The Andean parakeet (Bolborhynchus orbygnesius) is a small 160 mm (6 in)
parrot found in the upland wooded valleys of the central eastern Andes in
Bolivia and Peru, at elevations of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) to 5,000 m (16,400
ft).  It is solid green, darker above and lighter below, with some blue
visible on the wings when flying.  It has a pale bill and medium length
tail.  It is stockier and darker than the mountain parakeet.

Most flocks are small, but sometimes include over 300 individuals. The
Andean parakeet eats seeds, buds, and berries, and it breeds in burrows in
steep banks.

It was formerly known as B. andicolus - Wikipedia

Release 7.7.0 - "Red-headed Lovebird"

"It makes its nest in a termites nest usually in a tree or sometimes on the
ground.  To make a nest the female digs a tunnel up to a length of 30 cm (12
in) in the termites nest in a colony with other lovebirds."
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-headed_lovebird#Breeding

"The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat
destruction and unsustainable levels of exploitation."

Release 7.5.0 - "Yellow-collared Lovebird"

"White eye-rings lovebirds, of which Yellow-collared lovebirds are part, are
reportedly less aggressive in comparison to the slightly larger peach-faced
lovebird.  They are frequently housed in aviaries with other species of
their genus, a practice which although can be convenient, and wonderfully
aesthetic, may lead to hybridization.  This can especially be concerning
where other species may not be as locally common e.g.  black-cheeked
lovebird, and Lilians lovebird." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-collared_lovebird

Prepare for the 7.4.0 release.

Supported release 7.3.0 - "Peach-faced Lovebird"

"The rosy-faced lovebird is a fairly small bird, 17–18 cm long with an
average wing length of 106 mm and tail length of 44–52 mm.
Populations have been reduced in some areas by trapping for the pet trade.
However numbers may have increased in other parts due to human creation of
new water sources and the building of artificial structures which provide
new nesting sites." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peach-faced_lovebird
