So I just got my new lovebird, when we got him we were surprised about his colour, we expected a green with red face lovebird, but we got this instead.
Lovebird
He is still a cutie so I am happy, but I am curious about what colour mutation he is, I think he is a Slate, but I am not sure. I can't ask the breeder because the way we got him was from asking a pet store to order him, so they sent them a random bird (I know, not the best decision but it was the ONLY way to get a parrot where I live).
Also any tips on helping to tame him would be great, since I can tell he was never handled before being sent, he didn't even eat millet until I showed him a video of birds eating it, then he finally ate it and became 10x happier, he is still scared of my hand though since I have only had him for 4 days. Thanks for any help.
