Looks like they're going to be Wisp, as in will-o'-the-wisp. I think the color is violet dilute? Not seeing a lot of blue on that nose, so possibly a hen, but it's still too early to tell for sure. They're so beautiful :). Poor Joe looked annoyed when I asked for a bird within 30 seconds of entering the store, but he had already promised me a larger cage for the probably boys, leaving a whole cage open for might be hens. That leaves a few months before a larger aviary needs to be built!

@MarcoJustMarco Me too! I had budgies and a cockatiel as a teen, then another cockatiel temporarily in my late 30s, early 40s, rehomed because Joe's dog wouldn't leave the bird alone. That bird was a rescue and cranky, it's been ages since a cute birdie played at my feet as I puttered about. Can't wait for Sunny and Sky to pick up on this is how it's done.

In my previous life, when I lived in MI, Ex and I used to keep and breed parrots. Everything from zebra finches to macaws and cockatoos.
We had an outside building with the breeding stock and we kept the pets inside.
The pet lineup was 1 scarlet macaw, 2 african greys, 2 amazons, 1 umbrella cockatoo, 4 conures, 1 quaker and about 6 cockatiels.
We used to buy air filters in bulk lol

@MarcoJustMarco Wow, that's quite a flock! I am jealous, but only a little. Like, I'd like to be a friend of someone with a flock like that to visit, but wow you had your hands full, lol.
