Hello,
Welcome to this board!
Females Ringnecks do not get rings around their necks at all. Males acquire their rings at about 18 months of age, some up to 2 years.
The female Ringneck looks much like a juvenile Ringneck; only difference is the eye color and beak up till a certain point.
Females are more heavily built and fleshy, while males are somewhat fleshy and smaller built.
Hope this helps,
I.C.

I would tend to disagree a little , Some female Indian Ringnecks , do get a very faint ring around their necks. The Latino female , does not get any ring , and the male Latino , gets a very pretty pinky/red ring instead of of the black of greens and such. Hope you didn't mind me adding my opinion.
But I have seen DNAed female Ringnecks with faint rings.

You’re absolutely right; females do indeed have a ring around their neck that is faint. I guess I should have worded it better.
Nope don’t mind you expressing your opinion. It was my fault; I should have clarified that up!

Thanks for pointing that out.
Best wishes,
