Grey-headed Lovebird in Kirindi
Madagascar only has 3 parrot species, and this is the 3rd one I am posting. This concerns a tiny lovebird species. Unfortunately, this is the only reasonable shot I have of them. During our drives, we spotted enormous flocks containing hundreds of such birds, like a green wave in the sky, but each time we were too late to capture the scene :(
The grey-headed lovebird or Madagascar lovebird is a small species of parrot of the lovebird genus. It is a mainly green parrot. The species is sexually dimorphic and only the adult male has grey on its upper body. They are native on the island of Madagascar and are the only lovebird species which are not native on the African continent. They are the smallest of the lovebird species. It is rarely seen in aviculture and it is difficult to breed in captivity.
