Scientific name: Agapornis Fischeri
The Fischer's lovebird is a small parrot species of the Agapornis genus. They were originally discovered in the late 19th century, and were first bred in the United States in 1926. They are named after German explorer Gustav Fischer.
Fischer's lovebirds are native to a small area of east-central Africa, south and southeast of Lake Victoria in northern Tanzania. Fischer's lovebirds eat a wide variety of foods, including seeds and fruit.
Fischer's lovebirds show no sexual dimorphism; therefore, it is impossible to tell whether an individual is male or female through plumage alone.
Fischer's lovebirds are kept in captivity. Lovebirds are social animals and are popular as pets.
