We just got our bird today, part of my daughters chrismas present. She/He is beautiful, very young and white. I didn't go with her and her gramma to choose the bird so I have no idea how old it is or if it's male or female. My main question is, will she/he remain white, change with age or is there any way to know for sure? Something else I wonder is, I know they are social, like to be around the family and stuff but do they need to be covered up at night?
