Whited headed indian ringneck

[maloo]

Hi

Can any one please sched some light if there is such a thing as a white headed ringneck without being pallid(lacewing).
A local produce store are selling 2 as whited headed ringnecks one being silver and the other looked like a skyblue but no cinnamon on the flight feathers..

If it is possible could someone please sched some light on how this occurs and is it worth buying if they are, as this is not the only time I have seen some advertised or in person for sale..

Thankyou to all that can help

Most likely they are Pallids as Grey and Blue Pallids don't have Cinnamon(Brown) flight feathers. They have them as Grey.

Listed below are other white-headed specimens (not containing Pallid or Cinnamon). Their contrast is darker than the Pallids since the body plumage are of a darker hue compared to the Pallids.

Blue and Grey Cleartail
Blue and Grey Clearhead Fallow (AKA Buttercup)
Blue and Grey Bronze Fallow

Could you post pictures of the birds for sale?

Now you ask if the birds are worth buying. That all depends on the asking price on these birds, their health, age, size, actual mutation and any splits they carry, the demand and popularity of these birds, etc. You have to remember that anything is only worth whatever amount people are willing to pay for them.

Here are price ranges in the US just to give you an idea:
Pallids $200-$400
Bronze and Clearhead Fallows $400-$800
Cleartails $1000-$2000

For the Violet and Cobalt versions of the above mutations, just add another $1000.
