Inséparable de Fischer

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.

Inséparable à tête grise

The only lovebird species native to Madagascar, gray-headed lovebirds — also called Madagascar lovebirds — are among the most sexually dimorphic lovebirds, with males having pale grey heads and necks contrasting with bright green body plumage, while females are entirely green. They inhabit forest edges, scrub, and cultivated areas of Madagascar and have been introduced to some neighboring islands. Relatively little kept in captivity compared to African lovebirds. Listed as Least Concern.
