Hey, could you take some pics? What colour is he?

SCB 22

https://imageshack.com/a/ITEq/1 Please go take a look at my greens - the beak changes as they mature, although the black seems to show on the top beak as well (you will see it on the one green female) when she fully matured the top was the normal reddish orange and bottom solid black. It is normal f...

SCB 22

Hi, is it the upper or lower part of the beak? How old is the bird? If it is a young bird busy maturing the lower part of the beak does turn black as the bird matures, see my pics below of a young bird and then a mature bird : http://imageshack.com/a/img706/5379/9mwy.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img8...

hi there, are you certain you have a male and female? the crouching and spreading of wings, with head tipped back it typical female behaviour? Sorry cant answer the question of when your breeding season starts as I am from south Africa!

SCB 22

How old is it? Is it fully feathered? Have you noticed the parents feeding it at all? If the parents are not feeding it, and it is unable to get back to the nest you will need to take action.

SCB 22

If you look at the second pic, you can see his feathers have only half come through on his head and he is very bald and patchy looking all over. I myself personally have never seen a baby at that age look tatty like that? His wing feathers also look odd, in all my babies i have ever had, ive never k...

SCB 22

PLeasea explain what you mean by bleaching eggs?

SCB 22

So sad to say - this advert on gumtree - it looks as if this may baby may have the exact same condition.....

LOL. Thats all i can say. just L*O*frikkikng L.

SCB 22

Yep completely normal, also a baby thing... they grow out of it

SCB 22

Hi SCB, Your bird dysplays those markings following a patched psittacin pattern (or a turquoise pattern): increased amount on the coverts of the wings and head, time dependent expression with markings increasing with age and an "inside the feather" distribution pattern typical of psittaci...

SCB 22

She has one or 2 of the marks but not as dark on the one side of her head/ face that you can vaguely see in that one pic

SCB 22

i dont see how their diets could be improved any further, they are on a pellet diet, in addition to seeds as well as a selection of fresh fruit and veg? not an identical diet as they are in different homes, but the same basic elements. Different brand of pellets and offered different fruit and veg. ...

SCB 22

And here is the male, before his moult, trying to get more recent pics. Both live in different households, and complete different lifestyles and diets

SCB 22

its hard to tell, seems to be the same place, and darker. Male has more of a set "pattern" across his wings, where as she seems to be a bit more all over the place? Glanced over the article, and i just find it strange that 2 birds, in complete different households, one is an aviary bird, o...

SCB 22

That was before his moult this year, same as the female, and hers got darker, i am trying to see if the male has gotten darker as well.

SCB 22

They are immediately dark, father was a normal green, mother was green cinnamon edged bird. 3 males and 1 female in the clutch. Only in touch with owner of the one male and this female. And seems they both have the odd marking, but i am trying to get more recent pics of the male, but here is one htt...

SCB 22

I'd have a hard time letting go of either of them :D SCB22...it looks like stress barring or maybe damage to the feather structure. Has she had her year old molt yet? If it doesn't disappear with that, then I have no idea. She has had it since a chick, and seems a male sibling in another household ...

SCB 22

Hey little buttercup, you would get green and greygreen babies. My male is green and female a grey.
Think someone did say there was possibility of blue if the cock bird was split blue? not 100% on that one.

SCB 22

This female is about a year old, and has had these marking since a chick, they were fewer and lighter but have increased with moulting. Any idea on the cause? she eats a balanced diet, pellets, seed, fresh fruit and veg and is in perfect feather condition otherwise. i think her one male sibling, in ...

SCB 22

Any idea what these marking could be from on this young female? She is a year old now. She has the black looking marking since a chick. http://imageshack.us/a/img716/6568/6gw4.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img692/2351/tqx6.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img4/3566/5rla.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img96/8113/...

Did yours end up hatching, SCB22?

Hi pinkdevil, yes i got 3 out of 3, 3 green and a greygreen baba 6 weeks old now!

SCB 22

Im guessing its a ..... RINGNECK.... and a pretty one at that

SCB 22

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand?

SCB 22

Hi Kimma, If you planning on calling your baby Zie till you know the sex, you going to be waiting a very very long time if you wait for a ring to appear, some males only get their ring as late as 3 years, and some as early as a year - 18 months. He / she is lovely though, they ugly / cute when they ...

