Factors In Parrots Mean Color Variations
If You Are Adopting An African Grey Parrot, How Do You Know If It Is Really A Red Factor?
If you are looking to adopt an African Grey (AG), you have to be careful about being sold a 'red factor' AG. They tend to cost more money, which is true to form in the sense that breeders have less parrots that are unique colors. It can take several generations to create color variations - or factors- in parrots. So, a higher price is fair.
African Grey parrots are, of course, grey, white and red. But not pink...
There are some legitimate red-factor parrots, and some parrots with feather-follicle damage.
One of my avian veterinarians said that no, there's nothing detrimental about an African Grey having damaged feathers or plucking. It's like you having a bald spot. Not attractive on an AG, but often it just looks bad.
If your pet is at home and plucks, obviously he or she won't be cold or anything. However, it is super-important to dig into what is causing your parrot to pluck. There could be a variety of reasons, including health issues. (go to parrotbliss.co... to read about causes for plucking and some things you can do to try to remedy it).
