Can't say exactly, but the bird on that picture is still very very young. That black mark on the beak only is there with babies so maybe somewhere around 3 to 5 months?

There is no specific age (meaning down to days), but generally speaking when I raised my baby Lovies from 7 and 10 days old, their black mark didn't go away until about 3 1/2 months of age. But I've heard it can be longer. Hope that helps. She's a beauty though! Hope she's as big a clown as mine!
