Indian Ringnecks play host to a remarkable variety of Mutations, and each mutation can and does react quite vibrantly wither other mutations... There are over 25 established mutations out there and I would not even try to work out the variety of colour combinations when you cross one mutation with a...

The same hand rearing forumula you would use for an Indian Ringneck. Just in greater quantities as they age.

Over the Internet, and through the wide population of Professional and Amateur breeding circles of Indian Ringnecks, there is a flood of incorrect, and often very misleading names given through either untruths, ignorance, or sticking to names that have since been re-classified as the old names were ...

Sorry but no matter how "gifted" someone thinks they are.. they have no idea other than taking a guess. So I would not be looking to get a male without the DNA test... something that alot of breeders are more than willing to lie about / not do... simply to save $15-20. Regarding the blues ...

1. Wedge-Tailed Eagle (ok... it was only a baby... who got cranky at me) It was a rescue bird when I lived in the Northern Territory. It was a baby bird (weighing about 1kg at the time... not grams people lol). And it was overly eager for food and took a bite at my hand... drew some blood but more b...

Gorgeous, there is something purely special about Lutino's for me. No matter the mutation I always go back to Lutino's and Creamino's as my absolute favourite types.

I am chasing up a pair of Lutino Alexandrines (i will be utterly broke lol) but urgh... dream colour in a dream size lol.

Fah

My IRN indoor fella hates showers / mist bottles.. he will only bathe on his own efforts... in water trays / bowls.

I would not force your bird to bathe, they are quite capable of looking after their feathers if they have a water bowl and they do not like anything else.

Fah

First off the cock bird in that photo is not a pallid. Pallids do not retain the blue through the head like that fella does. The breeder seems to be using incorrect names.. which means I cant really follow what he is saying. Below is what a blue pallid cock looks like: http://home.wanadoo.nl/psittac...

Fah

Yeah. I have seen young birds preen their tails exactly the same as this, just to one side through excessive preening. You can tell its not a natural progession of the feathers (ie; true mutation) as the feathers break partially in the turn (not the stem, but the soft bristles that fan out). If this...

Fah

Pallid can be nest sexed depending on the pairing. ie; pallid cock to a normal hen can only throw pallid hens and normal split pallid cocks. Turquoise however is a 50-50 ratio. If their adult pairing is a blue pallid to a turquoise blue hen, you can guarantee that a turquoise blue baby is infact a b...

Fah

I have never come across a Sex-Linked Recessive Turquoise (pastel) in Indian Ringnecks. Turquoise is an Autosomal Recessive (co-dominant with blue) gene. Blue is also Autosomal Recessive. Neither are Sex-Linked Recessive. In regards to the wild type (green) if you put a turquoise blue with it.. all ...

Heya there, I would place money on it being a Dilute Green. Its impossible to tell whether it is male or female without DNA sexing oor until it is around 2yo. From the look of it I would have to agree that it is under 1 year old, anything from 4-5 months through to nearly a year of age.. so its safe...

Fah

Micro Time-Outs are what I found to be the most beneficial thing with IRN's. Set up a perch, with no toys on it and no easy access to something interesting (ie; not attached to their cage). When you are training this behaviour out of them, and they bite / nip. Calmly, but quickly place the bird on t...

Fah

IRN's are admitedly more challenging than many of the Conure (sun conure, blue throat conure, green cheek conure etc) families. However, this does not stop them being one of the most interesting and enjoyable pet birds around. They get a nasty wrap from people who dont know enough about birds and th...

Fah

If you can get a pic that would be awsome.

I have never had an IRN moult before the first year (but im in Australia... different natural cycle maybe).

Fah

I would say you have a turquoise blue bird there Its not uncommon for heavily blue birds to not show for the first few months. Turquoise is a gene that actually increases in strength in colour as the bird ages (often not stopping in changes till 4-5 years). There are not different types of turquoise...

Lutinos are what I first owned

My main pet is a Lutino IRN.

Fah

It does sound like bluffing. The time period does change about.. but its not out of the ordinary heh.

You will be suprised at what is on this site if you go out of the forums

Fah

Noone said viotlet wouldnt show. However, I think this goes back to the last time you wanted to put a violet with a albino. Adding those two genes is just not the best interest of the species, let alone your breeding program. Also... pallid-ino birds get paler the more you breed them with albino's e...

Fah

What colour is your IRN My Koi is a white headed, pale Blue bodied (with blue under his wing), turqoise tailed, pied lacewing. now thats a mouthful LOL. Have been waiting for a while to see this little fella. I just cant see it as an IRN >.< and the amount of genetics you are talking about............

