Gender Confused Birdy

For about a year now he has been displaying like the males do and will display his pretty wings and dance around just about anything, but lately he ...

Welcome! Do you know when you're getting your new baby? I have an Indian Ringneck and he is the love of my life! I got mine when he was about 3 weeks old, he didn't really have any feathers and I raised him from then. It was a great experience. Do you have any names that you've picked yet?
