Interestingly, my dad let an aviary of about 50 lovebirds open back in 2004 around 59th avenue and beardsley. I wonder if that is what started it? I originally got 2 for my 16th birthday and he let them go when I told my parents I was engaged because I wouldn't be there to take care of them. Wished he asked me if I wanted to keep one or sell them in the newspaper though. At that time I was upset because I thought they would die.
We live in the Deer Valley area, NW Phoenix and we have been graced with three of these beauties! Love getting up around 6 AM so I can watch them. Sometimes there is only one. They do RULE the two feeders. The doves sparrows,etc. get out of the way for them. We have added more sunflower seeds to our mixture because they seem to like them. They are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the video. I have taken afew pictures, but none good enough to post yet!
Awesome. This solves our mystery. We live in Phoenix and we have been watching two of these come around our birdfeeders for a few weeks now, we had no idea what they were. We thought maybe somebody lost their pet birds. They are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.

Love birds have been in the wold in Phoenix, Tucson and the SF Bay area for many years. Their native home has the same climate as the SW USA desert.

Nope. They are wild. They live somewhere down the street in a palm tree. There are hundreds documented throughout Phoenix.
