| Penny's voice is breaking. There was a hint yesterday, but today her squeaks are definitely ending in a groan.  Can this be used to determine her age or do squeakers' voices break at different times in different birds? |

| I'm not really sure at what age that happens. My lil Pij with the bad leg sounds like a sea gull and he's about 2 months old. LOL. How old is Penny? |

| Usually around their first moult time after waening. I noticed though that some sound like duet of Ella Fitzerald and Luis Amstrong for longer. |

| Penny may be older, as I caught her 3 weeks ago and she looked quite grown-up then. In fact, I hadn't realised she was a squeaker until she squeaked, lol! |

That's just too funny! 
But yes, she's started to molt, so that must be it. |

| Oh my gosh! I wondered the same thing. WeiPea, by guess was about 20 to 30 days old (Sept 1) and about a week ago started sounding different. I didn't think he was sick. He just reminded me of my son when his voiced changed. (He will never know I spoke of this  ) It's like he wants to sound like a "big" bird but just can't get it right! I really try to help...bob my head and sing Bird, Bird, Bird, bird is the word, etc... Of course Joe laughs at us, but I wondered if their voice really changed...say during puberty  I still wonder. WeiPea hasn't molted yet. |
