Peach-faced Lovebirds
The feral population of this African species around Phoenix, AZ, is now countable on your ABA Life List. This pair of Peach-faced Lovebirds cuddled at the Gilbert Water Ranch on January 3, 2008.

Rich, I think that the official name is now Rosy-faced Lovebird. I thought Peach fit better.

Indeed. But, like you, I prefer Peach-faced Lovebird. I still use that in all my field notes.
