agapornis acres: THE ABYSSINIAN AND MADAGASCAR LOVEBIRDS AGAPORNIS TARANT A- CANA

These birds are seen only on occasion and are rare in collections most probably because they do not breed as freely as the other Agapornis. Both are dymorphic thus easy to sex.  Our experience and those of friends indicate that the Madagascar (cana) breeds more readily than the Abyssinian (taranta). Our Abys are almost always single brooded and some hens even skip a year, which certain ly makes progress slow if not impossible. We have bred them to four or more generations so far but with a few losses. We will need additional new blood to establish them.
