Abstract
Historical and current distribution ranges, degree of hybridization and the present status of two species of lovebirds (Masked Lovebird, Agapornis personatus, and Fischer's Lovebird, A. fischeri) in Tanzania are given. Hybridization between both species occurs in the vicinity of large cities, especially Arusha, most probably based on escaped specimens.
