What is this type of Parrot?

Question

I saw a parrot in a pet shop. it was bigger than a budgie but smaller than a cockatiel and had a short tail. Also, it was dark green and i think it had black speckles and a pinkish, curved beak. there were actually two of them but i've never seen that type before.

I didn't ask them, and now its, bothering me. Does anyone know what type of parrot it is?

Answer 1

Either a parrotlet or a lovebird.

Though the pinkish beak makes me lean towards a parrotlet.

Answer 2

Could it had been a Parrolet?
