We know that Harlequin's have a neckring I don't know why a DF Harlequin would not produce a neckring. Hi Chris, it's a very simple answer. A completly white (beside the bright blue sheen on the head) bird can't show a neckring because all melanine and psittacine is removed resp. prohibited the be ...
