Skye's growing up!! First black ring feather!!

My sweet little Skye is growing up! He will be 2 this April. He's been doing the male dance forever now. That's what made me guess he is a boy. Now there's no doubting it: He just grew his first black ring feather!! He was around 3 months when we got him. We got him mid June of 2008. http://i249.pho...

I also want a blue throat macaw, red fronted macaw, english budgies, conures, black palm cockatoos, the list goes on and on. I would love a kestrel (small american falcon) ...

Re: Can i have a ringneck & a conure in the same cage?

I have two male ringies of different ages living together. Skye is my oldest at 1 year or so old when we got Anakin, the baby. Anakin was about 3 months old when we brought him home. They have been living in the same cage now for about 5 months and all is well. They seem to argue a bit more on the p...

Re: Many many and really many pics of Sam! Boy or Girl?!?

I know my Skye is a boy. He's only ever done the male mating dance. There's a good video of a male dance somewhere on here. Females have a dance too. Males strut with their wings half out, making their bodies heart shaped. Females hunker down flat, hold their heads straight up, and make a clucking s...
