danmcq Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 They are both beautiful. The red factor can pop-up at various times in their lives as they molt and regrow feathers. Dayo has one that comes and goes..weird but it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywings Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thsoe red factor or mosaic red feathers can come int to replace the normal grey feathers when a bird has been plucking for a while and the feather follicle responds with a color change. Kind of like a scar tissue thing with us humans. Or a dog that has had an injury or surgery and the hair comes back in a darker color as black on a grey dog or dark brown on a tan dog. There are other causes including genetic ones but this is the most common reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
