What's wrong with my ringneck?

Post by nalukaikamahine »

He's supposed to be a turquoise grey, so I expected and have seen some green around his forehead, feet and wings. I noticed a few days ago that he seems to be getting greener in places that I hadn't expected.

Is this normal?

He's healthy and well fed etc...I'm just confused because I don't know what to make of this.

Any suggestions?

nothing is wrong with him- he'll get more of the greenish colour as he matures-and by the time he is fully matured he'll be fully coloured.

Here is a Grey (could be an Indigo as it has less 'green', than a Turquoise)- but you should get the idea :)

Oh wow Sheyd! That's gorgeous! I was under the impression that the green only covered the tips of feet head and wings. Hopefully Apollo is that pretty when he feathers out!

Thank you!
