Lovebirds have been a known as a symbol of love for many years. The tradition of lovebirds as a representation of love is age old. Love is a complex emotion that cannot always be defined or symbolized correctly. “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.”
~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~ |

Love is a very personal feeling and its expression is different with every individual. Yet there are somethings about love that are are common to all. Just like cute lovebirds we like being with our loved ones all the time. Couples are often called lovebirds if they stick to each other a lot. Couples that spend a lot of time with each other and are deeply in love are called lovebirds. They are named so after the bird species known as lovebirds. These African birds are small, brightly colored birds that are always seen in pairs, hence the name. Lovebirds are gorgeous social birds that are very loyal and very often have one mate their entire life.
