I know budgies molt the forehead barring away, but a lot of the (recessive pied, I’m assuming, from the pink cere and black eyes and how pied he is?) budgies I’ve seen in either pictures or shops have the forehead barring regardless. Does Tenor’s forehead indicate age, or not, because he’s pied?

He will keep a small strip of the bars towards the back of his head, the ones right down to his cere will moult out to white.

Alright, so he is younger than the others, then? He's also considerably lighter and more gentle and I was wondering if that was due to age or something else.
