Origin:            Central and western Central Africa. They inhabit the lowlands, forests, and grasslands of the area.

Diet:               In the wild, they feed on young grasses, grass seeds, and fruits such as figs and berries. They sometimes raid

                      agricultural crops, such as millet.

Sexual dimorphism: Males have a redder forehead than females.

Breeding:               Termite mounds are used as nesting places. Eggs incubate for 22 days, and young fledge in 42 days.

The red-faced lovebird is extremely rare in aviculture. One reason for this is their unusual preference for termite mounds as nesting places. Duplicating this in captivity is difficult, although breeders have found creative ways to do so. They are also considered a more delicate species than the others in the genus.
