I'd like to see a picture of the Agapornis roseicollis catumbella to compare it to the Agapornis roseicollis roseicollis but I can't find a picture of it anywhere.

Can some one hook me up?

I don't suppose anyone has any of the catumbella subspecies in their possession? I read that there probably none in North America but I don't know if that's correct or not.

Micha,

I can't seem to find a side-by-side photo comparison but here's a link featuring a catumbella:

Well... Those pictures were quite disturbing... But it sure helped.

I know it sounds crazy but my wild form lovebird has very dark coloring... Maybe I'm imagining it... Should I post a picture here for analysis?

Pictures are worth a thousand words.
It's much easier to help if we see photos.

In the genetics section there is a sticky that has pictures posted of different mutations.
