Question Crimson Rosella has 2 Yellow Feathers

Bright yellow! He has never had these before, or maybe they were hiding... But is normal for a Crimson Rosella to have a couple yellow ones?

Couldn't tell you if it's normal or not, but if he continues to get more yellow feathers, then I'd recommend a trip to an avian vet to ensure he's healthy.

I know Im realllllly late to this thread but Im curious. Two little random yellow feathers - could this still be normal or does random coloring like that indicate that something medically could be wrong? If a bird molts into different colors than he/she should does that mean something isnt right?

Can't it have something to do with the liver? Or something? I really have no idea but that thought came to mind...
