About These Birds
Grünköpfchen
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.

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.
