Hi everyone!!! It has been agesss since I was last on here, been really busy with school and other animal adventures! So I am writing for a bit of info. regarding building a small aviary outside for Louie. It would be approx. 2m long and 80cm wide. I am thinking of making it like a suspended aviary ...

Louie

Ok if neither of your birds are split to anything then all the babies will be green split to blue. Not sure about the blue eye thing with your hen. It sounds to me like they are going to breed but I have never bred IRN's before so don't take my word for it.

Louie

Be sure to let us know how it goes

Louie

Ok if the parents are violetgreen male with blue female then your hen is violetgreen/blue. ( / = split to). If my calculations are correct :) : cinnamon blue male paired with violetgreen/blue female will produce: Male: 25% green/blue/cinnamon 25% violetblue/cinnamon 25% blue/cinnamon 25% violetgreen...

Louie

Is there any way to test for splits in Ringnecks other than doing a test breeding? Possibly DNA testing??

Louie

Thanks he is a good birdie. He does have fun on his play gym. I am slowly adding more perches and toys etc. to keep it stimulating for him.

Louie

I have a question for all you IRN Breeders in Australia (NSW in particular but answers from anywhere in Australia will be greatly appreciated): Do you find it easy to sell chicks to new homes? (as handreared pets, parent raised breeders or both(please specify which you breed/sell)) Thankyou in advan...

Louie

I am wondering: when talking genetics, is violetblue the same as violet (visually)? Does anyone have a link to or a pic of a violetgreen?

Louie

Here is a pic.

I am going to pick up Louie's new playgym this afternoon!! YAY = ) Will post pics soon

Louie

Hey guys. I have been looking around this forum for a while now and have joined recently. I have had my IRN for almost a year now. This forum is soooooo great, it has so much information and many helpful people.

Louie

Oh I forgot to mention in my previous post that he had 2 sisters who he was raised with so he probably did copy off them but he only did it for the first few months I had him and he hasn't done it since.

Louie

Hi Jordan. My IRN is a DNA sexed male and when I first got him around 9-10 weeks old he did exactly the same thing when I would pet him so I wouldn't worry too much. Did you get a sexing certificate when you got him or did the seller/breeder just tell you that he/she is a male??

Louie

I got mine from some friends who breed them but I live in Australia so I don't think I can help you, sorry. Maybe try looking up a Silkie/poultry club in your area and contact them.

Louie

Thanks Melika. I did figure out how to post pics but they are way too big when I paste the code and I cant figure out how to make them smaller ??????

Louie

lol thanks for the pics I think I have a bit of an idea of what I want to make . . . I will post pics when it's done!!

Louie

Thanks for your reply Poppy. The cage I have is really big and it makes him look like a little green speck lol!! I spoke to mum about getting a new cage (a smaller one) and she said that I can keep my big one if I want to but it has to move into the spare room and only come into my room when we have...

Louie

what would be albino??

Louie

Thankyou very much Glenn for all your help. I agree that the second option would be the best for me.

Louie

My IRN, Louie, is just over 1 year old and he has a slight grey ring aswell as a bit of a blue sheen around his lower mandible. He is DNA sexed a boy.

Louie

Thanks Jim. I understand how to get splits now but when I hold CTRL and spin my thumb wheel it just puts a white border around it and I still can't see all the colours.

Louie

This is great!! but how do I enter splits and scroll down to see all the colours in the drop down menu??

Louie

So from your first post, if I bred a blue male split to ino with a lutino female split to blue all the babies will be visually blue split to albino or lutino or green?? Is this right?? thanks for all you help Glenn

Louie

Thanks Julie.

Louie

Will IRN's that have been hand-reared breed just as well as those that have been parent reared?

Louie

Thanks Glenn. Just to clarify when you say visual blue male/female and list the other colours, are the colours listed underneath visual aswell or splits?? Also what colours would the cock and hen be to get blue (males preferably) and lutino (males preferably) in separate breeding pairs (one breeding...

Louie

What coloured breeding pairs (hen colour and cock colour) would give: (a) lutino (males preferably) and (b) blue (males preferably). Thankyou for any help in advance. : )

Louie

Hi Lauren, what colour chicks did you get from a blue hen and a green cock?? oh and are the parents split to any other colours??

Louie

Hi jeannier, ur playstand is great!! How did u attach the natural branches onto the PVC??

Louie

I think some of these stories are just horrible. A pet shop near me sells birds and I have seen a pair of adult ringnecks in a cage about the size I would keep 1 budgie in and their tails were missing feathers and the geathers that they did have were all broken and it was really sad :cry: . . . it a...

Louie

I currently have a really big cage for him but my mum wants me to downsize because the cage can't fit anywhere else in our house except for in my bedroom and my mum doesn't like him being in my room because she reckons his cage smells and it is unhealthy (I clean his cage every 2-3 days so I don't k...

Louie

I need to get a new cage for my IRN and was wondering if 53cm by 53cm by 70cm high is a good size?? Thaks for any help

Louie

Thanks Melika. Also is a cage 53cm by 53cm by 70cm high ok for 1 male ringneck who is out of his cage whenever we are home??

Louie

If anyone has pics of their playgyms that they have bought or made I would love to see them as I am thinking about buying/making one and would like ome ideas . . .

Louie

Well for my IRN I get an empty tissue box and pull the plastic bits out. I fill it with shredded paper, foot toys, beads and a few peanuts and tie it to the side of Louie's cage. He spends ages pulling everything out and searching for the peanuts!!! When it is empty he starts shredding the box. lol

Louie

Hi, I am looking for a new cage for my young indian ringneck. I have found a good cage but was wondering if epoxy coating is good and safe for birds??
