White ringneck parrot developing ring?

Post by Mariah »

Hi, I was wondering about my white indian ringneck parrot, her name is coconut (yes, i know, very original lol) and i'm pretty sure she's developing a ring! It's an offwhite, sort of grayish colour. I've searched the net over and over and everyone seems to be telling me that it's impossible and that white ringnecks are void of rings, but it's pretty prominant. Also I'm not entirely sure if she IS infact a girl, (if that has something to do with it) i'm going off the fact that when I bought her the man told me that his pair ALWAYS makes white girls and blue boys. Can you pls help? I'm wondering now that maybe she is fighting with my other ringneck (Yellow - named custard :) lol) because they're both male???

Thanks,
Mariah.

Hi there.

If its albino then wether its male they will never show a ring. but they do show a shaded line where the ring would be but its not a ring but the patern of the feathers.

The other possiblity if it is a ring coming through is the bird is grey blue pallidino lightns the bird depending on how many generations of dilute(which isnt the same as the dilute gene)

Show a picture of the birds ring.

Thanks Glenn
