Hello everyone, I thought I would put some pics up of my child to see if any of you experts could have a guess on male or female. Karma is just over 7 months old and been hand raised by me from 3 weeks. This bird thinks its a person, I'm sure lots of you are know what its like. I havnt done the DNA test yet, I feel bad pulling out feathers
Iv read the sexing article but I really don't know birds well enough to make a guess that I trust. Any help would be great

Hi Reece nice IRN,

Its a boy.

Thanks Glenn

What a beautiful Ring Neck, I am new to Ring Necks, I have two of them. I have read that males do not get the rings around their necks until after 2 years of age. You should get a dna test. I do my own dna test and I cut the nail just a little short to use two drops of blood on the sample card.
My ring necks did not seem to mind.

he's such a beautiful bird!!!
it would be like pulling a hair but less painful (as they do moult! so it must be right?)
he's so lovely... good luck with him!

Thanks, hes a great bird. I will probably end up getting the dna test I just figured Id post on here first so what people say. I wanted a male but it was more important to me that I get one young enough to bond to me and become totally comfortable around people. Non were sexed at that age.
Glen, how come you say male?
cheers

Hi judging by its head and front body,
Also i think he is closer to 1 year then to 7 months.

Thanks Glenn

He is definitely seven months, Iv had him since a baby and know his birthday.
I hope you're right thanks.
