Hi,
I'm new here, and have had my TAG (or he's had me!), Otis, for two weeks now. I got him from a bird store. I know - bad, bad. I shouldn't even have gone in. But I did, and I fell in love with him. Anyway, the owner said he was 'about' 4 months old when I brought him home. I noticed last week that his eyes are starting to lighten in color. Does this seem consistent with that age? I've tried looking on line, and haven't been able to find out at what age this happens. He is still taking two feedings of formula a day, anywhere from 1 to 4 syringes (10 ml) at each feeding. He was banded, but all it had was FL 06, and some other numbers that the vet said would only have meaning to the breeder, and we don't know who that is. So I don't know the hatch date.
Thanks for any information you can give me - I'd really like to know if this age 'guess' is close.
