Amazing, I couldn't have done that with birth certificates in hand.... I guess their coloring gives their age away Aratingettar?

Young suns do change their colors in a distinct way. Heres nice video:

Younger suns have a lot of green and lose it in the first year - 2.
Are these your birds? One you're thinking of getting? The general demeanor of high against the cage, as far away from picture-taker as possible, alert, indicates that these two may not be very tame or may've been parent raised. Just a guess.

Neotropical Pigeon - "Skittles" (born 3/29/10)
Cockatiel - "Peaches" (1995-2015) R.I.P.
Budgie - "Sammy"

Budgie - "Sandy"
(1987-1989) R.I.P.
I agree about the bottom one, 3 or 4/mo. but I think the top one is much younger than 9m to 1yr. More like 7-9mo. I got Skittles when he was exactly 1yr 2w and he had ALL his adult colors. In fact, the picture of him in my avatar was taken the day after I got him.

Yes they are mine.
I have got 3 other pairs much older than this one. and you are correct they are not very tame. But since they arrived we made some progress, now they will come and eat from my hand.
Any one can tell me at what age the sun conure will be ready for breeding?
