I had a few young diamonds fledge this week I noticed the rump of one of the young was different to the normal red ,it was more pink to orange.I will see what it's like when it gets older.The parents are normal coloured birds.
Has any one else seen this before?

Like other animals, their young won't necessarily look like the parents. For example, if an all black cat and a all white cat have babies, they probably won't be all black or all white or black and white. There might be tabby cats. So yeah, there's always a possibility that the young will look different from the parents.
Have a nice day!

As this was four years ago, it would be interesting to hear what the young turned out to be. And any creatures can only produce young that look different to them if they are carrying recessive genes for something. e.g. brunette parents producing a blonde child (probably had blonde grandie on each side)
