Comment
Cf. English lovebird 'any of various small usually gray or green parrots (especially genus Agapornis of Africa) that show great affection for their mates' (Merriam-Webster)However, the first meaning is not certain - in Turkish muhabbet can mean both 'love' and 'friendship', so there might be two different ideas behind this nomination of the parrot.
