Grey headed Lovebird or Madagascar Lovebird (Agapornis canas) is a small species of lovebird genus Parrot. It is a predominantly green parrot. The species is sexually transmitted and only adult males have grey on its body.
Grey headed Lovebird
They are endemic to the island of Madagascar and are the only lobster species not native to the African continent. They are the smallest of the species of love bird. It is rarely seen in Harischal and it is difficult to breed in captivity.
Grey headed Lovebird prefers finch and canary seeds compared to sunflower / butcher blends that most other lovebirds eat.
The grey headed Lovebird is native to Madagascar where it extends into light wooded habitats and cultivated areas. The species has been introduced on several islands in the Indian Ocean. Two subspecies share the island and inhabit it.
The grey headed Lovebird is isolated on the island of Madagascar and are considered to be the most primitive of the Agapornes lineage. It has a much smaller bill than other “Lovebird” species.
The species is not a worldwide threat but it is less common now and is rare in some regions.
Description
The grey headed Lovebird is 13 years cm (5 inches) long and weighs about 30-36 grams, a shaved and leg-pale grey of a species of miniature species of Lovebird jeans.
The species is sexually transmitted: the elderly female is completely green, with a darker green back and wings, a bright green color pump and a palate green chest; Adult males are the same color, with their entire head and upper chest excluding pale grey.
Biometrics:
Length: 13-15 cm
Weight: 25-28 grams
The grey headed Lovebird of the Nominee race has a pale grey head, neck and breasts of adult males. The upper parts are green with bright pumps. The tail is green, with a black subterminal bar on the outer rectangles.
Underparts are yellowish-green with black underwing-coverings.
The bill is gray-white. The eyes are dark brown. The legs are gray.
Different from the male, the head, neck and breast of the adult female are green. It has a more uniform green plumage overall with underwing-coverings. The upper parts are sometimes browner than men.
The immature resembles the female, but it is yellow in color with a black base. The grey head of young men has become green
Behavior
Grey headed lovebirds are powerful flyers, and when opened, their wings look larger than peachy-faced lovebirds in relation to their bodies. They are fast and easy to develop at a good speed and can rotate easily, though not as submerged in the air as a peachy facebook.
Favoritism
Grey-headed lovebirds were first imported for European aquaculture in the second half of the nineteenth century. When imports were allowed and these were available to large numbers of livestock, very little effort was put into breeding.
They prefer to breed in the autumn, and they generally tolerate failure to reproduce in the cold winter weather. In the air, they get overwhelmed and very easily scared.
It is rare in captivity that only a very few breeders have successfully reproduced one or two generations. It is and the fact that hand-fed birds are too shy and nervous to make good pets is the obvious reason for the opportunity to give birth to a species rather than keeping a captive Madagascar as a pet.
Suggestions and ranges:
There are two subspecies of grey-headed lovebirds.
A.c. Canvas (described above) occurs throughout Madagascar except for SW.
A.c. Argatenius is found in SW Madagascar, and from Mongochi to the westerly side of the Anoceni Meats.
This race is dark green on top and low yellow on the bottom. The head and breasts of men are pale greyish-blue.
The species (probably “cannas”) has been introduced to Comoros, Seychelles, Reunion, Mauritius, Rodrigues and Zanzibar and other African places. It survives only on Comoros.
Habitat
The grey-headed Lovebirds can be seen in light wood timber habitats such as savannas, semi-arid scrublands, forest edges and clearings, disturbed woodland, and paddy fields adjacent to settlements, cities, and villages. It can be seen up to 1,000 / 1,500 m but is mainly found at lower altitudes.
The introduction of these features
The breeding season occurs from November-December to March in Madagascar and between November and April in Comoros.
The grey-headed Lovebirds usually nest in the holes of tree trunks, such as the wee, weevil, and other species. The cavity is lined with leaves, bark, and pieces of grass to chew on water. The contents of the nest are carried by the female in the feathers of her body.
She lays 3-6 white eggs in one day. He started with the second egg, burning it alone for 20-20 days (in captivity). The young are committed within about 44 days, but they are independent only two weeks later
Security / Threats / Situation
The grey-headed Lovebird is widespread and common throughout Madagascar, though it is now uncommon in E and rare in the highlands. The species occurs in several protected areas. It is known to attack agricultural crops and can damage paddy fields. Local trade is common.
The population is suspected to be stable and the grey-headed lovebird is currently evaluated as a minimal concussion.

The behavior of the world
