Was reading one of my bird books today....

Over a period of about 6-8 months, the darker green feathers will be molted out and replaced by brilliant yellow ones on the chest, head and back.

Hopefully other members will be able to assist you further.

First molt typically occurs within the first 6-12 months of a birds life. Some may molt sooner, but that's the considered average age of when they molt... so you are looking at a possible 3+ months before it comes!
