Hi I'm in south Australia and my ringnecks are also doing the same. My pairs last year laid a good month earlier. but I'm confident they will lay soon. From talking to other breeders it seems to be a late season this year for ringnecks.
All the best

Cool thank you, that certainly clears up my confusion
Ok well I guess we'll see what they give me if she is split I'll get some visual cleartails

Hi, sorry I think you may have misunderstood my post. Of course I know splits are not visual etc. . I was asking more for the genetic detail for if and how pallids and cleartails could be split for each other etc. basically if it were possible for my pallid to be split at all? As i have no history. ...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this topic has been covered before but I wanted to ask the genetic experts if it is possible to combine whwt with lacewings (pallids)? whether it be splits or visual. I have a blue lacewing hen that has the typical markings of a blue lacewing lacewing but a complete white tai...

wow this looks fantastic! nice work!

yes i'd love to put my cock to a violet turq/whwt hen but i am doing a swap with the breeder with a split blue conure and no violet turq splits are available. but there is always next season if i breed a violet turq in split or visual i could use it for the future.

hi there, a good website to check out australian prices on birds from decent breeders is Australian Bird Link (just google it) you may find a suitable mate for it. what you are looking for i would expect to pay around $250 for a mature good quality bird. as for hand reared babies, i think it really ...

Thank you! You have been very helpful!

great thank you for your help! i believe only one parent (hen) is cobalt. just a question what does it mean when it says grey turquoise(parblue)Blue violet? what does this bird visually look like? is this masking violet? and also, if i go with the grey turq split and she is not masking cobalt will t...

hi all, i have a hard decision to make. i want to get a turquoise hen for my violet whwt cock. i can choose between two excellent quality birds from a top breeder one a turquoise blue/whwt hen or turquoise grey/whwt hen. the breeder says the turquoise grey/whwt is masking cobalt as there is a slight...

Hey thanks for the reply :) pastel blue isn't cinnamon blue. pastel is also known as turquoise or rainbow (depending where you live/what you prefer to call it). i just thought that even if the green cock was split the green factor was just too dominant in this pairing to produce an albino. who knows??

hi all, i recently got 3 babies from a friend for hand rearing. Now that their colours have come through i believe the so called father is not the babies actual father (naughty hen). so the hen is a pastel blue (unsure if she's split to anything) and the cock that fed the hen and helped raise these ...

Thanks for the great advice guys :) I have taken him to the vets and he is still getting his great diet mentioned above plus a vitamin d supplement that is meant to help plucking. He has been given a lot of brain stimulating toys and I have set up a camera to monitor him while I am not watching to s...

Hi all, I'm after a bit of help. I just got a pair of eclectus parrots (i know this is a ringneck site but i'm hoping many can answer this question). Female is in great condition 18 months old, but my male is not in very good condition he is about 3 yrs old. The so called "experienced" bre...

great thanks molossus! i think i am starting to understand the blue colours and cinnamon factor. i know i'm asking all these questions but i just can't help but want to learn all about it. one more: is lacewing similar to cinnamon in the sence that both parents have to have it to pass it visually to...

Heat thanks guys! This has been very helpful! I like the idea of the cinnamon cobolt! Could you please help me one more time with the babies produced from cinnamon violet hen with cinnamon cobolt cock? I get that cinnamon is sex-linked to male babies but what if mum is cinnamon like this case? Also,...

great thanks heaps for clearing that up for me
seeing as keeping the violet with the lavender i lose the lavender colouring i'd rather put a violet or blue hen with the violet male and perhaps a sky blue with the lavender? what other colours will help produce more lavenders?
thanks

hi all, i'm in need for some help because i have heard conflicting information about my ringnecks. firstly, i have a blue cock and grey hen on eggs paired for the first time this season both 2 year olds. I always thought they'd give me 50% blues and 50% greys but recently i was told from an experien...

cool thanks for the reply i have the second book mentioned it's ok... it's quite basic but helps with some mutations. i might try to find the other book with 500 pages i'll have a fair bit to keep me busy.
thanks again

Hi all, I've been reading and researching quite a lot lately about all the different colours ringnecks can produce and honestly some makes perfect sense other stuff just confuses me like the rules with gender-linked, single factors, double factors, split colours etc.... I was hoping someone out ther...

Ah yes, that makes better sense! thanks guys!

hi all, so i have an opportunity to get a male violet and a female green split blue and i just wanted confirmation on breeding. to my understanding this would give: 12.5% blue and 12.5% blue = 25% blue 25% violet and 25% violet = 50% violet 12.5% green/blue and 12.5% green/blue = 25% green/blue is t...

oh my gosh your birds are fantastic!! may i ask what camera you are using?
thanks

thanks for the advice! i definitely was going to get at least an aviary that size so that's great :) and i have done a bit of research on colours and breeding so i understand what colours come from which parents now :) one question is it essential to dampen the wood shavings? is it just to make it m...

Hi all, i'm fairly new to indian ringnecks but not new to birds. i'm getting a blue and green breeding pair and i want to give them the best set up i can for successful breeding. i have had lots of experience with small birds but taking my learning to the next step. so i have been told quite a bit o...

Hello and welcome!
i'm new myself but so far i've found great information here

Awesome! So any suggestions for a name??

Thanks I'm currently living in Adelaide. Are you from Australia also?

Hi all, I'm Sarah i live in Australia and new to this forum. I'm about to become a very proud owner of an Indian Ringneck. My friends breeding pair have laid eggs and should be hatching any day now and i plan to hand raise a male baby from 2 weeks of age. Been trying to brainstorm names but nothing ...
