About Fischers:

Fischer Lovebirds (Agapornis fischeri) come from the north western Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. The sexes are similar in appearance, basically green, with light green on the underparts. The forehead, cheeks and throught are bright orange, merging into a yellowish orange on the breast and nape on the neck. The rump is blue and there are blue orange and black markings on the tail. The beak is red, the feet and legs gray. The irises are brown and there is a white eyering. This lovebird species is fairly common in captivity, breeds readily, and a number of colour mutations have been developed.

These lovely little parrots are known as lovebirds because of the strong pair bond between mates, which sit together preening, cooing and billing. Fischer's are not as hardy and adaptable as peach-faced lovebirds, but this is balanced by their gentler disposition. Natives of Africa, Fischer's lovebirds are admired for their beautiful coloration (bright green body; red face; yellow-orange chest) and engaging personalities, small size, and ease of maintenance. They are small bundles of energy, personality and vitality: always active, playing with toys, chattering, and interacting with each other or their owners.

When buying a Fischer make sure you buy a young bird. Young Fischer's lovebirds can be recognized by a small dark patch on the upper beak next to the cere and less intense facial coloring.
