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 Parrot
The Black Parrot is a medium-sized, uniformly brownish-black parrot with a grayish bill and a pale edge to the feathers giving a scaly appearance. It inhabits forests and forest edges of Madagascar, the Comoro Islands, and Seychelles, depending on availability of fruiting trees. It feeds on seeds, fruits, and flowers in the forest canopy and is important as a seed disperser in island ecosystems.
