Hmmm, you know what I've heard about those red feathers? I've heard two stories: Both from avian vets.
Please forgive me if I don't repeat them properly.

* Those red feathers can be caused by an inflammation of the follicle.
* Malnutrition

Perhaps it could also be a mutation? I don't know? I know it's quite controversary over here.

Hmmmm, unique. But I can't say as I really like it. Looks strange to me.
