About These Birds
Rußköpfchen
The Black-cheeked Lovebird is a Vulnerable small parrot endemic to a small area of southwestern Zambia in the Zambezi Valley, with a black face and chestnut forehead contrasting with a bright orange-red bill and green body. It inhabits woodland dominated by mopane trees near permanent water sources. Its tiny range makes it highly vulnerable to habitat degradation and illegal capture for the cagebird trade.

Wildlebende Wellensittiche ziehen in riesigen, nomadischen Schwärmen umher, die den Himmel verdunkeln können. Männchen können lernen, menschliche Sprache nachzuahmen; ein Rekordhalter beherrschte einen Wortschatz von 1.728 Wörtern.
