spoiler Parrot Pirate Multicolored Feathers

[GeekyPsycho 20]

Why does Captain Celaeno's ship have a sail of multicolored feathers? We see color outside of Equestria is rare ( pastelus coloritis ). Even the pirate crew doesn't have much diversity among themselves- aside from the captain, they are all green and red, and they wear an occasional brown or yellow. It interesting that you rarely see blue, purple, or pink, yet they have multicolored feathers that spring from their ship...

They had those feathers long before Rainbow Dash came along... within the show, there is no cannon for (sentient) blue, pink, or purple birds. How did this become a symbol of their identity? What could be the source of these rainbow feathers as their parrot pirate symbol?

It's because they're gay

I think it might just because they are birds and the colors are just a natural part of their species culture but doesn't really have a definitive origin.

But we haven't seen any sentient blue, purple, or pink parrots. They are all green and red, or yellow. And they don't really carry around items of this color. Other than the sail, the entire ship tends to stick to the green, red, yellow, and brown color scheme.

No there are some other decent colorful birds too...

beside i wouldn't say their are "blend" color I think they are just going by the natural colors for the different species of birds in general. You got a toucan, Macaw, some parakeet, cockatoo, Poicephalus ects. And they are pirates, so it would make sense for their attires  to be less "colorful" to give out the pirate-y vibes.  You don't often see a pirate crew overly dress in multicolor. Otherwise you wouldn't take them serious. Overall I don't think having "colorful colors" is the main point about these parrot crew....it there because it's just there.
