When my Lovebird matures will it have a peachfaced color?

Right now it's just green and it's only 8 weeks old, will the color on its head change as it gets older?

Here's a pic:

Awww he's so cute!!!!! And his feathers won't necessarily change, he looks like a color mutation... I don't know too much about lovebirds though. Where's Pchela or Natacha? :mrgreen:

typically yes, they are a muted color when a baby, and when they are about 4 months old they will begin to brighten up in coloration.

he looks to maybe be an olive peach face(olive green body with peach head) or a dutch blue(blue body with a light cream face) but the darkness of the picture and the age of the bird are making it hard to tell!! :lol: any way you can take more photos in a brighter area?

The people at the pet store said she was the most tame lovebird they'd ever had She even lets me flip her upside down on her back and other things. It's amazing.
