That will vary depending on where you are.

Do you mean personata? My Aoife is a personata, blue mutation, and here in Ohio she was $150.

Yes, black masked is the common name for Personatus

Personata refers to the group consisting of; Fischeri, Personatus, Nigrigenis, Linianae (not sure of the spelling of that one, they are aka Nyasa)

Linianae (not sure of the spelling of that one, they are aka Nyasa)

lol I was close,it is Lilianae - common names Nyasa or Lilians lovebird

Edit;
Forgot to say, that ¨Personata group¨ is basically a fancy way of saying ¨eye-ring species¨

I found a couple here in Ohio for $120-$150. I'd imagine it all depends on where you live and the demand.

Okay, thanks so much!

I just had a quick look for curiosity (and because I do have a soft spot for that black mask!)
The Blue lines were almost double the cost. I am not sure if that will be the same over in the US but definitely something to consider.
(Green here goes for 15-20 euros papillero, blue is 35-40)

Where I got Aoife, she was the only blue one, and they had some fischeri, but they mostly have peach faced. I didn't know anything when I got her, except that I wanted a blue lovebird!

Was she the most expensive?
I see here they are, with PF being the least expensive (compared to other species of the same mutation)

I'm not really sure, she may have been 175usd. I was so focused on her I didn't really pay any attention to the others! I have a feeling she was, though.

rescue birds are usually cheaper and better because you're giving them a new home and it's cheaper. i got my peach faced for 20 bucks there, she was badly taken care of and i'm glad she got a better home

breeder lovebirds are tipically 100 to 200 bucks depends on the breeder and where you live
