Older Green Cheek or other white ring eyed conures, pics please

[webchirp]

Can anyone who has a conure older than 10 years, post a picture of the eye and white ring or facial close-up? I am wondering if our older conures particularly cheekies can be assessed by the look of the eye. I am wondering if the shadowing under the lower lid that I see on some of the older conures is an indication? Thanks!!

You made me curious about my GCC. She's 14, but I don't have good photos of her eyes when she was younger - I didn't have a digital camera.
But, looking back at them I really don't see much of a change. Possibly her iris has lightened very, very slightly; however the differences in iris color seem to be mostly from lighting.

Now that is a fantastic response!!! Does her eye ring look a little more wrinkled? i was wondering this about my Happy.

Interesting post! I'll have to keep a watch on this. Neelix is very young so I can't help there.
