Goludian molt

[Will_36]

This maybe a silly question but I'm having trouble finding a answer.
If my young gouldians fledge next week will they moult before next years "season" or will they molt next November?
Is it the season or age that that has more affect?

Thanks

Iv never bred goulds this time of year, but im pretty sure they wont molt, my guess is later next yr.
hopefully someone on here can clear things up for the both of us lol

dont know if this is going to help but my young goulds fledged around june and are know colouring up in time for this years season. it felt as though they took forever

My mother has 11 month old babies still not fully coloured.
Weather seems to be much more relavent than age.

I would say they wont have 100% adult plumage untill next November.As the moult should be nearly finished.

Thanks all. My thoughts were that they would color up next year, just mine are a little late to moult than everyone's seem to be, only at 20%.
