Jenday Conure Colors?

I am new to this site as well as to being a bird owner. My baby is a Jenday Conure named Genie who is 5 months old. I'm curious to know if their coloring changes with age. The pictures I see of Jenday's show them to have golden heads and chest with green wings. Mine has a mixed colored chest of yellow, orange and some green. Her head is mostly green with some yellow mixed in. If anyone knows if her colors will change, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Martini :)
As far as I know there colouring does change after there first molt or you could be owning a hybrid between a sun conure and a jenday conure.
What colour are the wings of Genie?

The jenday does change colors with it's first adult molt, as do sun conures.
They both appear more green as babies and color up as they mature.

Your replies are much appreciated. Genie has green wings with blue feathers at the edge. All of her colors are exactly like the pictures I see of the Jendays except her head and neck. Even around her eyes the coloring is the same (her mask). With the mix of color on her head and neck I can see where that could change as she gets older. How old are they when they get their first molt?
