Love Birds Wallpapers Biography

The lovebird genus comprises nine species of which five are monotypic and four are divided into subspecies. Eight of them are native in the mainland of Africa and the Madagascar Lovebird is native to Madagascar. In the wild the different species are separated geographically.
Traditionally, lovebirds are divided in 3 groups:
1. the sexually dimorphic species: Madagascar, Abyssinian, and Red-headed Lovebird
2. the intermediate species: Peach-faced Lovebird
3. the white-eye-ringed species: Masked, Fischer's, Lilian's, and Black-cheeked Lovebirds
However, this division is not fully supported by phylogenetic studies, as the species of the dimorphic group are not grouped together in a single clade.
