First of all let me clarify who a cupid is? Well cupid is the god of love and son of Venus, the goddess of love. Cupid is generally represented as a naked boy who holds a bow and arrow in his hand. He is a very chubby blue-eyed cute winged boy with curly hair and people have a belief that whoever becomes the target of his arrow would soon fall in passionate love. So guys and gals are you ready for it?
Flowers have been no doubt the best means of confessing your feelings and when the matter is of serious love, then what better idea than red roses. Exchanging roses is the most beautiful way of expressing to your sweetheart that how special he or she is for you. Did you know that red is a color associated with intense emotions. It is a color of love and therefore was the favorite flower of Venus, Roman goddess of love.
Love is a feeling of heart thus heart is considered to be the most superior symbol of Valentines Day. Heart is the sacred place of emotions. We have often heard couples saying that they have given their heart to their darling. The very thought is that though the heart is beating inside your body but in actual its not beating for you but for someone else. Its not pre decided whom would you give your heart, its just that you can fall for anyone. Love crosses all boundaries of age, location & religion.
Laces, frills, ribbon and scarves are also symbols of romance. These are considered to be associated with love since the times of knighthood and the story lies in the fact that when knight used to head his way to the battlefield, he would attire ribbon or scarf presented to him by his beloved.
People we have all heard of the term 'lovebirds' but does any of us know what bird is actually called lovebird and why? It is really interesting to know their story.

This is how these colored parrots derived a new identity and name and became symbols of love.
Another thing that you might not be knowing is that the bird dove is truly the epitome (classic example) of loyalty and love because they do not ditch their partners and mate with the same partner throughout their life. Did you ever think that birds could also be idols of love and fidelity but see there is a lot to learn from birds too.
