In natural sunlight the violet pied markings can be rather subtle, more so than in the top picture. The violet rump is quite dark. The right photo shows what a sassy little poser this bird is. Buttercup has a great personality. Buttercup and his mate, Whisper.
Whisper is a very lovely whiteface American cinnamon.
Her body color is very pale and she has a beautiful clean whiteface. It took me a while to find a lovebird mate that was suitable for him. Their new owners are thrilled with them. All four lovebird babies had violet rumps. As you can already see, lovebirds are dramatically beautiful parrots.
