Though peach-faced lovebirds are not native to the United States, these parrots are now estimated to number in the hundreds in the greater Phoenix area. A small number of these parakeets were released from a local aviary, but local habitat, rapid breeding, and absence of natural predators have allowed these once captive birds to thrive throughout Phoenix neighborhoods. Peach-faced lovebirds are found naturally in Southern Africa.
