Parrot colour change?

[Burtess]

My lfs has a bunch of 2" parrots that are basically a mottled colour with no orange on them yet for $6.99.
Faded blood parrots around here go for $24.99 each.

Will these guys for sure fade and turn orange? If so I will pick some up.

they should go through a few color changes before the adult stage

They will all fade, but buying them this way you have no idea what color they will be.
I buy them this way, and my children can watch them fade, kinda like a surprise.
I have some that came out yellow, and some that came out orange, but I haven't ever bought one this way that came out a deep orange. For us it's OK since we like them either way, but if you are hoping for a twenty five dollar fish, you probably won't get it that way.
