My birds have seed all the time available in their cages. I use Budgie seed with 10% shell grit mixed in and give them sunflower seeds once a week seperately. If the Sunflower is mixed in they throw the rest of the seed out looking for it. Each non breeding pair get half a cup of seed per day. I fee...

The nest box should be fine. When they are ready they will use it.

This guy advertises on Petlink. Joel-0401856306. I dont know where abouts you are but he is in Penrith NSW.

I agree with Glenn it looks Turquoise Blue. Which is a nice looking bird. It is actually a Blue series bird with a Green sheen over its body, head and wings. Maybe ask the breeder.

rod038

If it is a pure Blue then they should look Blue. It may just be the photo. Sometimes the true color wont show up in a photo it depends on the light. The photo you linked wouldnt open for me.

rod038

I think you would be best starting with a coloured whwt and a split whwt in what ever color you can afford. Greys, Greens and Blues would be cheaper than say Violets or Cobalts and also mature birds would be dearer again. If you did use the Cobalt hen you mentioned you would need a whwt Cock bird to...

rod038

They should if they are old enough and it is the breeding season in your country.

rod038

Its not a double factor Cobalt. The Cobalt bird has a single Dark Factor. The Bird with 2 Dark factors would be called a Mauve and it looks more like a Dark Grey Color than a Dark Blue. The Turquoise level can vary from bird to bird. Also there is no way of telling the other young are split for Butt...

Like Glenn said both parents had to of been split Buttercup to produce a Buttercup baby. You can not tell the Sex of the young unless you wait till they are old enough for the Cocks to get their ring or you get them DNA or surgically sexed. I get all my young DNA sexed but if you are going to keep t...

rod038

In this instance the Color of the young will tell you their sex, but this is not always the case in all mutations.

rod038

Albino and Lutino are Sex Linked Mutations. Just search this on google.

A few of the mutations are sex linked. There are also the Cinamon and the Lacewing. Once you learn how it works you can use the same formula for any Sex Linked Mutation.

rod038

It sounds like it will be a Buttercup also known as a Clearheaded Fallow because of the eye color. Splits will have normal colored eyes. If its a Cock bird then the head will turn a cream colour after 2 years of age. This is because of the Pastel factor. No Pastel factor and it would have been white...

I would remove the partition and have one breeding pair. That is roughly the size of my own breeding cages and a good size for a breeding pair during breeding season but not big enough to keep them in all year round. They need around 3 to 4 meters in length when not breeding. I move mine into a 6 me...

rod038

That will be a good size breeding cage. Length is more important than height. The mesh I have on my aviaries is either 12.5mm x 12.5mm or 25mm x 12.5mm in the heavy gauge. I think it is 1.4mm thick wire from memory. You should be able to get it from the hardware store in a 5m roll. If you do get new...

rod038

I would place the pairs in seperate breeding cages in July with the nest box already for them in place. How old are your birds?

rod038

April is a bit too early. I would pair up early July.

rod038

I would seperate the pairs into their own breeding cages with double wire between the cages if they are to be kept side by side. I keep all my birds in a 6m x 3m aviary when they are not breeding and pair them up at the start of July into suspended cages that are 1800 long x 900 high x 900 wide, wit...

I have got birds off Mark and Jane at Amaroo Aviaries in the past and can recommend them. They are very heplfull with advice and they have quality birds.

rod038

Well a 2010 double factor would be from $800 to $1000 so a year older would probabley add a few hundred dollars. I did see one at a bird sale that was a 2010 one for $600 last week but it wasnt a very nice looking bird.

rod038

Yes it is possible. The Lutino mutation is sex linked meaning the hens will be coloured birds and can not be split but the cock birds can be coloured or splits. It sounds like the breeder has sold you a pair with a split cock and lutino hen which will breed Lutinos in both cock and hens

rod038

You will need at least one Violet. Hen or Cock. It doesnt matter.

rod038

They will generally mate on the perches in their cage. It may take a few weeks before the hen will lay. She will go into box and rearange the nesting matierial first.

rod038

It shouldnt matter if the birds are compatable. All my pairs are made up of different colours.

rod038

I have a Normal Green 2 year old male that hasnt got his ring yet.

rod038

They should be able to find their own way out when they are ready.

rod038

Yes it is a bit late now. You may have to wait till next season.

rod038

In NSW 2010 Violet Blues are selling for the same price as last year around $450 to $600. I would say if they are 2009 birds and will more than likely breed next year then around $1500 would be about right. Last year 2008 Violet Blues were going for about $1000. Find out about the parents. You dont ...

rod038

Hope your joking.

rod038

Yes I would keep doing what you are doing by adding some soft foods for them to try and eventually mix in some seed as well. Keep the box clean and remove uneaten food. Ringnecks do eat seed as the main part of their diet, Supplemented with fresh fruit and vege.

rod038

I would get a bigger breeding box at least 30cm x 30cm and 60 cm in height with a mesh ladder or wooden slats for them to climb up and down on inside of the box. My birds breed as it is starting to warm up. Going from Winter to Spring.

rod038

One of my pairs had 5 hatch and they all hatched over 3 days. 2 the first day, 2 the next day and 1 the day after. The last one always seemed smaller, but they are all going well now and are about 6 weeks old. So it may not be as bigger gap as you think if you only want to take a few. I would wait t...

rod038

The 1st pair is a 12 month old hen and a 3 year old cock. The cock has bred before.

The second pair is a 2 year old hen (1st time) and an 8 year old cock that has bred before.

It just seems strange that it all happend in both nest boxes in seperate cages on the same night.

rod038

Thanks for the replies. I have never seen any lizards around here. I dont think it would be lizards or snakes. No blood on any parents and one of the hens is white so it would stand out I guess. I have put some baits done and I might set a few traps for tonight and see what happens. The babies were ...

rod038

The parents are fine they are eating as normal and dont look any different.

Hello. Im in Bathurst NSW.

I have 3 pairs of Ringnecks in 3 seperate suspended cages. The first pair laid 5 eggs and have raised 5 babies, all of which are feathered now. The second pair were a month behind in laying but layed 4 eggs and the first 2 to hatch just vanished out the box, egg shells and all. The third one hatched...
