Hi guys I have a question I'm wondering do the feathers come in darker after the four months moult because I'm wondering if Jake is really a girl although the bredder told me it was a boy I'm not sure because the blue behind his eye is not very bright maybe I should change the name lol.

The feathers are a bit brighter after the first moult, you can tell whether jake is a boy by looking on the edge of his wings and on his rump, males have cobalt blue on the edge of the wings and cobalt blue on the rump. there is a thread somewhere on how to tell i will try and find it for you :)

Yes it's pretty easy to see if it's a male or female.
