Parrot Identification?

[Ecclesiarch]

Hi,

I recently obtained a parrot but am having trouble finding what specific species it is. What type do you think it is?

Thanks.

Moustache?

Not a moustache parakeet, it has a green-white underside and is almost twice as large as a cockatiel.

How do you acquire a parrot without knowing what kind it is? Surely the previous owner/breeder/pet shop could tell you?

And I agree it looks like a moustache. If you do a google images search they look very much like your parrot. It is hard to tell as the picture you attached is very dark

Because I live in China and they are not sold with proper identification. Thanks for the answers, I will keep it in mind.

Oh wow. That must be so strange. I can't imagine buying a pet and not knowing what it is!

It is strange sometimes but a bird is a bird in the end!

It is a moustache, I own one.

Yup, it is definitely a moustache!
