Changing Colour

[Glam]

Holly is starting to "change" colour.... the feathers on her back and wings are much more red than before, they used to be completly yellow, but they now have red tips and "spots".... more noticeable when she is wet :)

There has been no change to Holly's diet, what else could be causing the change?

Sounds like possible red suffusion. How old is Holly? Any recent photos?

It's definitely more on one side than the other, here are some pics I took this morning. She hates having her pic taken, all she wants to do is bite the camera :happy:

Oh, sorry she is about 2 and half years young :)

Just bumping this up :2cents:

Does she have an iodine block, coloured perch/cuttle or a coloured toy that may be losing it's colour when she rubs against it? I seen it before with a pink budgie!

If not it could be red suffusion. Many causes really: stress, disease or simply a genetic modification with no health risks.
