Do parakeet colors change as they mature or start out lighter and darken as they get older?
If you are referring to their feathers getting darker or lighter as they mature then no. But in normal types of parakeets, such as the normal greens and blues, they have bars on their faces going down to their beaks that will vanish as they mature. If you are asking about their Cere (the fleshy part on their beak) It can be quite complicated. In MALE babies the cere will be a TRANSLUCENT pink with maybe some OPAQUE white around the nostrils. For FEMALES the cere will be mostly an OPAQUE white and maybe little blue. This is not always set in stone however. When they mature, males will have BLUE ceres and when it is breeding season they will turn an even darker blue. Keep in mind that this is for NORMAL parakeets; not lutinos or albinos. In normal female parakeets, the cere can range in colors. The femal's cere may be brown, white, pink, and various shades inbetween. When a female enters breeding season their cere will get a crusty look and will be a dark brown. After breeding season has passed the cere crust will fall off.
