Happy Valentine's Day

These are Rosy-faced Lovebirds we photographed in Namibia a few years ago. I cropped it fairly close to mostly remove branches which were in the background. Taken at a lodge in the Erongo Mountains where this species comes in to feeders. Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks for your comments everyone, Ken, I forgot to mention this was taken at a lodge where this species comes in to feeders, it's also a good sized crop.
