Re: Hello!

Yes, I was thinking about DNA testing, was looking though some of the companies that do testing. I'm impatient :lol: .I got him/her at about 6 months from a breeder so I'm quite confident its about 18 months old, so not quite 2 years old yet. Thanks for the help!!

Hello!

Hello, I have an aviary raised cobalt IRN and is nearly 2 and I was wondering if anyone could hazard a guess at its gender? I'm leaning towards female as I don't think there is any ring development... but what would you guys say? I have seen it do a slow strut while pinning as well as standing up an...

Re: very dark beak

that some how sounds a bit like a alexandrine ringneck, but it shouldn't be as the mutation is not likely to be a alex, compare your bird with google images of alex's. It might just be that your bird is unique, like how everyone person has a different skin colour.
