Arobaini comes from private owners who had taken over twelve lovebirds from acquaintances. They were placed in a spacious aviary in the garden. After complaints from the neighbours about the 'twittering' of the birds, extra soundproof plates were placed and the night shelter was darkened. Unfortunately, this was not enough for the neighbours and the owners decided to give up the birds in order to keep 'the dear peace in the neighbourhood'.

Where does he feel most at home?

Lovebirds like to live in rocky areas close to water and trees. You can find them on the African meanland.

What's his favourite food?

Lovebirds like to eat seeds, grasses, fruits and vegetables. 

Fun fact
