I got Nando, my Flaming Jenday (which I think it's nothing but a real good looking Sunday), when he was 9 months old. I don't usually take in young birds because there are always people willing to adopt them but he was on Craig's listed as a Sun Conure and 'completely unmanageable" or something like that and I emailed the guy to tell him that he was not a Sunnie, we got to talking and I felt bad about the poor bird ("screams all the time, cannot let him out of the cage, he bites, is too destructive, etc. etc") and worried that he would end up in a basement as a breeder so I went to get him. He turned out to be the sweetest, gentlest thing (still is even though he is now mated to Piquito) which just wanted freedom and attention and he never changed, he is still the sweetest thing and he is now 3 1/2 so he's already an adult.
