I heard that there's supposed to be a proper shape for the parrot's mouth(front-view)

all the parrots i usually see has a triangular shape mouth.
but there is this one huge parrot at a local fish store that has a shape like an figure 8 and looks like a human trying to stretch their lips outwards.

Which is the best mouth of the parrot?
pics would be great!
 
one that they can preferably eat with. i have seem some JACKED up ones before!!!

Do not get one with this mouth :D

this guy can clearly "NOT" close or even almost close it's mouth.










haha this was my dad's fish :headbang2
 
I think there is a lot of variation within one spawn of the shape of the mouth. I am not a fan of the mouth shape that doesn't allow them to close, so I picked up this one. It was the only one of about 30 in the tank that had a "normal" looking mouth.

fishfreak that's the same mouth that i'm talking about! the figure 8 shape.

burtess cool looking mouth! i read they don't use their mouths to eat so it doesn't matter(i think) he's not smiling though..


and some of the fih have these yellow dots(pores?) on their forehead but is this normal?
and there's some white stuff or white patterns on the tail too
