if the pic not good say to me
i want to know if this irn can breeding
thanx all

Well, I can tell you it is at least two yrs old because he has developed the ring, short of that, noone can tell you how old a bird is by looking at it.

He could be 2, 12 or 20, literally... only a vet could tell you an approximate age. Even then, it would be an approximate guess.

Sorry I couldnt answer your question but welcome to the board. Im sure you will find alot of info helpful and make a few friends.

He is a pretty fella but I would have to say he is no 'spring chick'.

EDIT: You are very welcome.

thank you

mikela is right about the age of the male. how ever you picks seem washed out if you can take clearer pics of if the bird is green look at the ring the more pronouced the ring the older the bird. if jsut a bleed red then he is closer to two if it pronouced then it older.

Its hard to tell from the pics, but are those 'african' ringnecks? They look to have the darker beak colour than P.krameri krameri which is the indian subspecies that most (all?) of us on these boards have.

hwo can u tell i only make out they are ringneck only. how did u coem to the conclusion that they are african.

from the pics, they look like they have a darker beak, not a bright red beak like most of the birds on this forum. also elhagen is in egypt so its possible!

but as I said in my post above, the pics are not all that clear, hence why I'm asking the owner please dont get carried away, i was just asking the question!

just out of interest, heres a link to some african ringneck pics:

also i may have confused myself on the subspecies, i think the ones we know as indian ringnecks are P. krameri millensis and the africans are P.krameri krameri? can anyone confirm?

Some things never change.

i didn't mean it likeu think im saying im asking how do u know because al i can figire out fro teh pics are tath its a rinneck nothin else only way i knew that because of the body type thats all

No worries Scarlet, I understand what you are saying but just wanted to clarify that I wasnt sure either.

like scarlet said .. the pictures seems washed out.. maybe thats why the red of the beak seems washed out ? need a clearer pic I think just for interest sake

indian ringneck: Psittacula k. manillensis

african ringneck: P. k. krameri


There are four ringnecks under Psittacula krameri, basically the indian and african are just different subspecies (two of the four).

Then there is the Malabar:-

I just learnt about this bird





Scarlet: The blues are amazing, but the cobalt and the violet are totally awesome if you can get them pure.

Im sorry, i thought i was asking you that question!

I'm a bit confused by your post... are you saying that your male has a coral red beak but the female has a darker beak?

I got no clue, I read the site and looked at the pictures and I cant tell the difference.

look all whats the different between the indian ringneck and the african ringneck i think all like one i think no different in breeding and fun and talking
sorry all for your time
and i very sorry for my english
sorry carly i know your want to help me
thanx all

The african ringnecks and indian ringnecks are two separate subspecies. Meaning they don't interbreed in the wild.



The two in the top picture are african ringnecks. See how their head seems out of proportion to their bodies- the way the front juts out further? And the colour of the beak as well. They're just shaped differently.

But the bottom pic looks like in indian ringneck. Again by the body shape. A much more rounded head on that boy.
Your IRN boy must be at least a year. He has his ring, but other than that I can't tell.


Carly, elhagan was saying the two in the top (one being female) have darker beaks but the male in the bottom pic has a red one. ^^
