cleartail

[justin30]

hello everyone,
I've just started breeding Indian ringnecks. I bought a violet colbalt cleartail which is a year old. The bird came with dna papers which say its male, I've been reading some posts on here and to my understanding a male should have a clear head, but my bird has not? could someone please explain as I'm new to breeding Indian ringnecks. thanks

when a cleartail mail reaches the age of 3 years he gets his clearhead
a young male looks the same as a female
