The Fischers Lovebird is a small parrot, they were originally discovered in the late 19th century, and were first bred in the United States in 1926. They are named after German explorer Gustav Fischer. This species comes from northwestern Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. I photographed this beauty at Ndutu safari lodge in Tanzania. Fischer’s lovebirds feed on seeds, and on occasion fruits and they can sometimes be found in agricultural areas or farmland, where they feed on crops. During feeding times, their flocks can grow well into several hundred birds. These high numbers can cause damage to fruit and crops, causing farmers to target them as pests.
