What you are seeing is babies ready for sale who were born a few months earlier. Breeding season in the Houston Area Starts in late December and goes to the end of June. Their s a guy up there who breeds ringnecks that I am told uses artificial lighting to trick his birds into a second breedings season each year, but I have not ever spoken to him, so I cant tell you if it works.

Yeah, i don't know if artificial lighting works. All the years I've been on the forum I've not seen it. This does not mean it exists, but i have not seen it.

I would say the babies are from a few months back.
