:fun:

if those 2 birds are hybrids at all, they are very marginal, they look like good specimens to me at first sight
if they are 2 males it's not a problem, they will socialize and bond

why the hell shopkeepers and other characters that run animal business don't have a clue, and to make things worse... tell misleading lies to their customers?
that's really annoying

and then... incorrect advice on kakariki could be acceptable/forgivable, as they are not very common birds, but when you see aviaries and cages in so-called professional businesses full of hybrid lovebirds... then you feel like giving up hope.
Thank god internet and websites like kakariki.net, and other forums where doing the right thing goes above all.

Same as this new trend of selling 20day old chicks to hand feed... sad... really sad, and some breeders saw a quick business there... money + more clutches in less time... JACKPOT
then you see people screaming for help in forums because the little cockatiel/lovebird doesn't eat, it's lethargic, etc...
At least in a French cockatiel forum have been very aggressive with this practice... place and ad or hint about selling un-weaned chicks and you get banned.

Ok... enough off-topic. Sorry!

Cheers / Pablo

Nail length looks normal to me.

In my opinion, those 2 birds are not first generation hybrids.
A 1st generation hybrid:

Also there is an hybrid gallery at kakariki.net
