Lutino's tail feathers ??

Hi I wasn't sure which part of the forum to go to with this question so I thought I'd try here. My lutino IRN which I only had 2 weeks, has slight browny/orangy tinged edges, on the tips of his tail feathers, like a thin brown outline on the ends of his tail feathers. Is this normal or is it a sign ...

4 tame males - in one cage? Would that work??

Ok...I know I asked a similar question on here not that long ago but if it works, I think this is what I'd like to do....Could I keep 4 tame IRN males in the same cage ...I'd obviously give them daily outside time.???
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

IRN size

Hi I was wondering is anyone could tell me when does an IRN reach his/her full size. The ones I am planning on getting are not too much bigger than a cockatiel (their tails are longer though ofcourse). Is this as big as they get or will they get bigger?? I've heard they grow to about 16inches?

I'm not sure how old they are. They don't look like babies but the male hasn't got his ring yet either.
Do you think putting them together will not work?? They seem to get along together where they are at the moment but I don't know if they all came from the same batch.
