The yellow-collared lovebird (Agapornis personatus), also called masked lovebird or eye ring lovebird, is a monotypic species of bird of the lovebird genus in the parrot family Psittaculidae. They are native to northeast Tanzania and have been introduced to Burundi and Kenya.
I took these photos at Whistling Thorn Camp near Tarangire.
They are near endemic to Tanzania and are very easily seen at the northern end of Tarangire National Park. They frequent a well at Whistling Thorn Camp and were the first birds to welcome us in!
