I met a pink Grey last year. The weirdest thing I have ever saw. The man said the bird was normal as a youngster and pink feathers started to appear after the first molt until the bird came almost entirely pink, some feather which are gark grey mixed with pink. They are a salmon pink/orangy color. I am new to the board, and have not gone over hte rules on posting a linked picture, but if this is okay I have found a picture that ressembles him. The man had his bird tested by three different vets and they found nothing wrong, so he says. It was just so weird seeing a grey like this. The color is not the same as chicks that sometimes have red that I have seen. I heard that this red on chicks can sometimes be attributed (maybe only in part) to the hand feeding formula and how certain birds "react" to it). I have seen baby Greys where you can obviously see that the chicks feathers began comming in Grey and changed color about the time he was pulled for feeding. I am very interested in this topic, and even more so after seeing the pink Grey. I never thought I'd have ever seen something like him in my life. I met the man recently again and asked him if I can have a picture of his bird. If i ever get around to getting it (and with his permission of course) I will try to share it with you.
