Coral Pink: 7 Darken Red and 13 Darken Blue
Royal Blue: 30 Darken Blue, 10 Darken Red

Not sure if I fed it too much blue (or if there's a cap to it)... kind of stuffed it like a thanksgiving turkey.

OK then!

There's proof of my premise that only one food is affecting your bird!
Both were fed using deepen red AND blue .... obviously one is red, and the other blue.

It also proves that there's a cap on how many feedings will actually affect the color, aside from the fella that fed 36 "lighten" fruits of every variation to his bird, and ended up the same color as my 10x Lighten blue.....

Except that the ratio of food used isn't the same. They would need to do 3 red first, 7 blue second then second person do 7 blue first, 3 red second for instance. Equal but opposite.
If you mix 7 drops of red and 13 drops of blue paint, its going to be different than if you mix 30 drops of blue and 10 of red paint.

It's not paint, it's light to start with ... light where red and green makes yellow. Otherwise they'd give us different base colors to play with ... Yellow being a primary color in paint, instead of a blended color in light.


I'm also starting to get the feeling that there's more than a little of the crappiest RNG on the planet involved here....


There's also the possibility that there are "tiers", but given the example of 36x lighten everything to 10x lighten blue arriving at "Honey Yellow, and also now the confirmed result of just 1x "new feathers" with "lighten blue" ALSO arriving at Honey yellow ...... I think it safe to say that it's more likely RNG involved here, on TOP of a single effective food.

It's still a different ratio, doesn't matter if its cmyk or rgb. And since we're limited to a set of dyes instead of a color slider, the game is going to pick whatever it feels is closest. And yeah, until we have a few people do the exact same thing, I'm just going to assume SE added in some good ol' fashioned RNG.

Yeah, after seeing some recipes creating different colors, I'm wondering if each snack doesn't increase/decrease by a certain amount but instead can, for example, increase the number by some amount between 4 and 10...

Thank you for this! I tried this recipe, and achieved Sky Blue. Seems to be some RNG involved in the process.
From here, if one were to try for Ice Blue, I assume you would need to remove Red and Green. I'll try to adjust it and post my results here. For now, below is my image of Sky Blue.
