Answer
Hi, Affanehsan.  Thanks for posting!

You can buy any color mutation as long as you don't allow them to breed.  You should not cross-breed (hybridize) your lovebirds.  I know some people do cross-breed them, but you really need to keep the gene pool pure.  I would buy another blue masked male and then be more careful so they won't escape.
