🦜✨ Ever wondered what gives parrots their dazzling reds and yellows? 🌈 New research has revealed that these vibrant colors in parrots come from a unique pigment-modulating enzyme called ALDH3A2, which turns red pigments to yellow! Unlike most birds, parrots don’t rely on diet for their color; instead, they synthesize pigments called psittacofulvins right in their feathers.
