Hi looks like a normal blue ringneck, pics look as though you have used a flash when taking them.

Thanks

I gathered, i just want to know history, more knowledge!

[trabots]

Allyson, no disrespect but you will gain far more basic and essential knowledge with the purchase of either or both of 2 books than you will on a forum. I guarantee that you will enjoy your birds far more after that. If money is an issue I would go for the second book first.

They are:

T. Bastiaan's - Asiatic Parrots and Their Mutations

T. Martin's - Colour Mutations and Genetics in Parrots

Thanks

T. Bastiaan's - Asiatic Parrots and Their Mutations

Great book!!! Hard to find here in the states though a friend of mine has a copy. I'm still looking for mine.

Well i had a breeder over today to give me a nest box he took her out and held her and looked at her, suggesting she is a violet split. (he owns and breeds a large range of birds).. But when you look at her she has got a bit of violet in her.

normal Blue. no Indian Ringneck can be split to Violet.

Hi Allyson. I believe I've talked to you on another of your threads. I just thought I'd throw in some pics for you as reference since I own both a normal blue and a violet.

The top one is a normal blue. The bottom one is a violet.






And here they are together.



Violet Blue is a visual mutation. Either the bird is Violet Blue or isn't. Violet can be found in other color mutations, such as Violet Green, but a bird can not be split for violet (non visual). Hope that helps

I think she is a normal blue , that's what he just said xD I don't care anyhow, I'm sticking to blue.

[Allyson]

I was told she is 5, do you guys think so?

Molossus...I think I sent you the pm. Not sure if it went through.

Allyson...unfortunately without a hatch date or background there really isn't any way to tell. If they told you 5 then you just have to go by that number
