Black-checked Lovebird (Agapornis Nigrigenis)
Found only in a small area of Zaire, this species was extremely popular with aviculturists during the 1920's when large numbers were captured. The sexes are similar in color, the back is dark green, the underparts greenish yellow. The forehead and crown are reddish brown, merging into black on the checks. There is a band of orange on the upper breast and the nape. The beak is red, the feet and legs grayish and the irises are brown. Not common in captivity but breeds readily.
