I brought 4 ringneck a pair and their to baby's so i have been told. The father is green and mother is blue and the baby's 1 grey and 1 olive green dose this mean the parents are split to something else? or dose it mean the baby's are from other birds?

the father must not be a normal green he must be a grey-green/blue to produce a grey baby when bred to a blue hen he should look like the olive baby , olive with grey in the tail and flight feathers if not the babies are not his as grey is a dominate gene and no bird can be split for grey so 1 of the birds has to show the grey gene