SCB 22

Is it like a aaaaawwwk awwwwk awwwwk noise? if so, thats a normal baby thing, all of mine do it the second i touch them, and they do grow out of it

SCB 22

Would love an update as to whats happening with the eggs!

SCB 22

Hi there - imageshack is good for uploading pics! hope this helps.

SCB 22

Unfortunately once the males have their complete "full" ring so to speak (such as the bird in your pic) its hard to tell age, but to have a solid ring such as that, i would say that bird is a mnimum of 3 years old... Pity about the owner not telling the truth - maybe he meant 6 years and n...

SCB 22

God luck with your baby you will find tons of great advice here! Being a bit scared will be normal for the first few days, just until your new little one learns to associate food with you as his new owner, and then he / she will be your new best buddy :-P What food are you feeding him, and how often...

SCB 22

Shaun just remember the new eggs may not show as fertile yet, you need to wait the minimum of ten days before the latest would even show signs of being fertile, before you go ahead and dispose of them!

SCB 22

Hi there - i sent you a pm!

SCB 22

Sounds like he is just starting the stage where they nibble on anything. Is the "bite" done in a manner where he almost seems to be testing how much and how hard of a bite he can get away with, or is it outright angry, lunge at you, pin his eyes nip you hard sort of biting? My guess is its...

SCB 22

Hi there, if you browse the forum, look for the posts and notes on "bluffing" and how to deal with this phase that MOST young ringnecks go through, you should find tons of tips and help here

SCB 22

nope no link showing, read through, and it gives you the specific option of the link to use in forums, then the pictures show up directly in your post, and we dont have to click on a link and go to a seperate page, we can view it right here in this forum

SCB 22

Best way to upload pics is create a free imageshack account, upload your pics there, and then post the link for forums into your posts here and your pics pop up

SCB 22

Hey, welcome! Im also from SA but durban

sure you'll enjoy this site, and all this info and tips you find here

SCB 22

Why dont you just pop her and her cage outside or into another room while you vacuum? Or if the cage is too big, just let her have some time out the cage, but in another secure room while you vaccum, then once you return her to her cage, if you are still worried about the smell, open the windows etc...

SCB 22

Hi looks to be a normal blue baby, colouring will stay the same, unless it is male, then he will get his ring when he matures

SCB 22

What i meant was it was stuck, it had dried in that position, obviously with our weather, there wasnt enough humidity, once i had misted the box and the egg, he managed to start unsticking itself from itself basically, its a bit weak but seems to be doing ok so far.

SCB 22

Was worried as my 3 eggs started pipping midday monday, and by yesterday sound from within had gotten very soft, but 2 pushed out on their own, 3rd i gave a bit of help as it was stuck in the oddest positions with both its legs and one wing over its head, its alot weaker than the other 2, but surviv...

SCB 22

I seem to have so many little issues this year i have never had before

On average, from when baby starts pipping, how long should it take baby to break free from the shell?

At what point should i intervene and assist them?

SCB 22

Sorry should have said, reason i asked age, is with younger birds, (in my experience) if it is their first clutch, you may not get many fertile eggs, with my young birds, their first season breeding ive had one clutch of completely infertile eggs from each female, then second clutch they seem to do ...

SCB 22

Im from Durban, and i know its down right impossible, even with a leg ring to trace the breeder. There is no "central" place to go to that has listings of the breeders and their numbers to contact them. In theory : A bird flies into your yard, and you catch it. It does have a leg ring. But...

SCB 22

Sooooooo. any news on fertile yet???? My 3 are due to hatch in the next 3 days and i have had ENOUGH of waiting

SCB 22

Both.... are .....

MALES!!!

SCB 22

Ringo, i mean no offense, but if you are not even sure what you are checking for when you check in the nest (to see if baby is being fed) will you be ok to hand feed, not knowing if you feeding baby too much or too little? Have you been shown the correct way to feed etc, wouldnt want for you to lose...

SCB 22

What would you say this one is ?

It is a year old in October.

SCB 22

The bird is 12months this month... And the lack of tail, is thanks to my other bird Peanut who decided he didnt like the poor things tail... Also bear in mind, some pics are taken with flash, some not so it affects the colouring in general, makes some things darker and lighter than they are really :...

SCB 22

Hi there, i dont have any pics of him when he was younger, but here is one of his offspring from last year, what would you guess it to be? I know the sex, but lets see.
