Bird jumped in puree, will the color come out?

My 3 month old albino cockatiel jumped in mango puree. And even after a bath the yellow won’t come off. What to do?

Hi,

Birds molt their old feathers and grow new ones year round, and go through a heavy molt once or twice a year. So the old feathers may remain yellow until he molts them naturally.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
