About These Birds
Black-collared Lovebird
The Black-collared Lovebird is a small, little-known parrot of Central African lowland rainforests, with green plumage and a distinctive black collar across the nape. It ranges from Liberia east to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, inhabiting primary lowland and gallery forests. It is rarely seen and difficult to study; it appears to feed predominantly on the seeds of figs and native figs in the genus Ficus.
Black Lory
The Black Lory is a medium-sized, entirely black lory with red undertail coverts, a yellow bill, and red bare facial skin around the eye, giving it a striking appearance. It inhabits the rainforests of western New Guinea and nearby islands including Misool, Salawati, and Batanta. Like other lories, it feeds primarily on nectar and pollen from forest flowers, with a brush-tipped tongue adapted for this diet.
