I know! Why are they so adorable? When I was planning to get my peach-faced lovebird, I had people suggest budgies or cocktatiels as more suitable pets. But I had already fallen in love with the lovebird's little face and I don't regret getting him for a second. He is sitting on my shoulder right now as I work at home, pulling on my earring. Now if only I could discourage the nipping of fingers and ears or other exposed skin...ouch.
