Yellow-collared lovebird

Yellow-collared lovebird
Agapornis personatus, Reichenow, 1887

This parrot lives in small groups in forests, parks and gardens. Yellow-collared lovebirds spend nights in flocks. They mate for life. To strengthen and consolidate their bonds, they clean and take care of each other’s feathers. If making the decision to get this species as a pet, one should remember that it is quite a noisy parrot. In the natural environment, the population of the yellow-collared lovebird has been in decline due to the loss of natural habitats and poaching.
