I recently lost my very young female lutino ringneck and have been wanting to get another one. I just adore ringnecks and cannot live without them, I was just not ready for a new one as I was still missing my friend.
I have recently been going through very bad ringneck withdrawl and took the plunge and got a new one. This one is a blue and is 7 months old - sex is unknown at the time. S/he has not been handled much since weaning, but is still very sweet. We will be working together lots to get her or him used to me.
I do have one question for everyone though - Would you say my new addition is a male or female. I am asking for a visual guess - I know it will just be a guess and there is no way to know other then the ring or DNA sexing, but I am just looking for guesses at the moment.
I could be wrong, but I am guessing possibly male as you can sort of see an indent around the neck where a ring might come in, but it is possible that is nothing. I am also just guessing and asking for other guesses.
Here are the pics -

Oh hmm - that is interesting! I have actually never noticed that before in other IRN. My female who I lost recently had NO indent or anything at all that looked like a ring. She was DNA tested and in fact a female - since she was female and nothing that looked like a possible ring on her I thought maybe this way a possible ring coming in, but if other birds have this I am obviously wrong.
