I was recently veiwing the Alaska Craigslist and I saw this ad for baby lovebirds so I decided to have a look.It seems to me that these aren't babies and maybe the owner is plucking the featehrs out to make them appear to be younger then they are?Please correct me if I am wrong,there is just something about those birds that doesn't look right.

here is a link http://anchorage.craigslist.org/pet/1016568175.html

Yes, they are babies, as you can tell by the brown/tan tinge to their beaks. It appears these two are around 10 weeks of age. Likely they were plucked by either the mother or father bird. The feathers WILL regrow.
Hope this helps!

I agree with Kim on this one. The feathering will grow back you will have 2 very pretty American Cinnamon Green Lovebirds! :)
