A blog post I read yesterday made me think about when I was living on the other side of town in the house that was visited by the peach-faced lovebirds. So, I decided to scroll though my photo archives and reminisce about how much I loved watching those birds.
These two pictures were taken in 2013 when I first discovered them in a tree in my front yard.
I put up a couple of bird feeders in the back yard and they started to hang out there. Shortly after that, I learned about the giant seed squares so I got one of those and they loved it so much, they invited all their friends. Sometimes there would be as many as twenty chowing down at the same time.
Every now and then I'll see a few at the Desert Botanical Garden. I miss their daily visits. I know they are still around the Phoenix area because I can hear them in various parts of town. I just wish I saw them more often than I do now.

They are beautiful!
The love birds are so cute together
Your visitors are colourful, beautiful and always looking for food.
Such pretty birds.
These shots take me back to when I was a kid and we had a pair of Lovebirds at home. They were really smart birds and lived a long time. They loved classical music and would be mesmerized whenever it was played. We let them out to roam the house regularly but they were big chewers so you had to watch them. Thanks, Sharon.
They are SO pretty! I especially like the shot of them on the seed square.
Phoenix and Tucson have provided excellent environments for the birds to live and prosper. I never saw one in the wild, but they're out there, living in saguaros.
These birds are gorgeous!
Wow, what a pretty group of birds.
What beauties they are.
Those birds are gorgeous. Here the birds seem to have abandoned us. No sign of any yet though we did have a huge passel of robins who apparently were just passing through in the trees in our front yard for a couple of days weeks ago.
