Re: 'Pirate' likes to shoot me with lazers!

I wondered if other people's ringnecks talked themselves to sleep! Mine does it aswell. He buries his head in his feathers and chatters away...sometimes for a long time. It's nice to know that's a cute little trait they have :D

Re: Please what colour is my IRN?

Quite possibly :D ... I'm itching to find out my birds parents to make sure and I can't get hold of them! May have to resort to jumping over their fence :lol:

Re: Please what colour is my IRN?

Thank you for the pictures! Better ones would be great if you get a chance :D
I haven't found out the parents yet as when my partner called in they weren't home. Hopefully we will be able to catch them soon as I really want to know :D

Re: Please what colour is my IRN?

Thank you!

This could be possible! My partner is going to be in the breeders area next week, so he is going to call in and ask to have a look at their pair as we lost their phone contact details. When I find out the definite colour of the parents I will let you guys know :D

Re: Pirates funny antics

Haha they are best mates. Pirate nibbles Sir Lancelots legs and the back of his neck and he loves it (Guess it's like getting a back scratch) and in turn Sir Lancelot cruises around the house with Pirate on his back. I found them both asleep once but of course when I grabbed the camera they both wok...

My Birdie Pirate who will be 1 year old next month is a pretty cheeky birdy. These pics have been taken over the last 12 months. He has started to turn a shade of blue (not shown in these pics), which you can see in the mutation section of the forum under 'Please what colour is my IRN?' ... Anyway h...

Re: Pure white ringnecks

Hi Carmen,

Yes he has been DNA sexed as male (got results today :D ) . Thank you for your reply. He just looks so white. I guess if he doesn't get a ring then I'll know if he is an albino? The blue eyes and pearlescent blue tinge just keep throwing me off :D

Re: Please what colour is my IRN?

The parents were both green. I'm not sure what kind of mutations etc. I just remember them both being very green. They had 5 babies and all were white which is making me think albino? It's kind of weird. I'll be able to put a pic up once I'm allowed to but in photos he just looks white. I'm unable t...

I have placed a few comments here and there on the forum about the colour of my bird but I was hoping someone could give me some more guidance. I originally thought my IRN was an albino. I was told it was an albino by the breeder although I've had my suspicions. At first glance my IRN looks albino/ ...

My IRN 'Pirate' does this exact same thing. Exactly as you have described it. It is very strange and quite weird to watch. He snaps out of it quickly too. Apparently it's a bit of a territorial thing. Does your make the really loud squaking when doing these movements? Mine does the exact same noises...

I was told yesterday that my IRN is not an albino by a professional bird person (haha I don't know if they have a formal name), because he has blue eyes and his feet aren't light enough. Sometimes I notice a very light pearlescent blue on his back and tail although if you glance at him quickly he ju...

Hi, My Indian Ringneck Pirate use to do this a lot! He has a lot of toys and roams freely out of his cage etc. What stopped him from doing this was putting those seed things on a stick (where the seed is all stuck together) or fruit and seed on a stick in his cage and he has stopped.

Pure white ringnecks

Hey! I have a pure white Indian Ringneck. I personally don't like calling him an albino due to the stigma attached to an albino animal (sickly, quiet, shorter life etc). I haven't come across anyone else who has one and was just wondering if anyone has one and if they have any sickly traits? My bird...
