My husband found a lost ringneck and the owner has not been found so we will be keeping the bird and have named it Indie. We are unsure if the bird is male or female or how old the bird may be? The bird is well tamed and very friendly and can play and say "peek-a-boo", "step up", "gimme kiss" and "good boy". I am guessing it may be a boy if the past owner taught it to say "good boy" but I wanted some opinions of fellow parrot owners.
Also we have another ringneck named Bluey who is a more vibrant violet/blue colour who is just starting to develop a slight black ring so we are assuming it may be a boy i think she is about 18 months now? and the ringneck we saved is around the same size of Bluey however it's body is a bit more stocky, it has no ring, its feet are thicker and slightly darker in colour and its beak looks thicker and sort of wider as well. Also I did have a ringneck in the past with these same traits which was a young male.
Also Bluey has a higher-pitched voice whereas the bird we saved has more of a calm voice which is more pleasant to listen to.
I'm aware that to find out the sex you need to DNA for accuracy but I don't want to put this bird through anymore trauma and lose our trust. I have attached an image of Indie the bird we saved and i have also attached an image of Bluey as i want some opinions on whether bluey may be a boy or girl as well
. The image of Bluey is the bird sitting on the white perch and the other image isof Indie. Also i have attached a photo of them together so you can see the sizes of them together. Let me know what you guys think and if you can tell maybe how old Indie could be? Thanks!
