This vibrant image captures a Fischer's Lovebird nestled within the densely backed thorny branches of an acacia tree. The bird's striking orange head and chest might appear to make the bird stand out, but these birds are quite small, only 6' long, making them hard to see among the densely packed branches. Parrots in the genus Agapornis are called "lovebirds", a mated pairs snuggle against each other when they are perched. Lovebirds nest in tree hollows, but they carry pieces of nest material in their tail feathers to the hollow to build a nest inside. I am not at all sure how these parrots avoid the acacia thorns, but perhaps the thorns discourage predators from chasing them. These birds are popular pets and breed well in captivity.
