i actually prefer these guys to normal parrots. i dont think its just unfaded tho. i think it has a higher percentage of the non parrot genes than usual. It still can be a con cross. when crosses are done there are so much variation in how the frys come out. i believe it is possible for a parrot con cross to look similar. That being said i dont think that is what its crossed with tho that usually repairs some of the mouth deformities. after running my mouth for so long I dont know what its crossed with. Its probably not con.
