Hey,
So I got a young Plum head parakeet. It's a medium sized parrot. And I know the characteristics of both male and female but when they are young. You usually can't tell the diffirence. Males have a pink/plumish head with a black ring around the neck while females have a dull bluish gray head. But since my parrot is around 5 months old it has a grayish head. I was told by the previous keeper he is still supposed to get the plum. If he is male that is. I was wondering does someone here know at what age they are supposed to get that pigmentation? Thanks in advance!
