Content Sources: The Black-cheeked lovebird or Agapornis nigrigenis comes from Zambia. It was discovered as late as 1904 by Dr. Kirkman near the Muguazi river. The first imports took place in 1908. Agapornis nigrigeni s has a warm brownish-black head, the front and cheeks being the darkest. On the lower throat and upper breast a salmon coloured bib is found. Male. Mother: American Cinnamon Violet Peachfaced Lovebird; Father: Blue Pied Peachfaced Lovebird. The photographs of Buttercup never quite catch his true colors. In natural sunlight the violet pied markings can be rather subtle, more so than in the top picture. The violet rump is quite dark. The next photograph (left) shows this. Black-cheeked lovebirds (A. nigrigenis) are the most endangered of the lovebird species. They are found only in a small area of southwestern Zambia. They have light green bodies with darker wings and tails, and orange throats. Their cheeks are black and the color extends around their eye rings that are white.

Black-cheeked Lovebird population numbers have severely declined since the 1920s. The WPT is working to help protect and boost their remaining numbers. Black-cheeked Lovebirds live in a highly restricted range. They are affected by trapping for the wildlife trade, persecution and habitat loss through drought and changing agricultural practices. How WPT makes an impact The World Parrot Trust, along with a number of scientists and conservation groups, has been involved in conservation and research for the Black-cheeked Lovebird. Studies have mapped the distribution of the species, helped to estimate numbers, identified habitat requirements and evaluated threats. Recent work has focused on trialling the use of nest boxes to replace lost nesting trees, carrying out genetic studies to better understand the connections between species and plan for breeding-for-release programs, ongoing monitoring of populations and inspiring local communities to become stewards of these birds through educational programs. {projects_take-action} IUCN/CITES Status Vulnerable / Appendix IIPopulation About 10,000 Vital statistics Size 13-14 cm in Weight 40g oz Range Highly restricted range, from southern Kafue National Park, southwestern Zambia along Zambesi valley to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Natural history This species is found in mopane and Acacia woodland; also occurs in riparian forests and areas with fig trees. Found at 600-1000m 1968-3280 ft. Birds forage for seeds, including Amaranthus, Rottboellia exaltata, Rhus quartiniana, Albizia anthelmintica, Combretum massambicense and Syzygium guineense, and grass seeds Hyparrhenia and Eragrostis; also young leaves of Pterocarpus antunesiana, grain, flowers, buds, young leaves and berries. They generally stay near water sources and are found in flocks of a few dozen individuals. Breeding is November-December in Zambia; nest is in large mopane tree. Black-cheeked Lovebird Scientific classification Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Aves Order Psittaciformes Superfamily Psittacoidea Family Psittaculidae Subfamily Agapornithinae Genus Agapornis Species Agapornis nigrigenis The Black-cheeked Lovebird Agapornis nigrigenis is a small parrot and one of the nine existing species of lovebird. Description[] The average size of this compact, stout bird is 14 cm in. Adults, both male and female, have a predominantly green plumage, with a yellowish tone on the underparts. The forehead, lores, cheeks and throat are black, which fades into brown on the crown, nape, and sides of the neck. On the upper chest is a rusty orange patch. The upper side of the wings is green with brownish feathertips, while the under side is yellowish-green with blue-black remiges. The rump is green, the short, squared tail is green with an orange bar. Around the dark brown eye is a 2 mm thick ring of white, featherless skin. The bill is coral red with some white at the base, and the legs are grey-brown. Juveniles have an overall duller plumage, with dark feathers on the chest, flanks and belly, and an orange-red bill with a black base. They gain their adult plumage at around 6 months. Behaviour[] Black-cheeked Lovebirds are sociable and gregarious birds, but form groups of only about a dozen individuals, rarely up to 30. During the day, they fly together in search of food, possibly without going too far from water sources. They sometimes interbreed with Lilian's Lovebirds. Feeding[] It feeds primarily on seeds, berries, flowers, buds, and fruit, especially figs. It prefers annual grass seeds and usually forages on the ground. Insects and larvae are also consumed. Cultivation of sorghum, corn and millet offer an additional food source, but at the same time, they destroy the bird's habitat. Breeding[] The breeding season begins in November-December and goes on for about 6 months; at the Victoria Falls, couples breeding as early as September have been recorded. Couples prefer to isolate themselves rather than nest in colonies, and always choose a tree cavity as their nest site. The nest has a tunnel that leads to an incubation chamber, which is lined with bark, grass, and leaves by the female while the male provides food for her. Both members of the couple spend a lot of time inside their nest. The eggs, usually 4, need to be incubated for 22-23 days, and the altricial young