IT'S A BOY!!.... Now what?

[sharkbait]

So finally, as of yesterday, at 2years 4 months my boy has started to get his ring! He's currently going though his 3rd molt and i just wanted to check if there's anything i should be watching out for?
For example does he need more sleep during this time, will his attitude change now hes an adult? From your experience when does the bluffing start etc?

Cheers

Congratulations! It's really not all that different from a normal molt from what I understand, and chances are it will take him quite a few more molts to fully grow in the ring. I'd actually be very surprised if he hasn't already bluffed, because it generally happens at quite a young age. My IRN came to me bluffing at the age of three months and lasted for about two months.

I'm not sure hitting adulthood changes too much, other that over time their hormonal behaviours will probably relax a bit (if he displays strong behaviour to begin with). My boy is only a year old so I don't have much more experience with mature birds than you do, so hopefully someone with more experience will chime in
