What type of bird?

[change007]

Hi there,

We purchased a baby cockatiel yesterday but we are not convinced if it is a cockatiel.

Can anybody please confirm this for us?

Thanks

its definitely not a cockatiel haha i think it might be a lovebird ?

haha funny glad we checked thanks tab_xo we were thinking a love bird too. Either a Fischers or a Masked Lovebird

 

[tab_xo]

yes looks very similar to both of them... very cute either way!

yeah I thought it was the cutest cockatiel i have ever seen (which I'm not a big fan of, no offensive cocketiel lovers) and the reason we got it.

We have a green cheeked conure that is about 10 months old. Do you know if they can play well together or is it just a trial and error thing? We currently have them in separate cages.

ahh im not sure, i have only ever had one bird at a time.. there are alot of members who have a few birds together, some love each other, some dont get along..
im sure some members will be here to give advice soon
just keep them in separate cages and slowly introduce each other and hopefully will be friends!

It looks like a masked lovebird to me.

Definitely a lovebird. It looks like a hybrid between a masked and a peach face.
