The black-collared lovebird also known as Swindern's lovebird is a small, 13.5 cm long, African parrot in the genus Agapornis and belongs to the Agapornithinae subfamily. The black-collared lovebird is widespread across the African tropical closed rainforest. It is a mostly green parrot with black band on the back of its neck, and a dark greyish-black bill. Both sexes are similar. It is rarely kept in captivity because of its dietary requirement for a native fig.
