| If i get a female what color shoud I get? |
 |
|
I don't know that I want to breed my indians but IF I decide to what color should I get for either Casper who is the albino and Bella ( name changed to Bello) who is my blue? IF I decide to get a female could they still all three live together or should I get 2 females? IF I decide to have 4 could they all live together? Just wondering but I prouably won't do anything cause I have enough going on now  AND IF I had babies born I know I would want to hand raise them and FOR SURE I don't have time for that! Maybe I'll just stick to Casper and Bello and if anything ever happens to one of them then I will worry about getting a female  This bird stuff is confusing  What ga think Greg Dana |

Hi Dana,Indian ringnecks require a cage size of 3 metres long when they breed for the female can be feral towards the male if she has a fight with him/doesn't like him.But in your case if they get along together than it okay.Introducing another male or female is tricky for it depends on the pair..Ringnecks are
not bonded for life
when they pair.Odd breeding l call it (three)not recommended.Two pair well ,your better off with
two
3 metre(minimum size cages than one 6 metre size cage).They are very protective when they breed and you will find as tame as they are now when they breed they won't want you near them while they are breeding with young.All depends on there personality,for a friend of mine from work has a pair of Ringnecks that are hand-raised friendly then they breed and the male was flying over and trying to bite him while the where nesting.. Then when he removed the nest,they were friendly and tame again??So far he has no young for the eggs haven't hatched 2nd time round.Hand-reared or tame birds are less likely to breed with young from what l have seen.Good luck  Hows Bella nad Casper anyway,haven't seen photo's in a while,love to see how they are going |

Well Greag my avairy they are in is 6 foot wide and 12 foot long. Would that be ok in meters? Anyway I was just checking. Casper and Bello get along fine and have been raised together so I guess I will leave it at that until something happends to one of them. I sure dont want to bring something in a they start fighting. Thanks for the info.
Im sure they were happy to see me this morning cause I found a 3 foot long red rat snake in the avairy with them  . Needless the say I killed it  I don't care if they are poisonisses or not any snake around here will end up dead.  So I go out the get the hoe to kill that snake and darn if another one is looking for a way to get in.Sooooo the first one didn't die alone let's say  I have to admit I did do an "OVER KILL", I took out a lot of pent up stress on the killing of these 2 snakes. 
I have just spent so much money on my lady gouldian finches and when a snake does get in it eats everything from eggs to full grown birds 
Im sorry for the snake but I just can't have any of them around Dana |

That's good to hear about the Snakes,for one thing is nature, another is cheating nature which the snakes would have done.. You mentioned Bella and Casper raised together??Hope they aren't brother and sister if your thinking of breeding them,for Brother and sister birds are a no no if you know what l mean Also the avairy you have is a good size for one pair no worries,two pair in my opinion well it all depends on the RN's. |

No they aren't brother and sister, just raised together. If I were to breed either of them what colors would I breed them to? I saw a yellow the other day and it was so pretty, I don't know if it was male or female tho. Dana  |

Oh Dana, Those yellow RN are just so beautiful!! They have I think such a striking colour!! It would be lovely if you did end up breeding a yellow one. |

well as far as I know... as I've seen yello ones paired up to both blue and albinos in the bird shop. So I am assuming that that would be the case, otherwise, I wouldn't think the bird dealer place wouldn't sell them as a breeding pair. |

Ringnecks are know to breed with only certain colours,though if you have just the one pair and they get on nicely then there is no choice for them..he..he |

Gregggg, in case I have both males casue I don't know about Casper casue he wouldn't be getting the ring being a albinos, soooo what color would I be able to breed to either Bello or Casper. I don't want to do some color mixing that Im not suppose to. I don't plan on doing anything really unless something happens to one of the other. They are so use to each other and if they are both males they get along fine . But if one day something should happen to one of them I just want to know what color I chould get to breed with the one left. Dana |

Well with your Albino and Blue you may breed grey's.If that is the case your lucky for grey's are not only beautiful but not popular :)If Bella and Casper turn out to be a pair,then your most likely have grey's but at the same time all depend's on there parent colours to,for the gene's can jump..... Ringneck mutations are like Budgies they can end up like a forest trying to find out.he... here is a link hope it helps to get you started: [/url] http://www.bluequaker.com/Art-008.htm [url] |

I know it is an old post but if Casper is a Cock, i would get him a Pastel Blue hen.
That way you will breed
Cocks:
Blue/Albino
Pastelblue/ino
Hen:
Albino
Creamino
And i would get Bello either a Grey, Blue or Pastelblue |
