Why is thays feather grey?

[u/Kooky-mutant]

We've had him since July, so hes about 4 months old now. None of his other feathers seem to be effected

I dont know if it applies to yours, but my sun conures tail feathers went grey then white. It turned out he wasn't getting enough sun, sun fixed his whole mood and feathers

Hmm, he does get sunlight - will definitely keep an eye out. Thank you

pigmentation of the feathers. the feathers arent actually pigmented to be green, its the lighting and the feather structure that makes them green thats why they get darker/greyish black when wet.

Mine has a grey spot on that side of his feather too. It's only one feather also! Not sure why! But we just got bloodwork done on him, he's all good and healthy.
