Found an oddball parrot on boxing week sale! question

[Rafini]

So I picked up 3 tiny parrots for less than 5 bucks, and they were all yellowish with a little orange on their gill plates except for one that was bright reddish pink around the front, with irridescant sparkly fins and a blueish face. It reminded me of a redhead cichlid coloration but on a regular parrot.


So you know how regular midevils that look different when younger will grow up to be a different coloration than the others (EG a white one vs a very red orange one)
Is it possible that this parrot will end up with different coloration to the other two yellow ones that I got?

I apologize for algae on glass, I just got a new camera and was so excited to check it out that I just leaped into taking pictures

Regular yellow babies

and the oddball

They will all change colour as they get older don't think the one will be any different once the change colour

Harleyboy I`ve kept parrots a lot over the years, I am aware they will all change color, but you know how some adult parrots are more red, or orange or yellowish orange? there seems to be a fair amount of difference between the colors of the ones I`ve kept before. And I haven`t seen a baby one as cool as this before, normally they are just brownish with yellow patches etc. Kinda like the other 2 I picked up.

I believe the one that looks red will look like a normal orange parrot and the other two might look yellow.
Those are just unfaded parrots. When they fade they will turn orange/yellow. The red will just look nicer imo

Yeah I am hoping to get a really nice bright red one, and two orangish ones

 

[the animal guy]

the one that's more red will be more red "forever" trait wise. It's the individuals' color showing quallity. When they develope, they will all get better colors, but the one that packs the red ; I guarantee yo in 6 months to a year update, with them in the same tank same water, the red one will still be the one that stands out by "redness at the head." And he's Probably a male

Yeah judging by my 12 years or so of keeping and breeding cichlids I can say its a male, I've been wrong a few times but I would bet good money on that turn out.

It's been years since I kept parrots though, the red one is fighting with the others and he is a little ragged up right now but I have plenty of caves and hide aways, they are in a 120 gallon so plenty of room
