How old were your birds when you got them?

Simple question, no? ;)

Piper I got when he was about two-three months old.
Shade I got when she was three-four months old.
Joey I got just before he turned three (Got him on March 1, his hatch date is March 14).
Petey I got when he was probably 13 (got him in August of 2008, hatch year is 1995).
Zuri was 21 months old when I got him.

Lucy my Red-Belly was 11 months old when we got her ... the store told us 9 months, but we got her in June 2006 and I have confirmed from her breeder that she was hatched on July 1, 2005.

Jessie was 3 months old when he came home with us. We put down a deposit on him when he was 2 months old in the store and he came home when he was weaned and maintaining his weight.
