Hi and welcome to the site. There is so much useful information here. He is a beautiful bird. I have 3 and am getting a 4th next week. They are all really different and like completely different foods. All of them like apples and pod peas, they like pasta, sweet red peppers 2 like, one doesn't, pean...

I think it is very confusing information also. I am thinking flat linoleum with unprinted newspaper for easy cleaning. My flight cages will be on a wooden deck in an enclosed screen porch. I plan to put hardware cloth underneath the linoleum to make doubly sure predators are no problem.

rosemaryalice

Hi! Fortunately all my birds live in the screen porch and we live on acreage. There are no neighbors for a half a mile on that side of the house. I can really enjoy them because they are really close and I can see them from the living room but if we want to watch tv or sleep in the noise doesn't bot...

I don't know what Mr. Pickles parents were but the girl I got him from thought he was split to blue. I think to get violet you have to have at least one violet. Green violet is the same as SF violet for breeding purposes. My green female was supposed to have a blue father and lutino mother. I may br...

rosemaryalice

Thx, Ellie, It does sound kind of like a puppy crying. These birds all have their own personalities and are very different from each other. Their colors are beautiful. They are so much fun to watch. It is hard to stop adding more of them!

rosemaryalice

I have 3 ringnecks. 2 males and a female in separate cages. Mr. Pickle is loud, he screeches when he wakes up for a while and in the evening. He chatters and wolf whistles and makes his presence known. Dilly the female is quiet and occasionally screeches or will scold if I walk by the cage with a bl...

rosemaryalice

I know that she is split to blue which is what I was looking for. Thank you for the good information. Rosemary

I am going to pick up a green violet female IRN in about a week. Is there anything that I need to look for to be sure that is what it is. The pictures the breeder sent me look like an olive type of green with a violet tail. It is in an aviary with all blues and violets. She is about a year old and I...

rosemaryalice

Congratulations and good luck with the breeding. I am getting a green violet in a couple of weeks to breed with my blue cinnamon next year. It is really exciting to get new ones and hard to stop adding them! that will make 4!

rosemaryalice

Thx! He really is beautiful and my favorite of all my birds. He is the noisiest and loves attention. My green female, Dilly, is pretty quiet unless I walk past her cage with a blue yardstick. She hates it! I have it by the flight cages because I am measuring space to figure out which walk in flights...

rosemaryalice

Just curious, what would you have to do to get another bird just like Mr. Pickle (turquoise). Is there anything you could breed him to and get that.

rosemaryalice

Mr. Pickle says thankyou for the compliment. He is beautiful and quite a character. He is starting to wolf whistle and chats to me in bird talk a lot. I really love this bird.

rosemaryalice

Wow! Those are some exciting possibilities! I think I will see if I can scrounge up the money and get her. She is not a bad match for my turquoise either if they didn't like each other. Thank you for the information!

rosemaryalice

I have a chance to get a year old hen that is violet green/blue for a reasonable price. I think I might try this. Hopefully this will work out. I wouldn't attempt to breed her until next year as she is still young. Just curious what would be the result with her and the blue cinnamon? I plan to breed...

rosemaryalice

The pastel blue violet sounds like a great prospect. They are really beautiful but expensive. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket! I think the blue cinnamon violet lacewing combination sounds very interesting. I have to think of how much space I have and how many flights I can fit into it. I think t...

rosemaryalice

Another question, what if you bred the green violet to a violet male? Or the turquoise male to a violet? The turquoise is bright green on his head and wings, turquoise on his body and dark turquoise on his wing tips and tail. He is really a beautiful bird. Great personality too. There is no end to t...

rosemaryalice

Thanks again! That is the best news possible as I love the creamino and the breeder got him from has them for sale. He does breed lots of them so I know I can get one in the future if not right now. I found a violet green that I plan to get for my turquoise male so I will have to wait until I sell s...

rosemaryalice

Thanks for the reply! I will definitely look for a different mate for him. What about a blue lacewing or cinnamon blue? Also a Creamino? There is so much to learn and this site is extremely helpful as questions keep coming up.

rosemaryalice

I have a blue cinnamon male and was wondering what the possibilities would be if I breed him to a grey green cinnamon/blue or a green lacewing/blue? He may be split to lacewing. I don't want to get too many greens. If neither is right I can wait until something better comes along.

rosemaryalice

Here are a few birds that I can get for a mate for him. A grey green cinnamon/blue, a grey, or a green lacewing/blue. I don't want to end up with all green, what are the possibilities?

rosemaryalice

Thanks so much for the great pics and info. I don't know if you can tell from my pictures but he is actually very much like the colors of the lace wing but his head has blue on it. I am going to see the breeder to get another bird and I will try to get more info. Whatever he is he is very pretty. He...

