I have a question..My indian ringneck is blue and just a few weeks ago he started to have some red on one wing. I was not expecting this. Is this normal?? He is just under a year old. His birthday is April 4.

Welcome and greetings! Please do stay and perch awhile. Ask questions...we never tire of them. Post pics if you can!

(Hrm...I seem to be a welcome wagon here don't I?)

well, I'd check to see if it was bood or food.

If he does develop red in this area he could be an alexandrine Hybrid

This may sound silly...but what exactly does it mean that he's a hybrid

One parent Alexandrine, the other ringneck. Sorry Neo, just putting my bit in.

Yuppers..

Hybrids is a bit of a controvercial topic. There are purists who get very upset when people breed hybrids. Generally people dont want Hybrids.

so how will the temperement be wiyh a bird who is hybrid alexandrine and irn, and wots the difference anyway??? natalie xxx

I think each bird is different as far as temprement goes.
Alexandrines are bigger birds and they have the red on the wings and a different head and beak shape. They look very similar but are a not-so-far-removed species.

hybrids are when any two different species of animal copulate and have offspring

tiger x lion = liger
horse x donkey = mule
white bass x striped bass=whiper

iv got a shamrock macaw wich is a scarlet x a blue & gold he is a hybrid

a ringneck hybrid sounds cool looking like a regular irn with some red on the shoulder?

Someone elses baby had that same red spot and it washed away... Im getting to the bottom of this.

I cant remember who it was but I think it was a regular. *thinks so hard her head starts to hurt*

Ok, I found the link to the thread conserning the stain.
