There is a male/female pair of IRNs available at a rescue near me. I’m really interested in getting them, and was asking around if they would be easily tamed. A few people said no, but one person suggested I take them in, give them a nice home, breed them, and take one of the babies as my pet to be tame and friendly. This appeals to me because I am rescuing the birds and giving them a nice home, but also getting a pet ringneck out of this. Does this seem like the right thing to do?
I know there are many challenges of breeding and I definitely need to learn a lot before attempting it. I plan on learning from another IRN breeder about hand feeding (in person), etc. It will be 3-6 months or maybe more until I buy these birds and then probably a while to breeding season (not sure when it is but I’m guessing spring? I’m in Canada).
Also if I do go through with this, wondering what colours would come out of these birds. The male is solid grey and female picture (her head is a different colour from her body) is attached. No idea about their parents.
Here is the description on the rescue website:
Here's what we know:
These two were paired up in the place where they came from. They were from an estate we took in a bunch of birds from summer 2017. The female is a mixture between a yellow and blue indian ringneck and the grey is a solid grey.
They are wild birds who were set to be bred in their previous home. We do not know if they ever had babies in the past.
