The Red-headed Lovebird (Agapornis pullarius) also known as the Red-faced Lovebird is a member of the genus Agapornis, a group commonly known as lovebirds. Like other lovebirds it is native to Africa. Although I have seen them in foliage in both Accra and Entebbe, I wasn’t able to get a photo so I will have to use Wikipedia’s. I don’t know why these beauties are so bashful but at least it’s not me as I couldn’t find many other pics or videos of them in the wild.
Their range covers a swathe through central Africa but only Ghana and Uganda are easy to get to for eco-tourists on a budget. I got glimpses of them in Accra and Entebbe Botanical Gardens.

Once again, I had a hard time tracking down clips of wild birds on Youtube. This is an older one.
And a close up of captive birds just to show the gorgeous colours.
