Thats great! I put a nest box in for my Alexs months ago and they have not so much as step foot inside! lol

well Im sure they will come around any time soon. do you know what colors can come of a green-male and lutino female ringneck.

If I could find my book I could tell you!

Ok I am going to have another look....

Found it!

Ok, it was as I suspected - the same as Alexandrines.

With a green cock and a lutino hen you would get 50% chance green hens and 50% chance green cocks which are split for lutino, which mean the males would carry a split gene meaning they could (possibly) produce lutino babies.

My Alex boy is split for lutino, so we are hoping that he will produce a lutino Alex!

ok thanks you know. Just real quick the man we purchased them from said they produced blues and he showed us one when he bought them do you know if the male or female is split? thanks. i think the male is split because he has like bluish feathers on his tail.
