The Fischer's Lovebird
can be described simply as beautiful.
With their natural warm hues this Lovebird is sure to capture your heart. It is no surprise that the Fischer's Lovebird is one of the most loved Lovebirds raised in captivity today.
The Fischer's Lovebird
is not only handsome, but he is playful,
energetic and fun to be around. They are easy to tame, and bonds easily with his owners. This is particularly true if you
have a young, hand raised bird. Unlike
many of the other parrot species, Fischer's
Lovebirds are relatively quiet and will not
cause the complaints larger parrots often draw
from neighbors and housemates. They are easy to house and care for
because of their small size. Lovebirds in
general are not known for their talking ability; the
Fischer is no exception. If you want a bird
that has talking ability you should select
another breed. On occasion some Fischer's
Lovebirds have been taught a couple words to
mimic, but this is not the norm and should not
be expected. Some refer
to the Fischer's Lovebird as 'clowns'. This is
because they are such energetic playful
creatures. They bounce around their
environments from perch to toy, to toy and
back to their perch again, exhibiting almost
tireless energy.
They come in a wide variety of color mutations including, Albino, Pied,
 Black or Dark Eyed White, Dilute Blue, Dilute Yellow, Lutino, and Cinnamon.
This Lovebird is classified with four other distinct species as 'Eye-ring Lovebirds' (The other three species are Black Cheeked, Masked and Nyasa). This classification is readily apparent, as this Lovebird possesses a white eye ring that is not existent in other breeds such as the Peach Faced Lovebird.
The Fischer's Lovebird is much smaller than
other parrot species measuring only five to
six and a half inches at adulthood. The Fischer's Lovebird originates in Africa and nearby Islands.
