A hybrid lovebird, resulting from a Black-cheeked Lovebird and a Rosy-faced Lovebird

A hybrid lovebird is a generic term that describes the result of two lovebirds being cross-bred. Hybrids produced by the pairing of a Rosy-faced Lovebird (or Peach-faced Lovebird) with one of the 'eye ring' species (i.e. those species which have a prominent area of white bare skin encircling the eye area, Fischer's Lovebird being a typical example) are usually sterile - whereas crosses between the 'eye ring' species are often fertile.[1]
