Photo of What kind of parrot/lovebird?

Thanks for your reply. He does look like my Peach-faced Lovebird. The wild one was much better looking in person than in the photo. The photo was taken with a very old camera and the colors are not correct. I was unable to adjust the colors. My pet bird is very small and has a smaller white eye ring. Perhaps I am not accurately remembering the size of the wild bird; however, my husband stated that the wild bird was much larger than my pet. My pet has more of the reddish color on his head and behind his eyes as well as his chest area. I have included a photo below where I have tried to brighten the colors of the wild bird with my pet superimposed on it and his body turned a bit to try to have their positions more similar for comparison.

Both the unidentified bird and my pet bird seem to have the same type of personalities. Friendly and talkative. I have wondered why the wild little guy was migrating by himself each year.
