Abstract. I t all started almost by chance in early 1997. A lovebird breeder friend who had at the time recently purchased several Blackcheeked Lovebirds Agapornis nigrigensis, leLovebird, black-cheekedAgapornis nigrigenisphylum Chordataclass Avesorder Psittaciformesfamily Psittacidaestatus Vulnerable, IUCNrange Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, ZimbabweDescription and biologyLovebirds are small African parrots. The black-cheeked lovebird is perhaps the most threatened of all lovebird species in the wild. This bird is primarily green, with a black face and cheeks and a white eye-ring. Its forehead is dusky-red. It feeds mainly on seeds, grass seeds, and leaves. Breeding takes place in November and and current distributionThe black-cheeked lovebird is confined mainly to the extreme southwestern part of Zambia. Outside of Zambia, it is found along the Zambezi River in northern Zimbabwe, at the very northernmost tip of Botswana, and at the eastern tip of the Caprivi Strip in Namibia. The total number of these lovebirdscurrently in existence is unknown, though it has been estimated that there are less than 10,000 in the bird prefers to inhabit medium-altitude forests dominated by deciduous shedding trees. The total habitat range is about 2,300 square miles 5,960 square kilometers.History and conservation measuresIn the twentieth century, black-cheeked lovebirds have been trapped and sold around the world as caged pets. During a four-week period in 1929, as many as 16,000 of the birds were captured. The species has never recovered from this legal protection in Zambia, this lovebird is still trapped illegally. It remains a common cage bird. Another threat to the black-cheeked lovebird is the draining of water sources in its habitat to supply agricultural needs. The destruction of its habitat to create farmland also remains a potential lovebirds have become better established in captivity. Although the captive-bred population is still relatively small, it has grown steadily over the last twenty years. Escapee exotics do not count in official eBird totals. Small grayish bird with black face, bold white eyebrow, and rufous cap. A clear view of the head should eliminate any confusion with other understory warblers. Sexes alike. Found in pairs or small groups, usually following a mixed-species flock. Stays low.

This bird inhabits woodlands and medium-altitude forest types habitats, the forests mostly include deciduous forests. They have a green body or plumage with parts of the head reddish-brown in color. The cheeks of this species, as the name suggests, are blackish-brown in color. They have an orange patch under the throat and the beak is red in color. The juveniles have dull green plumage and orange-colored bills or beaks and they have a very prominent much information is available about the breeding of these lovebirds and after they breed, three to six eggs are laid by the female and after hatching, the chicks stay with their parents for about four to six weeks. The diet of these lovebirds includes grass seeds, vegetable matter, sorghum, millet, and corn and the diet is also known to include larvae of insects sometimes. These lovebirds live for about 13 years in captivity. In the dry season, these lovebirds can be spotted in large flocks. These lovebirds are known to be adversely affected or endangered by habitat loss and their habitat loss includes drying of water bodies which has led to the population of these lovebirds being endangered. The lovebirds are known to make manageable pets and are quite playful and entertaining. It is quite fascinating to know about the black cheeked lovebird, Agapornis nigrigenis, and if you are interested, read about the Cooper's hawk and kea parrot too. â Fun Black Cheeked Lovebird Facts For Kids What do they prey on?

Black-cheeked Lovebird population numbers have severely declined since the 1920s. The WPT is working to help protect and boost their remaining numbers. Black-cheeked Lovebirds live in a highly restricted range. They are affected by trapping for the wildlife trade, persecution and habitat loss through drought and changing agricultural practices. How WPT makes an impact The World Parrot Trust, along with a number of scientists and conservation groups, has been involved in conservation and research for the Black-cheeked Lovebird. Studies have mapped the distribution of the species, helped to estimate numbers, identified habitat requirements and evaluated threats. Recent work has focused on trialling the use of nest boxes to replace lost nesting trees, carrying out genetic studies to better understand the connections between species and plan for breeding-for-release programs, ongoing monitoring of populations and inspiring local communities to become stewards of these birds through educational programs. {projects_take-action} IUCN/CITES Status Vulnerable / Appendix IIPopulation About 10,000 Vital statistics Size 13-14 cm in Weight 40g oz Range Highly restricted range, from southern Kafue National Park, southwestern Zambia along Zambesi valley to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Birds forage for seeds, including Amaranthus, Rottboellia exaltata, Rhus quartiniana, Albizia anthelmintica, Combretum massambicense and Syzygium guineense, and grass seeds Hyparrhenia and Eragrostis; also young leaves of Pterocarpus antunesiana, grain, flowers, buds, young leaves and berries.

They are on top of the endangered list due to rapid habitat loss and limited distribution area.

Juvenile- Similar look but gray or orange colored bill Distribution Patchily in South-western Zambia between the Kafue river to the north and the Zambezi river to the south. Habitat Farmland, Woodlands Sound Shrilling loud shrieks Clutch 3-6 eggs Incubation Period Approximately 23 days Fledging Around 32 days Life span 19 years Diet Grass seeds, vegetables, fruits apples, berries etc, insect larvae IUCN Conservation Status Near Threatened Colour mutations There is no confirmed color mutation of these birds, and the ones are Black-cheeked and Masked lovebird hybrids. Though a striking blue mutation has been reported about, there is no confirmation regarding the same. Black Cheeked Lovebird Pictures Black Cheeked Lovebird As pets They are intelligent, playful and amusing, however, due to their vulnerability, they are not petted largely. Housing These active birds need a big spacious cage with a minimum dimension of 32 x 20 x 20 81 x 50 x 50 cm as they are fond of flying. Adequate perches, swings, chew toys, should be added to help them play. Nesting materials like willow twigs, strips of bark, branches, etc. should also be kept. Black Cheeked Lovebird Baby Black Cheeked Lovebird Images Temperature Make sure the average room temperature is around 80° F. Since they prefer a warm climate, keep them indoors during winters as prolonged exposure to damp and cold weather is unsuited for these birds. Temperament These lovable pets, mostly existing in pairs, can be extremely territorial particularly during their breeding season when kept with other birds in a big cage or aviary. It is advised to play with them daily to preserve their tameness. If trained and handfed, these lovebirds can perform tricks as well. They are docile in nature hence overcrowding can be stressful for them. Despite their pleasing temperament, their high pitched shrill noise can feel like a nuisance. Diet Their feed primarily includes grass seeds, larvae, vegetables, corns, sorghum, and millet. Care Bathe your black-cheeked lovebird two times in a week using a mist spray. Ensure general hygiene by cleaning its cage and accessories regularly as well as keeping fresh water in its housing every day. Since it gets highly adventurous if allowed to come out of its cage, make sure to keep all injurious items out of its reach.
