Have you noticed the difference in person or in photos?

 

If in photos, it may be the quality of the photo. Mine looks totally different whether I use the flash or not or how the natural lighting is, etc.

 

The feathers can "dull" a bit as they get older (the feathers, not the bird). Then they'll molt and be all bright and shiny again. If their human "pets" them a lot, that can leave skin oils, etc., on their feathers and that can dull them also and even start eating away at the delicate hair-like feathers, leaving black tips until they molt again.

 

Most health/diet-related feather issues cause bars, stripes or discoloration (yellows, etc) on the feathers.

 

Hope this helps.

That they are. They're a very different bird than the Greys (and the males are "stereotypically" very different than the females). They are all wonderful in their own way.

 

But yes, getting used to one is probably a good idea! :-)
