Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A gregarious small green parrot with a red bill, white eye-ring and chocolate-brown face. Immature has a duller bill and eye-ring. Pairs and small and large flocks inhabit tall broadleaf Mopane and mixed woodlands, where they can be locally common; very range-restricted to a small portion of southwest Zambia. Gives a variety of chittering and screechy chatters that draws attention to their presence. The similar Lilian’s Lovebird differs from Black-cheeked Lovebird by its orange-red face.
