Check out this bird, that is hot pink. When they are born, they are not this color. I can't remember what color the lady said they were when they were born, I just recall her saying they were not hot pink.
There is something in their diet that makes them turn hot pink. I think it was some form of a vitamin. Again, I don't recall, I was rarely close enough to the lady to hear her speak and I kind of wish they had given us some form of a pamphlet.
Safari West feeds all the birds the same food, but these are the only birds that turn hot pink. There is something in their body that tells them to do so when they eat this type of food. I've never seen any other pink birds except for flamingos and I thought these guys were pretty freaking cool.
