I recently discovered Rico’s favorite color is baby pink and he seems to like blue and purples. So, this leads me to this question! What is your bird’s favorite color? If you bird doesn’t seem to have one, how about a least favorite? Rico hates red. No clue why, he just seems to not like it.

I can only tell what my Quaker and GCC favorite colors are, Tom likes pink and Orange the best, seems to dislike blue.
Tony likes most colors, but doesn’t seem too fond of red.

I find it kinda cute that Tom likes pink and tony doesn’t like red! Similar names and similar colors!

Well since I've been teaching Ona colors I think so far her favorite is blue or green. I know she absolutely hates red just like yours does. Training her to learn the color red has actually helped with this a little. When she sees a red object and panics I just tell her "no look it's red see? Just the color red?" She pauses and looks at me like she understands and slowly warms up to it. I did this the other day when giving her a red bell pepper and after explaining it to her she got over her fear.

Ironically her tail is bright red and she has red on her tummy!

Well considering that Salty will often screw up the color training tricks i do with him ON PURPOSE, I have no idea what his fav or hated colors are. Some nights he gets them all 100% correct and some, he is just Fing with me.

I just figured it out !! Salty's favorite color is the color of MONEY; It must be, he loves seeing me shelling out $$$ for toys.
This is golden! Absolutely the BEST response to this thread!

Even though Milly isn’t a parrot (house sparrow!) she likes the color green the best! Red not so much 😅

Percy likes yellow, I try to teach him colours by having four balls of different colours and say green for example then when he touches green I give him a treat, but he always wants yellow and when I say yellow he gets excited, and he sometimes try’s to say “yellow” :)

Oh my god that is so ADORABLE! If dandelions grow in your yard, maybe you should see how he reacts to it!

Never seen a bird who likes gray! That’s interesting!
When Rocky was a baby I mixed her baby formula in a little yellow plastic bowl and beginning after her eyes opened and she started observing the world at about 10 days, she would watch me prepare her formula in the same little yellow bowl up to eight times a day. She started to get so excited every time she saw me take out the little yellow bowl and start the preparations, chirping and running back and forth in her enclosure, practically jumping into the little yellow bowl at feeding time! So, at least back then, yellow was definitely her favorite color.

I don't think Rocky is very keen on red either. She doesn't seem to like her red ball as much as the blue and yellow ones. Not averse to it at all but she's more drawn to blue. She seems more interested in my other blue budgies than the green ones, especially the boys. She's blue and white herself so perhaps she's just a wee bit vain!

Perhaps she is vain! But then again I can’t blame her for liking blue! I and many others like blue too! But it isn’t my favorite color haha rocky is so precious
