Yellow-collared Lovebird
Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.
Widely distributed across Africa (Burundi, Kenya), Asia (Israel), Europe (6 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Colombia, Ecuador).
Sphingobium abikonense is a Gram-negative aerobic rod first isolated in Abiko, Japan, capable of degrading xenobiotic compounds. It inhabits contaminated soils and sediments in industrial regions. This chemoheterotrophic bacterium degrades polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds in polluted environments.
Yellow-collared Lovebird
A small lovebird with distinctive yellow collar and mask surrounding a violet-blue face, native to the dry Acacia savanna of northeastern Tanzania. Like all lovebirds, they form intensely bonded pair relationships reinforced through constant mutual preening. They nest colonially in large tree holes and termite mounds, lining nests with strips of bark. Near Threatened due to trapping for the pet trade and agricultural habitat conversion. Widely hybridized with Fischer's lovebird in captivity.
