lovebirds

Inseparable romantic pair

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

The term extends to any affectionate couple who display obvious devotion to each other: Look at those two lovebirds holding hands.

The usage is warm but gently teasing.
