Can anyone tell from the photos, how old Oscar might be?

At least five months?
I'm uncertain but Oscar is gorgeous!

Oscar is a little beauty - love the colors! Is Oscar a little girl? I would think that Oscar is older than 6 months because there are no baby bars and I think I see an iris ring in the 5th photo. Hopefully people who are better at this will give you their opinion.

Oscar is male, blue above beak. He's not that young, i wonder if he is a year old or more?

Here's question for Marianne Marlow , Hezz , anyone who has had budgies for years: for budgies who have the stripe feather pattern on their head, each time they molt, does that stripe pattern recede? If they live long enough, will their head become a solid color? Can you "guesstimate" their age by how much solid color is on their head?

In short - no. Hector was a normal Cobalt and lived until he was almost 11. His head bars looked just as they did when he was 2 when he came to live with us.

Also, I only have his previous owners word that he was 2, he could have been older and I'd have had no idea! In short - no. Hector was a normal Cobalt and lived until he was almost 11.

Oscar is a male and an adult. I do not know his age, just that he's older than 8 months old as his baby bars are gone and he has iris rings.

What Marianne Marlow said. Once a budgie is physically mature there is no sure way of determining their age.
