i met a guy at a pet shop who says he bought and sold a MEXICAN RINGNECK i told him theres no such thing. he described it and sounded exactly like a blue irn to me. iv never heard/seen about one before do you know if there is such thing as a MEXICAN RINGNECK? id sure like to know

this guy isnt as knowledgable about birds. when i showed him bubba he couldnt believe his eyes he didnt even know there were hybrid macaws like bubba. iv shown/told him species hes never even heard of along with lots of care faqs. i told him it was probubly a blue irn but he said the lady who gave it to him called it a mexican ringneck? :shock:

The guy's an idiot! In Oz we have Mallee ringneck and 28 parrots. These are completely different from IRNs. I did a google search 2 back myself up. Nothing in images

There are tons of other kinds of ringnecks but none by the name "mexican"
