I purchased this little lovebird. Not from a breeder They said she was 9 months old. At the time I really didn't think much of it, but I am beginning to think she is closer to 5 or 6 months old. (I don't know gender just saying she cause I don't like calling her an it.). I've had her about a week now and it looks like her color on her head is changing and getting darker. It's kind of speckled. Her beak has no more black on it but she behaves like a baby. Still makes some baby squeaks. And doesn't really like to perch, prefers to settle in my hand or nestle in my hair. She sleeps on the bottom of the cage which I thought she was sick at first but she only sleeps there otherwise she's up playing with her bell or other toys. looks bright and feathers are shiny. Not fluffed up or anything. She still has some grey on her cheeks. And she doesn't have a defined color separation on her head from the peach to green that I've seen in pictures of peach faced lovies. It kind of looks like she is getting ready to molt? Could just be the way she is marked though. Are there other ways to tell if she is still pretty young? I know after a year you really can't tell, but pretty sure she's not 1 year yet. Don't mind my belly fat in the last one. This is where she prefers to sleep on me.
