Peachfaced Lovebirds

Agapornis roseicollis

Called peachfaced lovebirds because the wild-type coloring has a reddish face (not really all that peach-colored frankly), this species also comes in a wide variety of color mutations. Some people get confused when they see a white-faced lovebird and someone says it is a peachfaced lovebird - well, it is! It is just one of the many color mutations that have occurred in captive breeding - but they are still part of the species Agapornis roseicollis (peachfaced lovebirds).

These are just a few examples of peachface lovebird colors.
