occassionally, posess limited talking ability.

Peachfaced Love Birds are the most common Love Bird species in captivity. They usually breed freely, and are an excellent species for beginning and expert breeders alike.

The Australian Cinnamon is a very pale yellow-green, slightly darker than a lutino, though lighter than an American Cinnamon. Expensive and hard to find just a few years ago, Australian Cinnamons are becoming more and more commonplace. Cinnamon babies of either type are easy to identify in the nest, because their eyes are paler than the dark eyes of normal chicks, though not the totally red eyes of the lutino. The eyes darken as the chicks mature, and though they probably still are "redder" than the normal eye, they appear black, just as in a normal peachie. Young Cinnamons do have a dark marking on the beak, though the patch is much lighter in shade than the deep black mark on the beak of a Normal Green Peachfaced baby. A Lutino baby has no dark mark on its beak

The Black-masked lovebird in particular has an overall black head and the true plumage color is green with a yellow collar. Another consistent characteristic of this species is a white ring that encircles both eyes. Other than the traditional green, lovebirds of this species have also been seen in a variety of color morphs, one of the most popular in the western region of the world is the blue morph.

Lovebirds, in general, are small, stocky versions of parrots and are considered "Old world parrots." They usually grow to about an average of fifteen centimeters long depending on care and diet. Lovebirds have a larger hooked upper mandible or beak that is hinged to the skull, and a reversible fourth toe.

There are two types of budgerigars. The American budgerigar is generally called a parakeet. The English budgerigar is generally called a budgie. They belong to the broad-tailed tribe of the parrot family.

An English budgie has fuller feathering around the face and is larger than the American parakeet and is often used in shows and exhibitions. Most pet stores carry the smaller American parakeet.

While budgies are quieter than most parrots, they can be noisy and they are extremely friendly, active and playful. Budgies can be taught to talk although they are not always easy to understand because they have such tiny voices. In fact, the world’s record for the number of words learned by a bird has been held by a budgie.
