How old was your male ringneck when he began showing his rings? Just wondering when I should expect to see this is my little guy.

Hmmm.. I'm not sure. I know females have a faint ring but nothing defined... time will tell I suppose, if it stays the same or comes in darker. DNA is the fastest method of determining gender.
