Who discovered the black cheeked lovebird?

The black-cheeked lovebird, scientifically known as Agapornis nigrigenis, was discovered by ornithologist Dr. John J. D. von Berlepsch in 1900. This species is native to the forests of central and southern Africa, particularly in the regions of Angola and Namibia. The lovebird is characterized by its distinctive black cheeks and vibrant plumage. It has since become popular in aviculture due to its charming personality and social nature.
