Post: When does a Red Belly have it's adult coloring?

Posted by Cheryl on 1/27/05

I have a Red bellied Parrot that is near 10 months old.
S/he has lots of orange coloring under the wings and spots
of orange on the tops of the wings, but the chest is grey
with some grass green as well as some orange mixed in. I
am thinking female, but am still not sure. As I said, the
bird is pretty close to 10 months old, so I would think the
adult colorign would already exist, but I am no expert.

Should I wait until the next molt, or should I assume the
bird is female?

Thanks for your help in advance.
