Hello. Welcome to Bird Board.

thanks for the welcome, as embarassed as i am to admit it i'm not really sure what type he is as i always mean to ask but the staff are always busy and then one of my kids starts playing up or i have to run for the bus because time gets away from me when i'm cooing at the little birdy that i've christened Ike even though he's not mine to name.
i hope i can get him

I'm gonna call it as being a GCC. They're pretty much standard in petshops that sell parrots over here in the UK.

I had a cinnamon, so I'm bias when I say I reckon they are the prettiest. You can expect to pay a little more for him then... I've seen mutations upto around £300.

I hope you manage to get him.
