We saw it at quite a distance, the Red-bellied parrot. We approached it slowly with the jeep and I took series after series of pictures. But the parrot stayed put - to my great surprise. It simply seemed curious about what happened. The name 'Red-bellied parrot' is possibly a good translation of the Latin 'rufiventris' but it is hardly correct. The abdomen is clearly orange (and an alternative name in English is precisely 'African orange-bellied parrot'). However, it is only the male (as in the picture) that has an orange-colored belly. The female is completely green on the abdomen, with just an orange patch under the wing, hardly visible when the bird is perched. The bird arranges its nest in tree holes and subsits on a diet of tree fruits, berries and seeds.
