Inséparable de Fischer Agapornis fischeri

A colorful lovebird of East African savanna that is also found in woodland, cultivated areas, and towns. Note the green back, the broad yellow collar, the orange face, and the red bill. The flight is fast and direct, on twitching wingbeats. Usually found in flocks that can be quite large. Similar to Yellow-collared Lovebird, but easily separated by the orange rather than black head. However, hybrids showing a mix of the two species’ traits are now common, especially in Kenya and along the coast. The common call is a scratchy “sveet.”
