My pied parrot finch just finished up a molt and he is almost completely yellow. Absolutely beautiful! The picture doesn't do justice... I have to get me a new camera soon!!

How old is he and how much lighter did he get with each molt?

I think he is almost two years old. Yes... ye got lighter each molt.
I think I am going to have to find him another girl. He just doesn't seem to be interested in the one I choose for him.

If Elvis has a black NFSS band then he is a year and half old (would have been born in Jan 10') if it is a gold NFSS band then he would be just a month older he would have been born in Dec 09', so really he isn't that old to be so yellow already but either way he is beautiful.
