Eyes with no ring around them is a bird 0 months to approx 4 months of age. Dark grey ring (iris around the birds eyes) is 4-6 months. Grey iris is 6 months to 8 months. Any later than 8 months is a white iris. some varieties dont get iris so their are other ways to tell. Bars on the head/cap. Usually a budgie less than 4 months of age will have bars going all the way down to the cere, if it moults earlier, the bars will dissapear earlier. After 4 months of age it will have no baby bars. Does your budgie have aleg ring? Take a look at this site here, it has examples http://www.budgieplace.com/age.html Link to comment
