No, the white primaries are not an indication of age, it's common for lutino lovies to have white primaries. It's impossible to age a bird visually. When the larger species get older, you notice their legs and feet become scalier and might be a bit deformed from arthritis, the eyes appear a bit more sunken and could develop cataracts but that only happens when they are getting real old (50 years +). And, with the small species, it's impossible. At least, if there is any difference, I've never noticed it. I've had a 21 years old cockatiel and a 15 years old lovie (the only one I've ever had that reached that age, the others all died at 13 or 14) and they never looked or behaved any differently than the younger ones...
