Re: My ringneck has just laid an egg

Brilliant, guys, thanks for your help :)

I'll try to update this post if I remember when they (hopefully) hatch.

Re: My ringneck has just laid an egg

I was told breeders expect eggs around end of March here. I live in Malta, we don't have central heating and it's a bit humid, so the cold is felt in the house as well. It was just a pointer I was given really, they didn't tell me to expect the worst or anything. But I'd prefer knowing what to expec...

Re: My ringneck has just laid an egg

Thanks, I decided to let them go ahead. Someone told me they might not hatch as it's a bit early since it's still a bit cold over here. How long would it normally take them to hatch?

Re: My ringneck has just laid an egg

The petshop is a bit unorganised, wouldn't be able to get that information.

Should I just risk it since she's already laid one? I would be prepared to hand feed, as I already did it with one of the two I've got and am comfortable with that.

Re: My ringneck has just laid an egg

It's more of an assumption really, both came from the same pet store at the same age.

I wouldn't want to scar them for the rest of their life though. I remember my cat went mental when one of her kittens died. Don't birds react the same?

My ringneck has just laid an egg

Hi All, I've got 2 sibling ringnecks, 1 male, 1 female. They were separated for a while, but then I got them together as the owner of the female didn't want her anymore (not sure if that makes a difference, just thought I'd point that out). I've placed a box in their cage a while ago, and we now hav...

Ringneck bluffing

With reference to this article http://www.indianringneck.com/bluffing/ . It is said that the bird beads its eyes when bluffing. One of my birds tilts its head upwards and beads its eyes, I see this as an invitation to scratch its neck. And he/she enjoys it. I get the occasional bite, but it is not a...

Ringnecks plucking each other

Hi, I've got two indian ringnecks that were bought at the same time as babies but lived apart for 6 months or so and have now been in the same cage for roughly another six months. I believe they are siblings, but am not really sure about that. They get along fine. I've noticed them cleaning each oth...
