lovebird

A lovebird is a type of small, colorful parrot known for being affectionate with its partner. They're often kept as pets because of their playful and loving nature.

In everyday language, when we say "lovebirds" we usually mean a couple that's extremely in love and happy together. It can be two friends who are inseparable or even just two people in a romantic relationship that's going strong. People might use this phrase to describe themselves or someone else they know who is smitten with their partner. Some might even joke about being "lovebirds" because they're always holding hands or cuddling on the couch together. The idea is that these couples are so into each other that it's almost adorable, like the affectionate behavior of those small parrots.
