I have a pet parrot who seems to always sing in the same key. Now I feel bad for whistling off-key to him all these years!

Assuming that perfect pitch is an immutable skill after a certain point, I wonder whether the age of acquisition still matters. Do people who learn the skill earlier have more fine-grained perception?
