After what seems like a "stalled" moult that lasted several months, Peeper (my Scarlet Chested Parakeet) is finally getting his adult coloration. He was born in August 2009 so I guess it took a year - though the books say he may even get better looking over the next year.
In addition to his coloration, his wing feathers finally grew back so he is flying very well now and seems very happy doing his laps around my house and sunroom.
He still doesn't fly over and land on me on his own, like Twitter my Bourke, but he will go on my arm or finger, as you can see. He does like to nibble my face and arm and will walk up to me, to do that, if I lay on the floor. So he's still a little shy but he's getting friendlier...
