Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I am sorry if it isn't.
Thing is I am about to buy myself my first african grey, but the person who is selling it sent me a video of the parrot and it looks a bit different than what I've normally seen.

Can someone more experienced tell me if this looks healthy? I don't want to buy before making sure everything is alright. The client said it is more rare and wants to charge me more for it. But I don't know what to believe.
Hello!
It looks like red factor mutation, which is a feather color mutation. The coloring isn't linked to health issues in babies, but can indicate dietary issues when adult grays suddenly start growing out red feathers.
Such cute little babies. LOVE their sweet baby sounds!
I love that you're having such a breakthrough with Sukei. It's so rewarding when something like that happens. And I'm sure your skin is grateful too. π
