Fischers Lovebird

Agapornis fischeri

Description:

small gregarious parrots the fischer's lovebird is a popular pet. These particular wild birds live near human habitation, allowing great views of them at dawn(first three photos) and dusk(last three). In the last three photos, the birds are "playing" peek a boo with hotel guests in the lounge at happy hour. Total characters. They weren't tame, but very curious. If someone made an overt move, they'd leave for a time. If they were ignored they stayed. I was using a long lens for the latter three photos

Habitat:

Ngorongoro valley farmhouse lodge
