1st time lovebird owner, need help on mutation:)

[POD]

Hi peeps, anyone can make a wild guess on its mutation? Just curious on it.

Info from breeder:
Age 5-6weeks old but don't really like handfeeding anymore.
Gender unknown and not important to me as not for breeding.
Breeder only mentioned it's Green Pied?

Anymore input on its mutation?
Btw, I name it Kiwe

Many thanks & cheers!

looks like a single dark factor green pied


at 5-6 weeks old, watch very carefully for signs of regression and weigh him daily to make sure he is maintaining his weight. make sure he is eating. keep watch for small black droppings (they would indicate he is not eating enough)

Thanks for your kindest reply.
I love the yellow and was hoping to see more after the molting.

Yeah, we are monitoring closely and it's eating on its own. Handfeeding at the same time too.

Cheers!

My ideal coloration:

he might get more yellow as he molts. pied pattern does change a bit. in my opinion, the pieds are the most beautiful
