Indian Ringneck Mutations
I can remember as a child looking at wild
Indian Ringnecks and being fascinated by a simple green
ringneck. In my eyes, these birds were the most stunning I had
ever seen. The hints of blue, green, yellow, pink, and black
made them an amazing specimen to look at. It was not until I got
older did I realize they came in many colors. I can still
remember seeing my first yellow Indian Ringneck. I had no idea a
yellow ringneck could be just as amazing as a green ringneck--I
was captivated.
Upon further research, I was amazed at how much work breeders put
into breeding mutations. Literally, a good breeder will take
detailed notes, study genetics, wait roughly three years to pair
young juvenile birds, and wait for the genetic lotto to strike.
Simply put, it is an art and it can take a lifetime producing
some of the most exotic and beautiful specimens ever seen. I
know I am always amazed when a new mutation turns up in the
market--just when I thought we were done--i am left amazed again
and again.
With that being said, I am developing the largest mutation
catalog in the world. Thankfully so many wonderful members here
have submited their photos for our directoty. If you wish to add
to the mutation catalog, please e-mail me the mutation of your
ringneck and a photo to
