about 20 weeks, some birds a little later however they will continue to colour for several years, they reach sexually maturity about 9 months

BFPF's are one of the fastest of parrot finches to moult into adult plumage though it my take a few more months to actually visually sex them.
They also become sexually active at 3 months and i have had them breeding at this age due to supplying nest boxes in a holding cage to sleep in. Craig
