Feeding Habits

Habitat
Yellow-collared Lovebird primarily inhabits well-wooded bushlands, favoring regions with dense Acacia thorn scrub. These birds have a distinct preference for areas peppered with baobab trees (Adansonia), which provide crucial nesting sites. They are commonly found at altitudes ranging from 1100 to 1800 meters, where their preferred environment persists. However, they show a propensity to avoid the miombo woodlands, preferring the ecological characteristics of more open and arid habitats in broader sub-Saharan African regions.
