Known by the Chinese as a Love Bird.

Apparently a Red Billed Leothrix. It was hopping about frantically, so had to take any chance I got.
Taken at the Panda Conservation Centre near Chengdu, China.

Saw a couple of pairs of them last time we were in Guangzhou, each pair were cuddling and preening each other. There's a big park on the north side with a steep hill that is some sort of bird zoo, though quite a few don't live in cages and were somewhat tame.

Wavy, I saw three individuals; they were in the wild.
