Need help identifying lovebirds!

[TessaG]

Hey guys! I have had peach-faced lovebirds before, two were a breeding pair, and one was a single male. It turned out my single male was a hybrid. He died at two and a half years. I don't want to make another mistake! So if you'll bear with me, these are some of the lovebirds I am looking at - I'm happy to start with just one bird, but I want to make sure it can BREED. One is what the seller is calling a 'blue peach-faced lovebird' - and the other a 'green peach-faced'. But I wonder why, if it's a peach-face, it has rings around its eyes? Wouldn't that either make it a fisher or a hybrid that I can't breed? There's also two blue ones that another seller is calling 'masked blue'. Please help! (I couldn't attach the other pics...so here are the links, hope that's ok!)

Peach faced never have rings. If it looks peachfaced but has rings, then it is a hybrid.

THAT'S what I thought! But could it be a fischer? Did you look at the pics in the link? It's the one with a tealy blue lovebird and a green and peachy lovebird...I can't tell if it's a Fischer or a Hybrid...

What about the light teal and white one in the picture shown?

I don´t see any hybrids in the links you posted.

The three birds in the first link are all personatus. In the second link there are various birds and all of them are Peach-faced (roseicollis).

THANK you! I adopted one of the 'blue' peach faces - 'he' was friendlier than the others, and had a lot of personality. Since I got him home, though, he seems really lonely - he loves hanging out with my son and I (he's stepped up, eaten from our hands, and sat on our heads, but is still a little wary) but when he was falling asleep I got him into his cage and started pacing back and forth rapidly, pecking at the cage...he's coming from a really crowded situation (9 birds in a tall but about 24" long cage, very narrow) - but the only other bird that he has up for adoption right now is an olive (from a different breeder)...no other peachfaces to be found in Ottawa atm! Not sure if I should just get the olive since they got along, or wait to find him the 'perfect' mate...

Awesome, thanks! When I saw them in person it was clear the peach faces were definitely peach faces lol...
