Wow what cute little dinosaurs you have (that’s what they are, aren’t they?) lol. Just kidding, but they are cute. How old would they be now? Good luck!!! :lol:

A bird never flew on one wing.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 1:17 am

The oldest would be 6 days old and the youngest babies would be 2 days old. It helps that all 3 pairs hatched on the same day

Dani03 · Post by **Dani03** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 8:41 am

Aren't they adorable! I just love those little bitty chicks! I used to breed cockatiels...and those were tiny little babies. I just love them when they first hatch and have all that downy fluff...

What colors are the parents?

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 7:31 pm

Hi Dani,

The parents are:

First picture - Pastel Skyblue Cock x Silver Hen
Second picture - Blue Cock x Pastel Blue Hen
Third picture - Grey Cock x Grey Hen

I am so used to seeing baby Lovebirds and these Ringnecks are huge in comparison

They sure are! Baby lovebirds are like little VW bugs compared to the lincoln navigator ringnecks. ^^

Jeremy:

Thank you SO much for sharing, please update often.

So fragile and precious, even compared to my little 3 day old kittys.

Melika · Post by **Melika** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 2:07 am

What ugly little things, no offence. All featherless birds are ugly. xD

But I know they'll be little beauties soon!

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 2:21 am

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:27 pm

Not much colour yet, a few Greys

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 12:28 am

So far their are 2 Blues

Post by **Datsun and Family** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 12:34 am

I love when they have bald heads! I miss that with the two I have at the moment, I could spend 20 minutes kissing their little old man baldie heads! Now they have feathers and Im kinda sad about it...

Is that weird?

They are all so cute, makes me want more.

Post by **kyria** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:50 pm

The picture Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2005 7:28 am - title: so far there are two blues:- Something about that little one on the right with its face up against the wall that just draws me to it, makes me go all soft and lovey! If I could get one that would be the one.

And look at those two runts up the back, hehehe, soo cute. I wish I had the guts to breed. Maybe in a few years and once I have plenty of knowledge .. sigh!

Just toooooo cute!

p.s how much are your sun conures I am kinda looking around at them at the moment for my daughter. Plus does anyone know much about Malabar's .. Thanks!

baby_bella · Post by **baby_bella** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:15 pm

sun conures range from $350 to some breeders $800 so you just have to shop around, i knoww a lady breeder who has breed irns for many years and will be breding sun conures now, i get one baby form her first clutch for $350, but the cheapest you may find is $400... try your local newspapers, pet stores (ask for breeders names etc.) or even newspapers solely on selling the one in West aust is called the quokka, or on www.petlink.com.au try sensis.com and trading post.com! you just have to shop around!

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 2:09 am

I would sell my Sun Conures for $500-$600. They won't be breeding until mid next year so i will have to see what the price is like then.

ringybaby · Post by **ringybaby** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 3:42 am

OMG I want more babies!! They are so adorable & when I look at that big blue baby it just reminds me of my Squeak just a few weeks ago :lol:

Keep us informed & lots more photos please

Andrea

Post by **kyria** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 4:35 am

thanks for that .. I have been keeping an eye on www.petlink.com.au - this is where I found Kai's breeders.. I might give them a call too because they had and could get other birds.

also still does anyone know much about Malabar's ?

Thanks again

Andrea (Angie)

Mikaela · Post by **Mikaela** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 4:59 am

Knowledge is power and I feel NO question is a stupid question so here goes.

Do the babies skin feel like a thinner version of our skin before they get feathers? I have never had the opportunity to see a baby bird in real except smashed in the sidewalk and they usually have feathers by then. :cry:

Neokireina · Post by **Neokireina** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 6:55 am

Um it's hard to explain.. bappys skins are very soft and warm. It's moist but not wet and it's very loose. Theres not really enough of them to touch lol.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 10:51 pm

I have had people tell me they feel just like human babies skin.
Personally, i think it is a little rougher, probably because their skin is so loose and wrinkly but it is still nice and soft. Baby birds are very warm.

Angie, i don't know much about Malabar's. All i know is they are basically the same to breed as Ringnecks and apparnetly make VERY good pets. However, the price is a bit of a draw back if you want one for a pet

Post by **kyria** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 11:38 pm

Thanks Jeremy, I took a look online to see what I could search out and found this:-

I was asking because I found malabars for sale on petlink.com and was wondering about them.

Cheers

Melika · Post by **Melika** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 2:34 am

This is why animal husbandry has always drawn me. You get to work with babies (animal ones, lol) all the time. Then when they grow up you can say goodbye and feel good about giving a bird a good home and a good start.

