thank you for the reassurance. They were definately a day apart. The are now 21g, 35g, and a burley 95gms. At least the larger one gives the small ones the additional body warmth they need. The 35g one has now opened its eyes as well

An update on how Entree is doing... At about 1 yr of age Entree developed a very slight click every now and then as he breathed, and his air sack on one side was over filling sometimes. He was also less cheery and more bitey"..... So off to the local VET who gave Antibiotics and recommended we ...

I have posted on the Moustache Parrot forum but as the recent posts are not all that recent I thought I would pose the same question here seeing as the moustache parrot is so similar to the ringneck. Basically, one chick appears to be much larger than the others and Im wondering how normal this is. ...

WP_20141127_002.jpg I have recently have a clutch of 3 moustache babies born 13th, 14th and 15th November. So the oldest is 2 weeks old today. I removed them two days ago from their mum after a heat wave with two days of over 40 degrees celcsius. Their crops were compacted with whole seeds and no f...

Thank you for confirming that Sheyd. Now I need to decide if eventually I want to possibly encourage the visual blue in the future. Though I do believe in letting them choose what ever partner they want rather than trying to force a bond.

Albino cock x lutino hen = 4 lutino chick and 1 albino chick Wondering if anyone can explain the possible genetics of these parents as I couldnt get a result with these colours in the genetics calculator ( but then I am a total novice at it). The previous clutch from the same parents gave all lutino...

As I said in my story, I am not an expert in anyway. I actually think I was just lucky. If I was to ever to have the problem again I would still try all I could which would probably include similar to Entree. I would try to pry a small arch in the lower edge of the beak on the birds left hand side (...

He sure is Skyes_crew .. and a total ratbag as well .... bursting with attitude and personality. I have found these forums really helpful in understanding how to communicate with him better.

Hi Skyes_crew..... The other bird is a Princess parrot, only young and was not in the aviary at the time. The only birds in the aviary were ringnecks. The blue IRN male was mating with both a Blue IRN that I have as well as the yellow IRN female. The blue IRN female laid eggs that were not fertile. ...

Hi RingONeck... another member, Ellie, was kind enough to place photos of Entree on the forum - Pionus beak on blue ringneck? Malabar dad or ARN gone wrong. I have also now had him to an avian vet and I have placed his life story on a Post titled - Novice handrearing can be successful and very rewar...

Hi Madas.. Entree definately has the yellow as his mum and the blue ringneck as his dad. There was absolutely no other mating activity.. maybe the others are still too young. Recio.. I dont know much about iridescent feathers. Entree.. and his dad... have wings that appear to look darker and slightl...

Thanks for the replies. Entree is exactly the same colour as his dad who is in the other pic on the right hand wire

Hi Ellie Thank you for the hint on the avatar. Ive added a picture of Entree so I hope you can see it. I still couldnt place an image or URL I wrote the following in the Welcome\Introduce yourself forum I did post a picture on a Pionus Parrot forum and someone said that his beak is deformed and that...

Ive added a peak of Entree as my avatar so I hope you can see it. I still couldnt place an image or URL :? I did post a picture on a Pionus Parrot forum and someone said that his beak is deformed and that he is probably nutrient deficient and to take him to a vet immediately. I have to say that this...

Just another thought.. his mum and dad have beaks like your photo.

No.... not at all. Entree has a beak that extends out slightly further out from the bottom beak. The top beak Is mostly dark grey and narrow through the centre ridge of the length and then has wider flat part on either side level with his eyes. These areas have a tinge of colour to them ( Id describ...

Thanks for your reply. As a new member I have to place 10 posts before I can provide an image so I will provide a pic as soon as I can.

Hi Ben and Ash. Ben .. I have now researched about "pionus" style beak after seeing it mentioned in a forum here and thats what my beautiful blue ringneck baby has and yet its mum is yellow IRN and dad is a Blue IRN , both with standard IRN beaks. Now Im totally confused. I havent been abl...

I have hand raised a baby, called Entree, from a couple of days old. Mum is a yellow IRN and dad is a blue IRN. Both are beautiful large birds with yellow around their eyes and the top beak is red and the bottom beak is black. Dad has the ring mum doesnt. To me they look like normal Indian ringnecks...

Hi Brandie, I have raised a supposed ringneck with the same colouring beak as yours. His mum is a yellow ringneck and his dad is a beautiful blue ringneck. both with top beak red and bottom black. They are both large birds. I saw your reference to PIONUS beak so decided to look it up as Im a novice ...

A bit of history ... Im a novice at raising a bird and want to pass what I have gone through onto others. I am not a bird breeder. I have some “rescued” birds and when I was given some nesting boxes, I placed them in the aviaries. The birds then did what birds do and next thing there were eggs then ...

Hi.. I was pleased to find a forum that discussed the difference in beak colour between IRNs and ARNs. I have a 6 mth old blue ringneck of small stature (120gm) with a dark beak while both parents are larger birds with the orange/red beak of the Indian Ringneck. Is it possible that two apparent “Ind...

Thank you for the welcome. I will post further under - Miscellaneous Comments/Questions Topic: IRN or ARN? and include links to some pictures. The beak is slowly getting darker. Both top and bottom.

Hi everyone, I discovered this forum when trying to research a bit about our indian ringnecks. Im not a breeder as such, rather a lover of birds. Over time I have acquired birds by being given unwanted pets, buying them from pet shelters or catching pets that have escaped and not being able to find ...
