Budgerigars often become favourites of both children, and adults. Determination of their age to a molt, as a rule, does not cause serious difficulties. But to learn how many years to an adult bird, will be necessary more profound knowledge.
Instruction
1. Pay attention that the exact age wavyof parrots after the first molt which usually occurs in 3 or 3.5 months cannot be defined. Therefore it is possible to tell about a bird which has already more than a year only with confidence, young she or old.
2. If at a parrot of an eye black and big, and the wavy color of plumelets "is indistinct" and begins directly from a voskovitsa, so it is still a baby bird. Besides, at such young birds the mask which usually happens white, yellow or yellowish color is not created. It appears approximately in six months, at the same time the waviness of a color originates already directly from the upper bound of a mask. You will find both a mask, and the accurate wavy drawing, and the created eye pupil with an edging light ring in an adult male. Old parrots often have no plumage around eyes.
3. If you need to understand age of lyutinos or albinos, keep in mind that an iris of the eye of their eyes dark or red even at adult age. Voskovitsa at males from the earliest ptentsovy age remains pinkish-violet. At a female it changes color that allows to determine much more precisely on it the age of a birdie.
4. If at a samochka of voskoviyets blue with presence of white rims around nostrils, then a bird absolutely young. In process of growing of voskoviyets brightens, becomes pale blue or even absolutely white. Points its white-pink or brown color to puberty.
5. Look at a voskovitsa of a male. If it monophonic, pale violet or gentle-pink, then before you - a young parrot. In process of growing the area over a beak changes color and becomes bright blue.
6. Pay attention to a beak. At baby birds up to one and a half-two months a beak of black color, then it brightens. In rare instances, especially at light colors, it occurs earlier: in 20-30 days. Adult birds have a beak of pale yellow or greenish color.
7. To make sure that before you a young bird, look at a tail. At young individuals it short, but quickly grows and reaches the maximum length by two months after the birth.
