Young And Old Putehs
The age is fairly difficult to tell without some fancy equipment. The good news is Putehs can live over 10 years if it's well cared for.
The easiest way to check if the bird is a young or old bird, then it'll have its baby feathers so feathers will be duller coloured. After its first molt you will start to see a deeper colours, old Putehs don't actually show signs of aging. Ailments might be more common like scaly feet, but this isn't a good indicator because it can happen at any age. Another sign for Puteh aging is the White Eye Ring as it will grow thicker when it get older.
