:omg: my breeder FINALLY sent me pics of my baby Indian Ringneck, hatched March 19th 2010. The pictures are adorable, and SUPER cute even though she watermarked them :( but my baby is SOO adorable. We are waiting to name him/her until the DNA results are back in the next week or two.

The only question I have is that she told me around the hatch date that she/he would be green, but the feathers appear to be blue to me???? Is is trickery of the eye, or do they change colour as they come in??? Or could she have been wrong? I dont mind either way, I just wondered.






I AM IN LOVE :heart:

He is so cute! I agree with you. He looks BLUE! I don't know much about IRNs, so I'm not sure if they change color.

yay! how sweet! I'm so glad you finally got pictures :) You must be so excited. He/she is very cute! It definitley looks Green to me, or at least greenish with blue/yellow mixed in. I think the Greens have various colors in their feathers anyway (so pretty!).

I'm no expert, but when I went to my breeder, the ringnecks all had a blueish/grey tone to their skin/pins at about that age and I thought they were all green. However, if you look carefully towards the end of the pin feathers, you will see little sprouts of colored feathers.

It reminds me of a blooming flower and upon closer inspection, I saw mine was blue, especially as she matured. I was't convinced until she had a lot of pins and feathers growing in though haha. Don't take my word on this....but I believe the breeder said their head is the most accurate way to tell what color the bird will be.

Also...my breeder had a turquoise baby that looked like it would remain turquoise, but it ended up turning more blue. I can't remember if this was at a first molt or just when baby was getting feathers in. I'll have to ask her!

Congrats on your baby! Are you waiting for the DNA results? Do you have any names picked out yet?

Maybe it is green, but it is a WAY different shade of green than these green IRNs.

Thanks everyone, I think s/he is cute also!

Carlie, s/he comes home early June, hatched just this march! And I had to twist her arm to get those pics as he's barely left mom and dad.

Aleu, I agree, after looking at the pic in natural light I do see a little green tinge in there! LOL You might just be right :)
We did have the baby DNA tested though the results apparently dont come back until next week sometime as she sent them off late.
But we are hoping for a boy, although a girl will do just fine. I just really like the striking look of the ring.
We have tossed some names around, havent decided till we know the sex though.
If its a girl we'll name her Prudence guaranteed. If its a boy we cant decide on Pagan, Poe or Rigby. Hahaha!
