Young birds are very similar to the adults, except for the fact that they are duller and the base of their mandible has brown markings. They are one of the smaller lovebirds, about 14 cm (5.5 in) [4] in length and 43-58g weight. While most Fischer's lovebirds are green, several color variations have been bred.
