I am not sure if he has lice or is just molting. He has just been chewing or grooming his feathers, and smaller feathers have ...

No ring.

My Indian Rigneck is now 2 with no ring around his neck. He got a sex test when he was young and said he was a boy. He had a light black ring around his neck but not fully bold. When should it get very black?

Hello Eggy :D Your cage seems to small for your bird. If it's been in an aviary, then no. If hand raised; theres an option. But really, it's old and rusted. No, actually... I heard trying to wash the rust off... will make it even worse. I'm sure you can spent an extra $100-200 on a cage and some toy...
