Need ID on a lovebird

The poor thing looked so sad in the petstore I just had to buy it and get it in a clean cage. I think there is something wrong with the bottom of the beak though so to be safe, I made a vet appointment.
The petsore couldn't tell me what kind it is or how old it is (it's not banded which is a BIG no no in my state) but it is pretty and not a biter (of course that could be due to the beak). It is a great flier though and what an odd squeaking sound it makes.

I will try to get a pic but here is a description.

Green body
Blue tail feathers
Reddish/pinkish face
Black eyes with white around them.

I am not good at ID'ing these but I think it's either a peachfaced or a fischer's.

Any guesses?

Yup. It's a peach-faced. Steve, what exactly is wrong with the lower mandible? I can't really see anything from the pictures.


(ps... they can be evil, so make sure your beloved parakeet doesn't sit on top of the lovebird's cage. )

The 2 will never meet.
I won't let them out together or near each others cage.

I thought the bottom of the beak had a crack but it turns out the bird is OK.

He only has one flight feather on each side so apparently he has been clipped in the past.

You would not believe how well he can fly with only one on each side.

The clipping was the petstores doing. Not a very good one I might add. These places insist on clipping the wings and have no idea what they are doing.

I hate when They get their feathes clipped. I brought my bird to get her nails trimmed awhile ago and the guy went and clipped the feathers without asking. Then When I bought another bird before I could say anything ,clip, they were gone
