Life blue IRN...

[SA.Tsv]

Hi everyone!
It's Erica ) this is a 2 year old female blue Indian Ringneck ) She's from Czech Republic, but now lives in Russia in St. Petersburg) I know English a little bit, But I'll tell you a little about her...
Erica eats a lot of fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs, sprouted grains and Versele-Laga
I bought it at a pet store in 2014, she was already an adult (8-9 months). Erica no fosterling. But after a long time she became closer to us. Now Erica can sit on his shoulder and take food from the hands. At first I thought she was a male, Probably like many who live Ringneck, now she doesn't have the black ring on the neck and is not likely to appear, but I still love her :smile015
Erica is always flying all day, I don't lock her in a cage, she doesn't do damage at home ) after a while, I want to buy her an adult blue male ringneck, but it will happen in the spring or summer, now it is the only parrot in our home)

In St. Petersburg a lot of rain...

To be continued...

Hello! I do not know anything about RingNecks,But Erica is a very beautiful bird! I love BLUR..it is my favorite color!

I saw another of your posts,how is your search for the Galah Cockatoo going?? The pictures you shared were absolutely gorgeous! :07:

As far as getting another IRN, I am just curious,why?
This is just MY opinion..having another bird as "company" for Erica, might make Erica like the bird more than her human, unless Erica is already strongly bonded with you. Now this is just MY opinion here!

She's BEAUTIFUL. I love that color and honestly I prefer females over males. The ring doesn't do it for me.

Are you getting a male to breed?
If not, maybe another species of bird so you don't have mate aggression?

She is very pretty, such a rich blue color! SHe sounds like a wonderful parrot companion. Do you teach her any tricks? They are very smart animals. I have taught my Salty, an Amazon parrot, to do a lot of tricks, and he is just 1 year old. Its a lot of fun to show your friends what she will have learned. Does she talk a bit now? I would love to hear a parrot speaking Russian!

AmyMyBlueFront - I want to buy a second parrot, because Erica is bored alone. Galah I want to buy for the family. Erica also needs the friend, they will chat together)

SilverSage - thank you) She know it

Teknogeddon - I don't want baby parrots) IRN male only for friend for Erica)

wrench13 - Erica unfortunately is not talking( but she screams a lot in the morning and evening
If show language, Erica shows language in response . Repeats for us lol

OOOooo she is absolutely stunning! The ring may come yet
All birds are different and you can never be sure two will get along. That said, my Mum's Galah stayed with us for 8 months or so. My ringneck Henry was great mates with him. They used to play peek a boo, 'sneeze' at each other and chat for ages between their cages. When they were out together they were both fully flighted and closely supervised so they could get their own space if they needed to.

I want Erica and IRN male were friends, talked. Galah communicate with us)
Your Galah loves dealing with people or birds?)

The Galah, Marley was hand raised. he'd fly to his favourite people and land on their arms for talking and cuddles. My was also hand raised. But I think they enjoyed each others company too.

I fear that the Galah will communicate only with the Erica :02:

So I want to buy a Galah fosterling (eating from a syringe, fed him people)

P.s i don't know what is "forestling" in English, in Russia it's "parrot eating from a syringe", my English not good

Thank you)

 

[itchyfeet]

When we say hand reared it's the same as your fosterling The important thing there is to choose an experienced breeder who can do the feeding for you. It's very difficult and hand reared or 'fosterling' birds bond to their new humans just fine. You don't need the feeding to be that person's favourite human.

Hi everyone!
We bought another Ringneck. We named him Neo, he is now 4 years. He has a bracelet that says 12 year and country Czech Republic. They and Erica get along well and not fighting. Neo she is dancing for her, and she curved for him.
I have a few questions...
What is their color mutation ? Erica has a blue feathers, and Neo turquoise
What color they will have children?

This photo of Neo and Erica

In this photo you can see the difference in color of the feathers

Maybe I will be able to take photos with good lighting where you will see the difference...

 

[SilverSage]

Right now all I see are blue feathers. Turquoise Irns will actually have green feathers on them as well. Regular Blue IRNS can have a turquoise color, without actually being a turquoise mutation. If your bird does have a more turquoise color, there could be a different mutation at play such as DEEP.

Here are some examples of blue vs. turquoise.


Deep blue

Normal blue

Deep blue

Turquoise hen in front, blue **** in back

Violet turquoise (it's easier to see the contrast here, that entire feathers are coming in green)

Hi, are you not observing quarantine for the new birds you introduce? By not doing so you risk introducing diseases to your existing bird(s).

'a state, period, or place of isolation, ie separate room, in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed or possibly exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed'

They are lovely but this could save lives.

plumsmum2005 - We bought the parrot on the ad. We decided not to do the quarantine. They had no other birds.

SilverSage - Thank you. I do these days photos on the camera and perhaps there will be easier to see their colors. But they are a little different. I was watching about this on another website about color mutations IRN
