Our wee budgie Bobby is now around 5mths old, and having had several pet budgies before him, I've completely forgotten at roughly what age their eyes change? they're still very 'black' and his cere is mostly changed now.....

 

Thanks

8-12 months, great siggy pictures

Spongebob :hap:

That is unless your bird is a recessive pied and if so wont get an iris ring at all. Ive got an 8 month old budgie who as far as I am aware isnt a pied anything but she still isnt showing any signs of an iris ring coming through which is a real mystery, unless she has some sort of recessive in her genes. I have no idea why the ring hasnt appeared at all.

I have a non-pied budgie that I've had for nearly 9 months and he still doesn't have the iris ring either. He is normal colored like the wild ones. Yellow head, green body, black shell markings on wings. Strange. I don't think he will get the rings ever. That's okay, I love his deep black eyes. They are large too because he is an english budgie.

 

My budgie is 14 weeks old now and his eyes are staring to change colour.
