I know.........I know do your research and have! lol But..........I bought this Blue ringneck and was told it was a female but when I saw the picture I'm thinking MALE..............then I went to pick him/her up......I'm thinking MALE but................the lady said she was told female by two other people.
Ok..........I know show you a picture..........I tried to photobucket it....and it said the picture was considered a ZIP. Does anyone know how to UNZIP the photo? If not I can e-mail the e-mail from her with the pic and please let me know.
I can tell you it has a BLACK dark ring in front and lightens as it goes up like maybe white or gray.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a pic. Male or female?

Congrats on your new birdie son. He is beautiful. More pics! What is he like?

Sorry I cant visually age him, after maturity that becomes a guess. We see where guessing can get you. :lol:

That little man is aaaaall boy, for sure. Age, at least 2 because he is ringed out. They live a very long time so really no telling. Could be 2 or 12.

Yeahhhhhhhhh! Romeo he'll be! lol

Thank you so much my friend! I wanted a male for my female. I just love this breed!!!!!!!! I bought him from a lady with the exactl cockiel color you have. And a big cage for $200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll post the pictures more pictures now that he's here. She said he was tame but she had no time time for them both and now I need to tame them down.
He's beautiful! Well they both are. Sunshine is a brilliant yellow.

Yep he's a he! And he's GORGEOUS! And is that a Great Dane puppy in your arms???? I love Great Danes. In fact I had one who looked JUST like that pup in your arms for 13 wonderful years until he had to go to puppy (I'm sorry, I usually refer to all dogs as puppies regardless of age) heaven! His name was Poto and I had from 5 1/2 weeks old until he was 13. He was my pride and joy. I miss him to this day and it's been almost 20 years since he died. He was my first baby. So fill me in on the pup in your arms!

Hugs,
Jen

Hi again,

That Great Dane pup looks just like one my flight instructor had :D Funny story: the airport sponsored an air show and my flight instructor was helping. His dog was with him and he was needed elsewhere, so he tied the dog to the nosewheel of a little Cessna 150 with her water bowl and feed dish. Ten minutes later, both dishes were empty and she wanted more so she took off down the taxiway looking for her master with the plane in tow :o :o :o :o :o

It sounds like you have MBS big time (multiple bird syndrome) :D I have it too, but my wife had me take"THE PLEDGE" Mik, if you're out there, is "THE PLEDGE" a legally binding contract, are there any loopholes? See, there's this baby umbrella cockatoo at the bird breeder's store that's bonding with me :lol:

Huge and many loopholes:

Because we cant be held responsible for our actions. We are sick. :cry:

Like an addict for drugs, no control :!:

Our family can only support us and hope we get better. The success rate of MBS, however isnt very high. One usually relapses after a very short time.

:lol:

try a rubberband

You know put a rubberband on your wrist and every time you get the urge you snap the rubberband, only for mbs you put it on the uncooperative partner's wrist and everytime they say "not another bird" you snap the rubberband for them until they get the idea MBS is not cureable it's contagious.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Mik you are funny :lol: :lol: :lol:
I am afraid I am a bit more sarcastic than funny.

And look at the cool signature you've got.
I've got to get a picture of my antisocial cat so I can beg
one of you guys to do a neat one for me.

Oh and Mik,
Around the forehead seems like a much better idea, should get their attention faster.
