I just used a higher than normal shutter speed with the flash on. and Thanks!

SarahandEco

He's probably just molting. Ringnecks molt once a year, I think. The move might have stressed him a little and triggered molting a little early, but it's probably just natural. Eco started molting a couple of weeks ago. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

SarahandEco

aw that's so cute!! My Eco loves carrots, too! Thanks for posting, cute pics!

SarahandEco

From what I can tell the hen is a lutino and the cock is a normal blue. I'm no mutation wiz either, but that's what it looks like to me. If I managed to do the genetic calculator right, the results should be: 1.0 blue x 0.1 ino % from all 1.0 100.0% 1.0 green /blue ino % from all 0.1 100.0% 0.1 gree...

SarahandEco

Yeah it looks like he is just stretching or maybe he is getting a little hot and is trying to cool off. I don't think it's anything to worry too much about, but since you just got him, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go for a routine check-up with and avian vet if you have one in your area. I hope this...

SarahandEco

I actually think it would be much easier to tame "Polly" if you clipped his wings. It's really not all that traumatic for the birds if someone who knows what they are doing clips their wings. It's a lot easier to gain his trust when you're not running around chasing him all the time trying...

SarahandEco

I agree with smallworld. Check out behavior forums. Also remember to be patient. It will take time to gain your trust.

SarahandEco

Your flock is so beautiful! It's like a r a i n b o w !!!!! It's so great what you did for those birds and that you would work so hard at such a young age to help. Welcome to the boards and, as I assume you have figure out over the last few months, if you have any questions about your ringnecks, jus...

SarahandEco

aww they're so cute!!!

SarahandEco

Aww that's so cute! I know I won't get tired of looking at pics of the bubs! What colors do you think they are? It's truly amazing how fast they grow. They'll be all grown up pretty soon...

SarahandEco

Aww! Sooo cute! They look like they are doing great!

SarahandEco

Aww! They're so cute. oh please post more pictures when they start to get their feathers. Those are my favorite baby pictures.

SarahandEco

Beautiful pictures! Bluey looks so nice.

Keep up the good work and pretty soon you will have a very tame IRN.

SarahandEco

Beautiful bird! I love the cage too. Nice natural wood perches.

SarahandEco

haha yeah I wasn't sure if it was creamino or some other mutation I don't know about (because I'm not really up-to-date on a lot of them

) Again, beautiful pictures!

SarahandEco

thanks guys!

and to Kray Twins:
we usually had the curtains closed but they had started to fall a little so we took them down for a little while. He never tried to fly through the window, and we've clipped his wings now so he's not flying around anymore (although he tries sometimes

)

SarahandEco

Aw they are beautiful! What color is the male?

SarahandEco

haha I just noticed that in the third picture it looks like Eco had been playing in his water bowl. He has a little brown mark across his head. lol

SarahandEco

Thank you! These are my some of my favorite pics of Eco I have taken (and I have taken a WHOLE bunch of him). Eco definitely is a very happy, spoiled little boy.

SarahandEco

So I haven't posted pictures of Eco on here in a while. He has a ring now! I took a few pictures of him flying a while ago and I thought I would share them. Here they are! I hope they work. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb121/tigercat316/Eco/RSCN0661.jpg?t=1265148890 http://i211.photobucket.com...

SarahandEco

I can tell why you named him Goldman! He is very vibrant. Is he just a normal lutino?

SarahandEco

oh thank you. I can see that in your pictures. Beautiful birds by the way. I especially like the blue. It's beautiful!

SarahandEco

sorry for my ignorance, but what is an opaline mutaion. I don't know much about genetics. I've heard the terms used several times on this site, but it never exactly knew what the mutaion entalied.

SarahandEco

aw soo cute!

SarahandEco

oh this is exciting! What colors are the pairs? Please do post pictures when they hatch! I love looking at baby pictures. Good Luck! ;)

SarahandEco

I say Lotus.

SarahandEco

well the ring kinda appears suddenly. It takes a while for all of the feathers to grow in, but it doesn't get any darker or anything. Once the feathers grow in, it's usually in in one molt. Sorry if that doesn't make any since.

SarahandEco

ooh! So cute. What colors are the parents?

SarahandEco

1 year is about the average that IRNs and Alex's begin to talk, although some talk way before that, and some after that. I believe yours will begin to talk pretty soon if he's already do his little practice grumble. Do you have pictures? I've never heard of a ring from birth, and I assume it's not t...

SarahandEco

yeah I think that's about the size of my Eco's cage. I works really well.

SarahandEco

yeah I've wondered about that a lot too. How did the first mutations come about if they all used to be green?

SarahandEco

I think the only way blues can be bred is if at least one parent is blue or both parents are split to blue. But don't take my word on that. I've just gotten into the IRN world.

SarahandEco

Here are some recent pics These were from a couple of days ago. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb121/tigercat316/Eco/DSC_0152.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb121/tigercat316/Eco/DSC_0153.jpg This is one of the orange spots on his neck. I had to towel him because he always wanted to turn...

SarahandEco

I just went back to where I read that and it said it was between 85 and 99 depending on the quality of the DNA at the tip of the feather (it isn't as accurate if it's about to molt or is contaminated in some other way).

SarahandEco

ah thanks. I didn't know that a pallid-ino was one of the sex-linked mutations. thanks.

SarahandEco

I would say the female is a Pallid-ino.

Check out what it says about Pallid-inos on
http://home.wanadoo.nl/psittaculaworld/ ... rameri.htm

It's more towards the bottom of the page. I think it describes Poppy very well.

I think Buzz is a normal Blue.

SarahandEco

haha wow Una I used to watch your buzz and poppy on youtube when I was looking at ringneck videos (I do that a lot. I know I'm a dork...) they are kinda stars around my house. haha nice to meet you!

SarahandEco

My Eco is going through a molt now that started like a month ago. We were told he was 12 months in late April, which would make him about 15 months now and we are starting to see his ring.

SarahandEco

it sounds very good to me! Good luck!!

SarahandEco

I've heard it was about 90% accurate, but I've never tried it.

SarahandEco

Oh I just noticed the African Greys in the back. Are they congos? I love greys. I just can't get one at the moment.

SarahandEco

wow that's a lot of birdies! and that grey one in the back...is that a clearhead mutation? It's really pretty. I especially love all of those white beauties. They are so elegant. Good luck selling!

SarahandEco

oh very pretty birdies! what color is the female IRN?

SarahandEco

I think my baby's starting to get his ring...maybe. But maybe it's just me being over anxious or something. He's going through a molt and yesterday I noticed he had some new blue feathers on his head. Here's a pic of that... http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb121/tigercat316/Eco/DSC_0907-1-1.jpg A...

SarahandEco

wow! all of your IRNs are beautiful and your aviary is really good! Good pics!

SarahandEco

I love that second picture of Tucker. It's so cute! and of course all of the ones of Chiquita are lovely too!

SarahandEco

wow very beautiful bird! That cage is huge!! No wonder she loves it so much. You could keep a couple of kids in there...haha! Does she like her tent? I've been wanting to get one for Eco but I wasn't sure if IRNs like them.

SarahandEco

I have made a toy by tying strips of old t-shirts together to make a ball. My birdie loves it and leaves my shirt alone for the most part.

SarahandEco

Eco - I got him during green week and everyone was talking about being Eco friendly. I thought it sounded like a good name.
