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-billed Hanging Parrot
The Black-billed Hanging Parrot is a tiny green parrot native to the island of Sulawesi and nearby smaller islands in Indonesia, distinguished by its short black bill and the male's red rump patch. It inhabits tropical forest canopy, forest edges, and gardens, feeding on nectar, pollen, soft fruits, and berries. Like other hanging parrots, it roosts and sleeps hanging upside down.
