Triton age estimation

[mutafo]

Hi

I have bought a male sulphur-crested triton cockatoo about a month ago. His weight is 400 gm and his length is around 12". Can anyone estimate his age please?

thank you

Hi there, and welcome to the forum.

No, nobody can guess your bird's age without a photo, and even with a picture we may not be able to help you if this is an adult.

May I see his picture? I have a triton female!

Here are his picture.

After a whole of month, he let me pat him. He is so angry although I never leave him without toys...

Very cute! Does he have the blue color around his eyes like mine?

Appears a bit small and light light for a Triton

He's very pretty. He doesn't look like a baby, but also doesn't appear to be very old either. It's always a shot in the dark with parrot ages, but I would guess in the 5-15 range. Did you not get any background info on him when you got him? He looks healthy and well cared for.

What did the previous owner told you about his background?

Could it be an Eleonora?

I think you've got a Lesser Sulphur Crested Cockatoo instead of a triton. And no you can't tell the age of a parrot by looking at them unless they were still adolescent or in the midst of maturity.
