Your Rio is not a fischer's, my dear. And you've only had him for, what? a couple of weeks? Same with your tiels, one is a juvenile and the other is maybe going through puberty right now. Birds change as they become sexually mature and as they years go by and they can find no mates of their own. Especially aviary birds!
Pajarita wrote:No, Rio is a blue mutation of a black-cheeked lovebird, not a fishcher's (it has nothing to do with the eyelids). And it doesn't matter that he is an adult, you've only had him for a couple of weeks and he is still in his honeymoon stage while Loki and Rocco are way too young for anybody to say what their personalities are. In two or three years, you will know about their personalities but not now...
Pajarita wrote:Actually, yes, black-cheeked do have a full black mask, same as the black mask do. The only difference is in the way they look from the top and, as you only posted one single picture from kind of like the front and bottom, I can't tell so, yes, he could very well be a black masked and not a black cheeked. Check the top of his back, if there is white there, he is a black masked, if there isn't, he is a black cheeked. But he is definitely NOT a fischers.
As to Rocco and Lokki, I hope they continue been affectionate with you but I don't need to be there and see them with you to know that juvenile and young adult birds change as they get older because they all do - and most especially aviary birds when you have both male and female (as you now have). Same as I don't need to be there to know that Rio is still in his honeymoon stage because, again, this is the way it is with all newly rehomed parrots. This is not a matter of my opinion versus yours, my dear, it's a matter of how birds behave as they change physically as they get older or more self-assured which, although there are variances by individual personalities, it's pretty standard when it comes to certain things.
