Description
The Rosy-Faced Lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) is native to Namibia, Angola, and South Africa, and established as a small feral colony in the late 1980’s in the Phoenix, Arizona area. It is a small parrot that measures about 6.5 inches in length and about 1.9 ounces in weight. It has a large head and a short tail. The adult’s face is pink-red (or described as peach-pink), body is green, tail is bright blue, bill is yellow, and eye ring is white. Juvenile birds have a pale pink face and a beak with a brown base. In Arizona, the wild colony wanders through parks, suburbs, and the edges of desert. In native Africa, habitat includes river canyons, scrubby hillsides, and arid woodlands. Preferred foods include Albiza and Acacia seeds, flower buds, berries, and foliage.
This Rosy Faced Love Bird mom (left) feeding its chick (right) while perched on a branch was photographed at the Desert Horizon Park in Phoenix, Arizona 12-27-2021. I used a Nikon D850 camera body and a Nikon 500mm f/5.6 PF VR lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/1250 sec, f/6.3, ISO 1100.
I am honored that my photograph was featured in the Fine Art America groups:
