A young Rosella

I recently learned something new about Rosellas. Most of them are blue and red, but sometimes they have green feathers too. I always assumed that some simply have different coloring, but a friend told me that they start out with green feathers and they slowly turn red and blue as they mature. I read online that Rosellas are mature and have their adult feathers at age 15 months.
