Newbie with a question.

[elisa2097]

Hi everyone i have recently bought a 5 month old ringneck for a companion for my male. I have noticed that tow toenail on each foot are missing, could this be a deformaty due to inbreeding and if so would it cause problems if we wanted to breed from the bird in the future?

Any advise would be much appreciated,
Elisa

Hi

This could be the cause of other parrot, maybe the young IRN was next to bigger
IRN or other parrots, they tend to bait each others toes through the wire if the the cages are next to each other
