lovebird

Small bonded parrot

Lovebirds are small, brightly colored parrots native to Africa, known for forming strong pair bonds and sitting close together.

The name extends to human couples who display obvious affection: Look at those two lovebirds holding hands.

The term is usually affectionate but can be gently mocking when the romance seems excessive.
