The Abyssinian Lovebird or Black-Winged Lovebird is native to mountainous areas and is adapted to cooler weather. From Africa, they are found in southern Eritrea and the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia.
The Abyssinian Lovebird has a general green plumage, though a shade lighter on the head, rump, just above the tail, and the underside.
They are sexually dimorphic lovebirds, meaning the male and female are clearly different in outward appearance. Males have bright red feathers on the forehead and narrowly circling the eye, they also have brown to black outer flight feathers, even as babies. The females head has no red and the wing feathers are green while babies, developing brownish black wing feathers like the males, as they mature.
