Thanks for reaching out about sunny. Some birds do go through some feather color changes, especially as they mature. Are the green patches feathers or skin? If the skin in changing color, that is more worrisome. Bruising in birds is greenish. If the problems persist or advance, a veterinary visit is recommended.
Good luck.