Fah

A pallid-ino is visually a pallid bird. The more you breed it with Ino birds, the lighter the shade of colour the bird will adopt. the "grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue Ino" is just a creamino visually (cant see the grey though). All your boys will be easy to sex, as the boys will all be pa...

Fah

I dont know really. I honestly think its luck and hormones... somewhat similar to how some people mature physically faster/slower than others. I would say that over half my two year old cocks have given me clutches with 2yo hens. Albeit, small clutches, maybe 2 eggs sometimes three at best. I prefer...

Cool, was not aware that the change in greens was so lasting through the years. Learn something new every day

I knew they had yellow, was just suprised at the fact they are only going yellow at over 4-4.5 years of age.

Fah

You will find your bird will not tolerate people too different to what he / she is normally exposed to in their safe environment. My IRN is terrified of people with blond hair (i have only one friend with blond hair, and no family members / close friends with blond hair) so when he does see someone ...

Awww well, only one 2007 bred boy left, turquoise grey split cinnamon

Thanks for all who enquired.

Fah

Peas, Beans, Corn on the cob are all great items of interest as young birds. Also soaked seed. You should have the softer food available all day while in this stage... so they can play and get interested in it all. Eventually they will be eating regularly from the soaked seed, once this happens, you...

Well, purely pet birds and breeding with them is like grabing a stick of dynamite, and putting a 100yo fuse to it. You dont know when its going to go off... or IF it will go off at all. Pet breeders that I have known in the past have generally had very mixed experiences. Some do well in breeding, bu...

Ringnecks go through two important moults. Their first moult, about a year after hatch, and their second moult, just whack on another year. Sometimes (in my experience anyway) the first moult is very small, almost not much at all, but it is around this time that the tail feathers really kick into ac...

I really love to take a gander at well set up tanks and displays, however I dont think I could squeeze one in anywhere, and outside ponds are almost out of the question here as the weather bounces around more than a ball does in a 5 year olds hands.

Well, if you pull your bubs at 4 weeks, its very rare for your parents to go down again. If you really want to discourage mating and you are pulling them earlier, stop the fruit and veg supply for 2-3 weeks after taking them away. Just feed seed / pellets and put vitamins in the water (so they are n...

I actually buy and use alot of balsa wood (small blocks) or make small blocks from bird safe natural gum / glues. They dont last a long time, but boy is it cheap and fun for the birds. I often dye the balsa wood diiff colours and leave little coloured cubes around the cage... they all love them beca...

Fah

You really need to hunt down plywood made from gums (natual glues) or water based glue. Else you will find yourself with possibly ill birds. To do this you are best off seeking makers of plywood supplies or hobby stores that really know their stuff.

One of my age old favourites is this site: m Just click the IRN (second from the left ) and it comes up with a very informative page, which down the bottom has a link for "Mutations". This is where all the wonderful types of IRN are hidden. You will generally find some reluctance from bree...

First off getting an IRN pair to mating in less than 2 months of owning it in a new nest box and environment is in itself suprising. Infact from what you say its been about a month since owning it and they were at it pretty hard and the fact you aquired them during the period they all start going do...

Fah

Yah, size wise I just couldnt get into them sadly, even though their nature is quite stunning.

If you are after a bird only a little larger than a budgie (one of the smallest conures) but with one hell of an attitude and bonds really well.. green cheeks are quite the bird. Quiet too mostly.

Fah

They are quite stunning indeed. I have a pet creamino and a pet lutino. Addicted to the yellow in the larger birds and find the creamino's just incredible.. dont know any other bird with that curious blend of white and yellow.

Fah

Thats great news indeed, very happy to hear it ended well (regardless of the effort heh).

Fah

They serve more the breeder and for identification purposes than anything else. Proper record tracking / keeping requires leg bands so you know which blue is which and from what clutch etc... and it is also quite helpful in acting like an I.D. incase your bird ends up lost and found. Some of the mor...

Vet right away. This is possibly linked, or two seperate problems like a scratch then an infection... however this is something you need to get looked at asap.

Fah

Well, if your IRN poops are always runny, your bird is not getting enough fiber. Runny poop isnt a problem after eating fruits etc, but healthy regular poop should have some consistency to it.

Sounds iky but yah

Fah

Indeed you can. Fruit is good for your bird, however it is also 70-80% water in most cases. An IRN's (as like any other parrot) gastro-intestinal tract is designed to handle compact, concentrated foods such as - meats, cereals, nuts and seeds and various fruit and veg that fit into that category (li...
