I went in yesterday and they had some blood parrots for sale. The tag said they were 2" but they were obviously only an inch. Well they are all not fading yet and not all have the funny looking "beak". Some were more round also while others were more oval shaped(looking at them from the side). Although all could close their mouths... I could see some of them developing the triangular mouth as they grew bigger.
Well anyways I bought 1 that's more oval shaped, can close it's mouth, and it doesn't seen to have the obvious notch on the face. Its been said where bp's come from... But I also heard that bp's are produced with batches of kkp and mammon(but they are the lowest quality of the batch). So I'm just wondering if there is a possibily this is not just a bp?
 
they are what is called a Regular Parrot..same as BP but without the severe notch and closed mouth...those are the type of parrots you want!!
 
I went into petco today and in there blood parrot display tank was a rose queen. The tank they were displayed in only said blood parrot but it was obvious that it was a rose queen, they can look similar to kkp. I'm sure that's what it was. You have any pics?

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm at work now but yes I have some pics that I will upload later. I think I would like it to be the closed mouth bp the most. So are rose queens made within the same batch as bp's and are you guys familiar with anyone using a rose queen within their rt project?
 
heres mine I recently picked up, its female and you can see the eggs behind her

Sorry I don't have enough space on my phone to download the vid. I assume they are both of kkp? Thank you for confirming Petco sells higher quality fish than bp. I have been going to mine for years and never seen what I bought, a kkp, or a rose queen in the store before.
 
You know I don't know a lot about rose queens, they are beautiful though. I was half tempted to purchase the one I saw yesterday even though I don't have space for him or her. I did hear that they were a cross with a
Midas x Vieja Synspilum.
