Agapornis fischeri is currently one of the most popular of the love birds species kept in aviculture. Many colour mutations already exist within the spacious and the fact that these birds are easy to bread in aviculture definitely contributes to their popularity. Fischeri lives in small groups of 10 – 20 birds mainly in the North Central Tanzania just South of Lake Victoria not from far from the habitat of Agapornis Personatus. In 1987 fisheri was the most popular bird exported from Tanzania in fact close to 80% of all birds exported out of Tanzania were fischeri. Fortunately, this export has stopped but it will still take quite some time for the population to recover. They breed between January and April but there have also been reports of nests between June and July.
