I have been wanting a pair of lovebirds for a couple years now if not longer. I love parrots, but they are too expensive for me. I seen the cutest pair of lovebirds on Craigslist that I really wanted. I didn’t buy the birds when I seen the ad, but I kept thinking that I wished I would have bought them.
Luckily I had saved the person’s contact information and emailed her a couple days ago to see if she still had a pair left. She said she did not have a pair, but she did have the male left that was pictured on Craigslist. I got EXCITED. She then mentioned she wanted him to go to a home that had a female. I had already found a female that I liked on Craigslist so I asked her if it would be okay if I bought him and then buy him a mate. She said that would be good and I met her at the bank parking lot and purchased the pretty male. A couple hours I bought the female from another lady on Craigslist selling her female peach faced lovebird
Now I was hoping these two birds were going to like each other. I have a few cages so I would be able to separate them if needed, but a loving pair of lovebirds was my goal. So far they are getting along and happily sharing the swing. I think I might have made a good match.
The one thing about my new lovebirds is they don’t have names yet. Since they are a male and a female, I would love to give them a cute name for a pair like Jack and Jill.
Sheri says
I would probably name them something silly like Barney and Betty, lol.
Stefani says
That would be cute. For some reason I always think of the purple dinosaur when I think of the name Barney.
Tricia says

Gorgeous! Love the colors. No fab ideas for names… I suck at being clever.

Thanks! I just wish they were tame so I could hold them.
Kathleen says
They are so beautiful! I am horrible at picking names though.

Your lovebirds are so pretty! We used to have a parakeet but I’ve never had lovebirds. I think they are some of the prettiest birds!

This may sound corny- but I think “George and Gracie” fits- George and Gracie Burns had a love that lasted a lifetime and beyond.
Notorious Spinks says
They are beautiful. I had a bird once and I was afraid to touch it when it came time to clean the cage and other things. But they are cuties.
Tammy says
They are cute. I like the Ricky and Lucy idea.

I agree, the Ricky and Lucy idea is cute.

Congratulations to you! They are beautiful! I run a weekly pet pic on my website every weekend and I would love to show a picture of your pretty birds! Will you email me a picture at [email protected]? As far as the names, how about Paul and Polly? I really do like Jack and Jill! That is cute. Congrats. on your new additions! They are so pretty and handsome!

I think Ricky & Lucy would be great too. I always look at movie & actor/actress names when I need something for a pet.
