The Truth About Lovebirds...

...National Geographic video about wild Fischer's lovebirds in Tanzania :)

You'll have to sit through a 15 second Nissan Pathrinder commercial. Well worth the wait IMHO!

Neat little video. It's nice to see them in their natural habitat. Fischer's are really beautiful lovies. Thanks for sharing what you found :)

Thanks for sharing, those are so pretty.

If you want to see the 'action' close up, come on down to my place....this is EXACTLY what Chubby and Checkers have been up to!!!

And I learned something, I didn't know that males feed females as part of the mating ritual. I just thought that Chubby was being lazy:whistle: ;) !

Good video, E!
Thanks for sharing it with us! I'm always fascinated about how lovebirds live in the wild. :)

seriously lovely video. It's fascinating to hear from all of you about how your lovies make their nests, but it is another thing to see it in the wild. They are simply beautiful in full flight and free. :) Thanks Eliza!

Thanks so much for sharing! I just loved seeing them in their natural habitat - instead of only seeing them in my living room (I have 4 fischers). Beautiful birds!!!
