If they have a purple color to them, then yes they are dyed. If not, then they are KK parrot.
P.S. - Another name for king kong parrot is purple parrot.

Good to know because we have a king kong male I also heard the purple were a very red parrot. Would a kk add size to the rt because some of our first batch are heavy bodied fish and man they grow fast.

Ehh, being red can be for any parrots out there. The name purple is just used for KK parrots because some came out with very light purple color to their orangeness. Overall, the red thing has nothing to do with how it got it's name purple.

Ok thanx very interesting info should I find another fiss with a true red color to cross with the fry or just keep breeding them back to themselves. Will the pearling eventually fade or is it a dominant gene kind of thing.