fledge after about 40 days, becoming completely independent at around 60 days of age. Distribution and Habitat[] It inhabits a small area, from the Kafue National Park in south-west Zambia, the Victoria Falls, part of the Zambesi River's course up to Livingstone, to the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is found between 600 and 1000 m of altitude, in woodland areas rich in water and prefers acacia, mopane and fig trees. Also seen in cultivated fields. It makes short-distance seasonal movements that have made the capture of live birds for the European and American market very easy. Population and Status[] The bird's wild population is decreasing. In 1998, it was estimated to be around individuals; in 2016, 2,500-9,999 mature individuals. The species is therefore considered Vulnerable on the IUCN red list. In captivity[] The Black-cheeked Lovebird is present, though not very common, in captivity, where it can be bred relatively easily. It is a rather shy and quiet species that does not enjoy the company of louder, more lively birds such as the Peach-faced Lovebird. Black-cheeked lovebirds should be fed parakeet seed mix, pellets, and vegetables and fruit. BLACK-CHEEKED LOVEBIRD Agapornis nigrigensisOne of the most threatened lovebird speciesby © The UK The Black Cheeked Lovebird. © The Black-cheeked lovebird is one of the nine species from the Genus AGAPORNIS and was discovered by in 1904. The first specimens reached Europe some three years later. The existing ranges of the Black-cheeked are small areas of Zambia, Namibia, and parts of Zimbabwe It has the smallest range of all the nine species with the exception to the Black- collared which is the least known of the genus. Surveys of the wild population of Black-cheeked indicate that it is Africa's most endangered parrot the initial decline of this species is believed to have taken place in the 1920/1930s by heavy trapping for the bird trade. Habitat alteration, suitable water holes, destruction of mopane woodlands, resumption of illegal trapping and the additional threat being the irresponsible introduction from other areas of the Nyasa Lovebird limit the recovery of this species in the wild, which are known to hybridise freely with the Black-cheeked. The Black-cheeked is basically the same size as the Nyasa and apart from the colour of its head and upper breast it is almost identical as other features to the Nyasa lovebirds. The former are reasonably hardy in captivity but can be badly affected by conditions of extreme wet and cold. The recovery of this species in the wild is limited by habitat is the most desirable and feasible option. The maintenance of a captive purebred population of this species is of the utmost importance as a safeguard against a loss of genetic variability or even extinction. It is important however to emphasize that the establishment of a captive population in no way diminished the urgency of ensuring the survival of this species is the wild. The founder stock for a captive breeding programme must be selected with the greatest care and detailed records kept of source, age, ring numbers, etc. Contacts with other breeders should be maintained and also contact with the Rare Species Officers of the Lovebird Society around the world, also the efficient use of the Internet could be of considerable assistance in maintaining captive bred populations. Black-cheeked lovebirds have been crossbred in captivity indiscriminately with other species of the AGAPORNIS genus resulting in quite a large number of fertile hybrids. These hybrids should be avoided at all cost or even culled to maintain the true Species. The full detailed description of the Black-cheeked lovebird is available is many aviculturists textbooks however the following points may help with the visual sexing of this species. Generally hens have a flatter broader skull, a more substantial beak and a wider abdomen and are more squat but slightly larger in appearance than the cocks. The colouration of the hen is similar to that of the cock except the plumage of the cheeks, which are often less black and browner in colour and a little less glossy. The forehead is less reddish-brown, the neck is rather more green than olive and the orange-red to yellow upper breast area tends to be smaller and paler than in the cock. This lovebird is moderately noisy but is generally more peaceable than other of the genus although will occasionally quarrel if too confined. Its diet consists of a seed mix of various millets, canary, some Niger, hemp and a small amount of sunflower. They also like apple, cheese, pear and small amount of orange, chickweed, brown bread and seeding grasses. Breeding successes vary due to the small captive population available to aviculturists. This can result is loss of genetic diversity in the captive population, which could account for reduced fertility or fitness, low hatchability of fertile eggs, poor survival of young and increased susceptibility to disease. It is hoped that this article will encourage the true aviculturists/conservationists within our ranks to maintain a pure captive bred population of this species. The ruthlessness and greed of hybridisation and mutation breeding by aviculturists within captivity, will only help a species ON THE ROAD TO EXTINCTION AS MONEY CAN ALWAYS BE PRINTED, EXTINCT SPECIES ARE GONE FOREVER.
