hello i am about to buy a indina ringneck.
the guy told me he was 3 months old but it looks closer to a year or 9 months.
i cannot provice a picture but i can describe it for you.

its beak is not fully orange still pink.
its feathers look fully feathered with no little fluffs
its tail is realy long but has a single tail feather
its feet are still white.
and there is no ring...

with all that i am looking for a young bird so i can raise him myself. the bird is friendly so maybe it is past its bluffing stage but i still cannot tell how old it is..and the guy told me he was 3 months which is hard to belive because its feathers look fully feather...he might be saying its a young bird because they live so long but i want a young bird so i can raise him myself from young.:green2:

hey im not getting from a dealer or a petshop its from another person who bought ti for himself but doesnt want ti anymore but apparently he got ti from a pet shop..but he has no papers so its iffy...but the tail feathers are long so im guessing its over 3 months...
 
I have no Idea but the ring only comes i he his a boy if he/she doesn't get a ring she is a girl but by your description im guessing he is an adult/teenager but i really don't know:/
 
If he's only got one tail feather, he's either moulting or they have been broken off...

I find the colour of the beak on my Alexandrine varies, depending of his level of activity and excitement.

No ring means its either a female or an immature male.
