My GCC, Trixie hates the color red. Red clothes, red nail polish, red toys, the lists goes on and on. Every morning when we change her zupreem pellets, we find her pellet bowl littered with red pellets.:eek:
She eats all the other hues but NOT the red, lol.

So, do any of your fids hate certain colors?

That's interesting about Trixie and Capt Jack!

Can't say that Boomer hates a color as absolute as Trixie does with red. Although he did despise this new phone case I was given as a gift. It was white with bright orange. He would attack the phone and nip me to drop it. I switched to my old case which was just all white and he stopped attacking the phone. He has orange toys and he's fine with those though. So I don't know, birds are strange like that I guess!

My Beaks actively prefer toys that are red or yellow, but I haven't noticed them disliking any particular colour. Dominic seems to dislike green pellets, as those are the last ones left in his dish. He also prefers his pink and white whiffle ball to the red and blue one. I like to think it's because of galahian solidarity...

Percy prefers yellow toys and only eats his yellow pellets. He definately likes yellow. As for colours he doesn't like - I haven't seen anything in particular.

I have a hunch Zeus doesnt like black. Whenever I have a black shirt on, he flairs if I come near him.

Quaker parrot, Ralph
Ralph hates anything that's orange-- especially bright orange. He will eat orange pellets, but rejects most other foods that are orange.

Georgie was like that! She refused to eat things of certain colors and even chewed up her toys in color sequence. Gilbert doesn't seem to have a preference. Georgie was also not left foot dominant, and Gil is. Hm

Our fids are such interesting creatures, aren't they? I need to check the foot dominance of my fids, ruffled. How intriguing!

When my sweet baby Amazon, Bacci was still alive, his favorite color was orange. He would always choose orange toys first.
