Black-masked Lovebird

Jurong Bird Park, Singapore

Scientific Name: Agapornis personata (Reichenow, 1887)

Also called: Yellow-collared Lovebird

Black-masked lovebirds are among the most common pet birds worldwide. These tiny parrots are known as lovebirds because of the strong pair bond between mates, which are constantly together - preening, cooing and billing.

They are native to northeast Tanzania, and they have been introduced to Burundi and Kenya. Read the Wiki: Masked Lovebird.
