From the picture they all look like Pacific's to me. Not sure of your question but a pacific and a green rump are different within the species. They look like Pacific's to me. It's the most common P'let there is.

I see... Cool! We're they advertised as Pacific's?

Pacific's are the most common and the least expensive of the species. I have a female Pacific. She is a split to a fallon (bright yellow, with ruby red eyes) They are great lil parrots. Smallest parrot in the world, so I've been told. They are a true parrot. Make sure you provide a varied diet with these guys or they will just eat seed and millet 24/7. So give veggies, fruits etc on a daily basis. I also feed Harrison's pellets, Hi Potency fine. Plets eat a lot. Sometimes you wonder if they ever stop and come up for air. LOL - they also love to forge.

Ps... There are some great video's on YouTube of these guys, you should check them out. Be prepared to be entertained. :)

But you knew they weren't love birds... Funny.

Yes, they a very energetic. Males tend to be louder than the females. They love to chatter. If they a upset about something, you will definitely know. They stomp around like lil dinosaurs with their hackles up. They can be fearless so be careful around other birds and animals. They will take on larger animals. If they bite, and they can be temperamental around breeding time, if they bite they like to hang on, so just a heads up. :)

You can teach them many things, some will even talk. :)

Personally, one is better. I wanted mine to really bond with us, and she has. They don't get along with other birds, they a very territorial, so no cage sharing. I have a Senegal too, both my birds are the same age 5 months and they do not get along. See my signature picture below. My P'let is always the lil snotty instigator.
