| Psittaciformes |
| Birds are a very large family of animals, so many, that they are broken down into groups by order, according to the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy- a new and increasingly approved taxonomy based on DNA analysis, as opposed to the older taxonomy, which was more based on appearance, geography, and behavior. |
| Lilian's Lovebird |

Species:
Agapornis lilianae Length: 14cm |

Unfortunately, this was the only photo I got of Lilian's Lovebird, a
close relative of Fischer's Lovebird (which we saw in Tanzania.).
These were spotted in South Luangwa National Park while on our walking
safari. Their range is confined to a narrow location along the Zambezi River and it's tributaries, one of which is the Luangwa River. |
