Male Golden Whistlers attain their adult plumage in their third or fourth
year according to HANZAB. I would be interested in seeing the photo/s.

Subject: How long does it take for Golden Whistlers to
attainadult plumage?
I watched a male Golden Whistler for several minutes this afternoon. It was
a very scruffy Individual which caused me to wonder if it was an adult
moulting, there was something wrong with it (which there didn't seem to be.)
or if it was a young bird attaining adult plumage. Does anyone know how
long this latter takes? (This is a time when a photo could be helpful on
the site.)
Thanks,
Sonja
