The black-collared lovebird (Agapornis swindernianus) also known as Swindern's lovebird is a small, 13.5cm (5in) long, African parrot in the genus Agapornis and belongs to the Agapornithinae family. The black-collared lovebird is widespread across the African tropical closed rainforest . [ 2 ]
The black-winged lovebird, with a length of about 16 [3] –16.5 [2] cm (6.25–6.5 inches), is the largest of all the lovebirds. It is sexually dimorphic, as are the red-headed lovebird and grey-headed lovebird of the lovebird genus. The dimorphism becomes apparent in juvenile birds after their first molt at about eight or nine months of age.
Wildtype lovebirds are mostly green with a variety of colours on their upper body, depending on the species. The Fischer's lovebird, black-cheeked lovebird, and the masked lovebird have a prominent white ring around their eyes. Many colour mutant varieties have been produced by selective breeding of the species that are popular in aviculture.
The black-cheeked lovebird is 14 cm (5.5 in) in length, [2] with mostly green plumage, reddish-brown forehead and forecrown, brownish-black cheeks and throat, orange bib below the throat which fades to yellowish-green, white eye-rings and grey feet. Adult have bright red beaks, while juveniles of the species are similar but with a more orange bill.

Life restoration of a pair of Agapornis longipes. Agapornis longipes was a small species of parrot with relatively large legs compared to other lovebirds. The wing bones of this fossil species are comparable in size to those of the extant Fischer's, Lilian's and black-cheeked lovebirds, suggesting it was about as large as these small modern forms.
