Blood Parrots...

[1800higgins]

So, I'm curious. I know the natural color of a blood parrot is usually the off white / reddish mix... But that the orange colored blood parrot is natural (well not natural, but breeded that way and not dyed).

I was curious about the dark red parrots though (I think called "purple parrots")... I have heard they are natural, but wasn't 100% positive. I have a bright orange blood parrot that I picked up for $5 (I love him) and I want to get a tank mate for him. I really like the dark red ones, but I don't want to pick up a dyed fish.

Some are natural some aren't.. You can ask and see what the store says, although they could easily lie..

That's what I'm afraid of. It's the only color they had (other then an off white / gray natural color)... So I assumed that they were natural. Plus the store doesn't really carry many (if any) dyed fish that I could find.
