How long have they been on the market? I was only familiar with orange, yellow, and the ones that are orange and white... Not just all white. I went to my lfs yesterday and he had 3 white bp's, so I snatched all of them up. The owner of my lfs doesn't buy and purposely stays away form dyed bp's. They are small(about 1") and appear to be morphing because they also have a few black blotches on them. I will show some pics later tonight. I was just wondering how common they are becausei couldn't find any posts on them and does anybody have any full grown that they can post?
 
They just haven't coloured up yet, they tend to go white, then black then Orange.

Huh? That's like saying an amph of any species would turn white, then black(fading process), and then end up orange. When amph species fade, they go from their dark color(grey with black bars) to orange and the white on the creamsicles shows up later. So what your saying is backwards... Or this is a bp thing that I am unfamiliar with? I don't see these getting any more color to them but you could be right. Either way does anybody else have any pictures of white blood parrots?
 
Some of my old Blood Parrot's went from grey with black barring to patchy black to white, to yellow, to Orange, to pink, to red

Now that's more believable than what you said at first and I'm aware of those changes AFTER the first initial morph. But when they turned white did they stay that way for a few months or was it all part of their peeling process? I'll post some pics soon and we'll see what happens in the future to these guys.
 
Ok. One more thing I wanted to mention... They all are white at the same time. If it was part of a color change they would peel at different times, but those are my thoughts. Here they go!
