Fischer's Lovebird

A small, brilliantly colored lovebird native to the savanna woodlands and forest edges around Lake Victoria in Tanzania and Kenya, Fischer's lovebirds have green body plumage, vivid orange head and throat, and bright red bill. They form strong pair bonds, constantly preening each other — the behavior that gave lovebirds their name. Listed as Near Threatened due to heavy trapping for the global pet trade. Multiple color mutations have been developed in captivity.

Microbacterium enclense is a Gram-positive actinobacterium in the family Microbacteriaceae, isolated from marine sediment samples. It is aerobic, rod-shaped, and capable of growing over a moderate range of temperatures and salinity levels. Members of the genus Microbacterium are widely found in soils, water, and plant-associated environments.