rosemaryalice

I know the breeder breeds a lot of cinnamon so could be. Now I will start looking into it. I am going to see the breeder again to get another one so I will talk to him and see what he says. Let me know if you get any new info!

rosemaryalice

It's much easier to convince my husband that I need another one so I can sell some babies! I am sure I will end up keeping some too. They have such different personalities from each other. I love this site! One place that people don't think you are crazy for taking lots of pictures of your birds and...

rosemaryalice

Welcome! You will love having and IRN. They have the greatest personalities. It is very hard to stop at one! I am now on my 3rd and looking for a 4th.

rosemaryalice

Beautiful birds! Love the color of the one in the last picture. They look great!

rosemaryalice

Here are some pictures of my new IRN. I got him from a local breeder at a birdmart. He is a proven adult lacewing. Now I have to decide what to do about breeding him. I have a green possibly split to blue hen but I might try to get another lacewing. I also have a turqouise cock that I am going to ge...

rosemaryalice

Thank you for the good info! i wonder why the books and websites don't have anything that covers that.

rosemaryalice

I have a question about breeding I have never seen answered anywhere. How old is too old for a ringneck to breed? How many years can they become parents? I have looked on line and can't find a thing.

Rosemary

rosemaryalice

I have turq's too. Aren't they beautiful? They had 3 babies, 2 males and a female and when I posted an ad for them I got 3 responses the same day and sold them right away. I traded another pair that I had for my turquoise ringneck Mr. Pickle. Are yours really shy? All of mine have been. I also have ...

rosemaryalice

Hi, I finally figured out how to post pictures. Here is Mr. Pickle(turquoise) and Dilly (green). I love these beautiful birds and plan to add more to my flock.

rosemaryalice

I think I figured out how to post a picture! Thank you for your help. I am located in Northern California. I am going to put some aviaries in my screen porch for the ringneck pairs and then I will start looking for the right matches for the birds I have. This should have pictures of Mr. Pickle and D...

rosemaryalice

Thanks again! This gives me a lot to think about. It is hard to find the violets unless they are babies and that would put off breeding for years. I have seen the green violets infrequently. I do have time to look and will keep trying to find the right match. Then I have to hope that they think it i...

rosemaryalice

One more question. I have seen green violets. Would the combination with Mr. Pickle produce any violet babies? I am trying to sort this all out before I look for any more birds since I want to breed them with the best possible combinations. We live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in ...

rosemaryalice

Thanks again for your very useful information. I think I might breed the 2 I have in the spring unless I have saved enough and can find a violet or blue violet. I can always change the pairings later. I am also adding flight cages so I can separate all the breeding pairs. I have lots of birds but fe...

rosemaryalice

Thank you for the advice! I have a green hen that had a lutino mother. Not sure if her father was blue or green.She has a light brown wash over her head and chest and wings and a dark turquoise tail with yellow underneath. Next question is what would they produce? I am definitely leaning towards get...

rosemaryalice

I have a pastel blue cock and a green hen. Her mother was lutino and the father they weren't sure if it was blue or green. What are the possibilities from this combination?

rosemaryalice

Thx, I think I am going to go for the violet. That is what I was hoping they would turn out to be.

rosemaryalice

Hi! I still need an answer to the question what will the offspring be from a green split to blue male with a violet or a blue female. I would appreciate any input as I am starting to look for a mate for my boy. He is an aqua color body with green wings, dark turqouise tail and bright green head. I w...

rosemaryalice

Is their a safe aviary wire out there that is not as expensive as stainless steel? I know you have to wash the galvanized wire with vinegar but is their anything ready to use? I have a lot of compartments to the aviary I am building and will use a lot of wire. What gauge and spacing is best for ring...

rosemaryalice

Thx for your info. The breeder told me that was the split but she as them as aviary birds and could be mistaken. The bird is a beautiful shade of blue not pale at all.

rosemaryalice

I found an ad from a someone who wanted to trade Turquosine Australian Grass parakeets for an 2 year old Indian ringneck. I have some turquoisines breeding and had one pair to trade. I got a beautiful very friendly aviary bird. He already is eating from my hand and listens to everything I say (much ...

rosemaryalice

Hi! I just got a gorgeous green split to blue male indian ringneck. He is 2 years old and would love a girlfriend. If I get a blue or a violet what would the babies be? I also have a chance to get a blue split to grey male what is the best match for him?

rosemaryalice

thx for your reply It is a beautiful place for the birds because it is on the side of the house with a very large area of trees and plants that lead down to a reservoir. It is full of birds and that is what my birds look out on. I love to sit out there and listen to all the bird calls, both mine and...

rosemaryalice

Hi! I have many finches and canaries, a lovebird and Turquosine Australian Grass Parakeets. I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mts. in No. California. My bird room is an enclosed screen porch. All of my birds are in flight cages with Avitemp heat panels on each one and they are against the...
