Peach-faced is one of the lovebirds varieties people search for by name. This page covers what owners actually ask about it, then hands you the sourced lovebirds care guidance that applies to every variety.

Tiny, fierce, and famously bonded — but "love" cuts both ways: they bite hard and pair for life.

Quick answer: Peach-faced is a variety of lovebirds. Everything on this page is lovebirds-level guidance — we do not invent variety-specific numbers.

The care below is lovebirds-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Exotic & Laboratory Animals: Pet Birds and RSPCA — Pet birds advice. It applies to Peach-faced exactly as it applies to every other lovebirds variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.

How long do lovebirds live

Expect 10–15 years in captivity with proper diet and an avian vet. The main killers are poor nutrition (seed-only), cold drafts, and egg-binding in females kept without a mate or proper lighting. A pellet-based diet and a warmed, draft-free room push them toward the upper end of that range.

Diet: pellets beat seeds, again

Same rule as cockatiels — formulated pellet base (60–70%), daily greens, a little fruit, millet as treat only. No avocado, chocolate, caffeine, or alcohol. Lovebirds are prone to obesity on all-seed diets, so weigh them monthly on a kitchen scale; a sudden drop signals illness fast in a bird this small.
