Default Lovebird Species Identification

Hi.
This may seem like a silly question, but I am curious as to the answer. Anyway, I have this PC game The Sims in which you can get pet lovebirds, and I am curious as to what species of lovebird they are. I've attached screenshots of lovebirds from the game. Could someone please identify the lovebirds in each picture?
Thank you very much for your help,
maximum411

BTW, the image in lovebird.bmp is not how the bird appears in the game, but simply the coloring pattern used to cover the lovebird in the game, so the shape is a bit unusual. If you can't tell just by the coloring, email me back and I'll send you a pic of how it actually appears in the game.

Red beak probably means a Fischer Lovebird. They also have yellow & green body colouring.

Description

Fischer's lovebirds have green backs, chests, and wings, their necks are a golden yellow and as it progresses upward it becomes darker orange. The top of the head is olive green, and the beak is bright red. The upper surface of the tail has some purple or blue feathers. A. fischeri has a white circle around its eyes. Young birds are very similar to the adults, except for the fact that they are duller and the base of their mandible has brown markings. They are one of the smaller lovebirds, about 14-15 cm in length and 43-58 g weight.

That's what I thought about the one in lovebird.bmp, but what about the one in lovebird inventory.bmp? Does that look like a Fischer's as well, because it looks a bit different?
Thanks

they might be having you on there....
there are peach-face mutations like this one:

Quote:
Pied Peachface Lovebirds

The first chick I ever hatched was a pied. His mother was a lutino and his father was a normal green. Knowing nothing of lovebird mutations, I assumed that if you crossed a green bird with a yellow one you got a green and yellow one! As it turns out, his mother was actually a pied lutino, but it didn't show up very well to the untrained eye.
Fischer's mutations from same site.
