Hello. I need help with my 6 weeks old ringnecks

[Jessibell]

Hello, my name is Jessica, and I have 2 Ringnecks of 6 weeks old. This is my first time taking care of birds, I've never have birds as pet before. I notice that both birds have no feathers right under their peak, they have some kind of bold hole there (one smaller than on the other bird), is this normal? what it could be?. I feed them, formula 3 times a day, like 20ml each time.

Thank you very much in advance.

I guess you should start from the beginning...bird anatomy

Second you should learn about feeding and weaning a ringneck

Out of curiosity, who sold you two unweaned baby ringnecks?? Normally breeders will only allow unweaned babies to go home to experienced bird persons. Nothing against you at all my first concern is always the bird. You may want to read as many articles as possible within the forum to get a jump start on things you will experience soon.

Hi, thanks for the links =) But I stil dont know the answer to my question, that hole doesnt seem normal.

That space is referred to as the interramal space. It allows the bird to rotate his head down all the way for preening.