I'm currently looking for Slaty-headed parakeets. ^^

ScarletKnight · Post by **ScarletKnight** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 9:08 am

hey us aid you got two ble and 2 grey how do you. i might be an idiot for not noticing but hwo cna you tell they look the same to be. Im curious as to how can u tell or u did that color chart thing and are guess whatever the answer is they look cute i wish i can have pleasure of seeing baby chicks grow. when my grandma did the rehabilitation she avoided all hunman contact and released them since their parents were wild caught.

ScarletKnight · Post by **ScarletKnight** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 9:10 am

the previosu post was in reference to jeremy pic of the baby birds not this one so you people don't think im cracy 100+ plus post whoo hoo.
scarlet

Post by **kyria** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 5:40 pm

Scarlet: I can see the difference between the blue and silver in the post above "Here is a Blue and a Silver" , so he would be able to tell how many he has. If you cannot see the colour maybe its your monitor colours or brightness/contrast ??

Cheers

ScarletKnight · Post by **ScarletKnight** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 8:04 pm

angie i was talking about the other post he had i dunno how it got to thsi one

Post by **kyria** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 8:27 pm

okies .. cheers darlin :wink:

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 10:30 pm

Scarlet,
In the earlier posts, although you can't see it in the photos, their colours were already coming in.

There was a mistake on my behalf however, saying there were a few Greys. At that stage i was only guessing because 5 babies came from a pair of Grey's.

So far there are 3 Silvers and the rest are Blue. However, some of the Blue's may be Pastel Blue (Turquoise), it is hard to tell at this stage

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 7:50 pm

Ok, there are 6 Blues, 1 Grey, 1 Pastel Blue, and 3 Silver (although 1 or 2 may be Pastel Silver....either that or they are just dirty)

Jonathan18 · Post by **Jonathan18** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 11:36 pm

OMG, i love your babies, i wish i could have at least one...well my IRNs havent mated yet...i need to do some more waiting...but they r just the regular green, dont get me wrong, i love green, but the blue ones r so cute...i love your pics...keep them coming please.

Angie, you stole my thoughts! I love that lil blue dude looking at me! He is gorgeous! Jeremy, they look amazing keep up the hard work!

Melika · Post by **Melika** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 1:16 pm

I just love that second pic! That little head- too cute! Nice colours you have.

Mikaela · Post by **Mikaela** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 5:54 pm

You and I arent weird Chamon... we are excentric.

I would like to believe there is a huge difference between the two. hehe

jen5239 · Post by **jen5239** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 7:06 pm

Jeremy,
They are DARLING!!!! Keep the photos coming! I love them! What color is the grey/silver one? I probably just answered it but I'm not sure. How gorgeous! Keep the photos coming.

Jen

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 11:55 pm

Jen, the baby in the 4th pic is a Silver (then again it might be Pastel Silver) and the baby in the 5th pic is a Grey

jen5239 · Post by **jen5239** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 5:54 am

Hey Jeremy,
Wow! I've never seen a silver. How gorgeous. What colors did you breed to come up with that? I think the greys are absolutely gorgeous too. You don't see them much around here at all. Mostly just the green, and blue variations. How much would a silver and grey cost over there? I know they would be heaps of money here. Just curious! Is it hard for you to sell your babies? Do you worry about them and if they'll get a good home? I would! So I imagine you do too. Sorry if those questions were offensive! I didn't mean them to be. Thanks for the pictures and keep them coming! I can't wait to see the silver and grey as they get a little older! What beauties!

Thanks,
Jen

Dani03 · Post by **Dani03** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 1:04 pm

they get cuter and cuter every day! I love those colors...WOW! That blue, the one staring right at the camera, talk about a poster child for IRNs lol. So cute. Can't wait to see them as they age...like Squeak did. :wink:

Dani and Prinny

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 10:49 pm

jen, the parents of the Silvers were a Pastel Skyblue Cock x Silver hen.

Over here, Greys are about $150 and Silvers $200 h/r.
Just 2 years ago you would have paid $300 for a Grey and $700 for a Silver :shock:

So far, i already have 3 people buying some babies from me so it doesn't seem like it will be too hard. I usually have trouble selling parent raised birds.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 2:59 am

here are some updates.

Mikaela · Post by **Mikaela** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:31 am

Is that a green, 2 blues, and two silvers? Or is one a Turquoise? Or that second one may be a grey but looks turq. in the pic. Sure looks like it on screen.

GREAT job. You are soooo lucky!
