The Black-cheeked Lovebird is a Vulnerable small parrot endemic to a small area of southwestern Zambia in the Zambezi Valley, with a black face and chestnut forehead contrasting with a bright orange-red bill and green body. It inhabits woodland dominated by mopane trees near permanent water sources. Its tiny range makes it highly vulnerable to habitat degradation and illegal capture for the cagebird trade.
