Hi Sheyd,

May I ask how or why you both suspect male judging by the colouration? I thought ringnecks could only be sexed via DNA or once mature? Apart from the sex linked gene and whether they are male or female depending on parents etc?

Thanks heaps!

Ah,ok then. That makes sense! Thank you so much for your help, sorry for all the questions! Though, at least I've got my head wrapped around the edged mutation now lol

Ok, so if she is indeed female, all male offspring will be edged, females will be straight colours. However if she is indeed a he, offspring will be 50/50 edged male and female as well as straight coloured male and female? or will all offspring be edged?

Gets so confusing sometimes haha

Ok, now I am confuse about this edge mutation.....? I've just spoken to another lady who breeds IRN regarding this mutation..... You've got listed that if I bred her (assuming female) with my male cobalt, all male offspring will have the edge mutation. However this lady I've spoken to said both male...

Ah ok then. Well, I'll defiantly be getting him/her DNA sexed now.

Thanks you so much for your help! Makes me think I got a real bargain yesterday, as I payed very little for this bird...

Ok, so edge is a mutation then?? Can't say I have ever heard of it.....? That being said, I've just looked in my book and it's all listed in their hehe I was told she is about 12 months old. The people I bought her from just said she was female as that is what the breeder told her. I do plan on gett...

An edged violet? Ok, so what does that mean...? Sorry....

Breeding wise, would she still produce regular offspring like a regular violet would or....? As i was looking at pairing her with my cobalt next year.

Hi guys,

I've just recently purchased a violet female(?). I have never had a violet before, and just wondering if this wing coloration is normal??

Thank you,
Sarah

Hey, Thanks heaps! :) I did wonder if they where simply refusing to eat and by vometing after feeding they where just trying to prove a point lol I have made the last few meals slightly warmer for them. Still a slight mission to actually feed them, but the last few times the food has stayed down whi...

Hi guys, Not to sure if this is the right section to post in.... So my apologies if I should have posted it elsewhere. I have been hand raising for a few years now. All with success and babies have grown up happy and healthy. I am currently raising 4 bubs. The 2 I am slightly concerned about are bet...

Thanks heaps! I can now put my brain to rest hehe

I had been tossing up between a couple of your suggestions! Was also contemplating finding a Turquoise/pastel blue. As I do like the idea of a turquoise cobalt. Ah well, I've got a bit of time to decide what I want!

Hi Guys, More of a confirmation so I know if I've wrapped my head around this...? I am going back through all the genetics etc as I am wanting to attempt to start breeding again. Last attempt was not to successful due to the fact me and my partner split and he took the breeding pairs..... Now, I hav...

Hi Deb, No worries, hopefully someone can help me with my question hehe Thanks for confirming that for me :) I had read something on the site (might have been FAQs?) about not being able to post pictures until you had posted a number of times and been a member for a certain amount of time.... Guess ...

Hi Guys, My partner and I bought what we where told to be, a Male Albino Ringneck. I asked the people we brought him from how they know he was a male. Had he been DNA tested as I know the whites/albinos do not get a Ring... They told me they didn't know if it has been DNA tested as they brought it f...

No worries, thank you for your help. I'll do that for sure!
