Aussie Finch Forum

I had 4 fledge early January.
How long before they are:-
1) Full size
2) Fully coloured.

I have another lot about to fledge any day now.

Depends on diet and aviary conditions (dare I say competition for supplementary foods - see your other topic) but young RFPFs should be full body size by the time they commence the moult into adult plumage. Those bred in warmer months tend to colour quicker than ones bred in winter. Usually fully coloured by around 4-5 months old.
