Ok I thought so, my breeder says he is giving me a cobalt green, so I assumed he must have meant a dark green split blue. thanx

Hi, just wondering what cobalt green is & how it is put into the genetic calc. Or is this the same as a dark green split blue? a bit confused. pics would be good,

cheers,

oops just disregard the forum owner bit

ok, thankyou 4 the advice. i am extremely interested in what you said about the percentage of birds that make good pets. i have only just started with ringnecks, but i have always had the desire to breed them for tameness instead of colour alone, with the desire to keep back only the birds that show...

hi, i just read this post & have realised that i may have a problem with the bird i just handraised. she was given to me on her own & she was raised by myself & my partner. i have another moderately tame male who is 1 & he was being kept outsite until she was fully weaned,as i had in...

Hi just wondering If the wonderful person who made the gen calc could update it with the emerald mutation?

Or if not what other mutation acts exactly the same as emerald so I can substitute it for now
cheers,

There looks like other really purplish birds on this website http://www.halsbandsittichmutationen.de/irn_ilyck_de/index.php?Halsbandsittiche:Indischer_Halsbandsittich:Mutationen:violett_kobalt&pic=1&page=0 that link shows a violet cobalt, I think, well it's in another language, so It could b...

Thanks yeah, when I bath him I can pull out his wing & see how the feathers are. They don't look too bad just they look like they have been clipped unevenly & he is starting to hack at the ends of them so they look pretty yuk. Besides that he can fly perfectly & isn't showing signs of di...

Hi, I'm sorry If this has been answered elsewhere, If so please direct me to the post.. I have a 6 month old ringneck who had one wing clipped when I got him as a gift last year. I am not really sure when he is supposed to moult out these feathers and grow new ones, so If anyone can tell me at what ...

HI, just wondering how much would I expect to pay for a violet dom. pied? I have seen blue dom. pied for $3000, so I'm guessing the violet is around 3500, is this a decent price?

I live in Austrlalia QLD.

I just want to say that after writing that 1st post, and after trying my best to ignore his biting & returning him to his cage for a bit whenever he did it, sometimes I just say no before I put him back as well. So now he is alot better, he is still a little bit nippy, but it's only If I try to ...

thanx, maybe If I read it another 10-20 times I'll understand lol. I was also curious about the general genetics of other parrots besides ringnecks, is it always the same rule? like can all wild type be split for blue? & are all lutino's sex-linked & just that mutations appear to look differ...

Hi, I'm trying to get my head around the genetics of ringnecks, & can't figure out what the t1 & t2 split means when you check the (sf) dark & the split blue, it has the option T1 or T2 ? does anyone know what it means?

Ok, so Iv'e had my irn Cloud for 4 months now, which makes him about 5 months old now. I haven't had him sexed I just call him a he' because he already has a faint ring around his neck which I know could moult out, but I'm hoping he is in fact a he. Anyway he was supposedly handraised but I really d...

Sorri for the late reply & thanx for your advice. Funny enough before I read your post I had purchased the kindle version of parrot problem solver by Barbara H. And I agree her teaching strategies are great, although I try to follow them sometimes I feel like failure when I'm dealing with my nip...

thanx johan, I'm wondering what a d/f turquoise blue looks like, never seen one before. Are they alot darker like d/f violet? or are they more greyish?

Hi, I'm looking at a set of two suspended avairys, each bay measuring 1200x600x900. Just wondering If this would be sufficient for them to be in the whole time?

Or I'm just thinking of getting some made or build at 2m long by, 1 metre wide by 1 metre high.

Hi, I'm confused as on the psittacula world website- it says that if you pair blue to turquoise blue you will get 50% blue & 50% turquoise blue in either cocks or hens although on the gen calc, it says you only get turquoise blue, which one is right? or am I using gen calc wrong? help plz, 1.0 b...

What's another name for skyblue?

Just wondering how much a pallid green series bird costs?, or a blue series pallid. And how much do the pallid ino or pallid turquoise blue go for?

Just wondering in Australia, how much do turquoise blue & turquoise violet cost? for baby's

thanx

Im thinking I want to breed some either cobalt cleartails (whwt) & blue clear tails (whwt, (sorry don't know which is the more popular name for these birds, So, I have a normal blue, so if I paired her to a cobat split whwt, would I get both blue & cobalt split clear tail (whwt? then, Is it ...

Would love to see a pic of the oz cobalt

Thannx Rod for the prices, and johan, your saying that you reckon cobalt x df violet would be a better purple?, I see what your suggesting, It sounds interesting, see what the experts say, also to jog my memory, blue x df violet gives, all violets, so does that mean that blue x df cobalt gives all c...

I have a question about bluffing as my youngster is going thru it i think. i have owned a ringneck before, although he was already 1 when I got him and never bit me, he was just scared, but came around after some time. My bird is sporatically biting me and the rest of the fam, and with two young kid...

I forgot to ask, molossus2, what is the price of a violet cobalt? and a Dbl factor deep blues, is this the same as a df cobalt? how much do they cost?

thnx,

kimi.

There is soo much negative speculation regarding the issue of mutation breeding It makes me ponder on the idea- Is it really a good thing to be doing? I know the ringnecks gene pool is limited, and has been for years, although some of the more rarer parrots & endangered native Australian parrots...

Thank you all for all the info, I know what you mean about putting that colour into other mutations. I personally love the opaline & pied, although, for the price I could buy an amazon parrot lol! But mutation breeding would have to be the most addictive & interesting aspect of breeding parr...

I live In Australia in Qld. Ok, so as young in the nest, the chicks will be hard to tell apart. So being quite similar in appearance, out of the violet cobalt or the df violet, which would you say would be more nicer purple looking? Do you think that it would be satisfying to have bred a violet coba...

Thanks again for that, Ok, so looks like I'm better off not using my lil' friend for breeding If he's a boy, but if a girl she will go well with violet blue I have tried to look for cobalt ringnecks and am not sure how much they go for, but will keep looking. Just so I know, can I ask what does it m...

Thank you for that, It hepls to have great people on here with a wealth of info. Just a couple more questions If you dont mind; So when breeders have for sale a violet ringneck, it really means violet blue? To breed violet cobolt, would I need a violet blue and a cobolt? And to breed for violet blue...

Hey just realized this topic has been answered elsewhere. Sorry

HI, I'm going to be setting up a pair of ringnecks for breeding outside in my patio area. At first will have one pair, but in time my goal is to have 4 breeding pairs. I read that they will need to be separated during the off season & will need to have 4meter long flights, but I also read here t...

Hi all mutation lovers. I'm going to be purchasing a pair of violet Ringnecks soon, & hope to be able to produce some df violet birds. I then want to pair the df violet with either cobolt or mauve, but not sure which one. I want to achieve really pur-pully purple birds. I read that df voilet wit...
