Im new and I have some random questions :D

[samwise]

Hi everyone Ive recently got a ringneck and I think its the most beautiful bird on the planet! Two questions

Its a grey colour with slight very slight shades of green on its head and the edge of its wings. The breeder told me its 4 weeks old and I wanted to ask, is that its permanent colour? will it change? what age will it colour shade set if it isnt the case. Ive attached 2 pictures I think i attached them right...(he was asleep)

And also my bird is very active and loves to explore even though it can bearly stay balanced sometimes! is this a normal thing?

I think this forum thing is a brilliant idea! Ive learnt so much!

Thanks in advance to whoever replies!

Hi,
I not sure, he looks older than 4 weeks old too. I dont think the green will get any worse. but as samwise said it may get wose with molting.

Hmm how often are the malts and at which age does its final colour settle? It looks grey mostly I dont IRN is an awesome bird

Age wise is what I was told by the breeder and your guess may be as good as his cause I always had a gut feeling he/she was older , so your guess is as good as mine

i think he is atleast 8 - 10 weeks old to have that many feathers. i got my first one he was 8 weeks old and looked in similar plumage. Mine had brilliant dark blue spots on his tail and wing feathers when they first grew, but since he has molted they nevr came back, and he is just a light blue colour all over now. But he's a little champion!!! keeps me smiling all the time.
