Just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a standard blue ring neck or is he split to something? I bought this and was told he was a blue. I don't know much about ringneck colours but it looks different to my other blue ringnecks  Hoping someone can reply soon.... |

Ringnecks are not visually split so if it was split for something, it would not affect the colour of the bird.
That is a normal Blue

Hello honeyandthebee, Jeremy is right about it being normal blue, and a very nice one too. I have changed your post so the picture shows up in your post.

Must admit I am confused here. Here is a pic which I hope I am allowed to post of a normal blue which look like the 4 blues I have myself & mine all look like the pic but the one posted by honeyandthebees looks quite a bit different & appears to have a green wash through the wings. Are their different variations of Blues in ringnecks  . One confused Anna  |

The lighting can play a big factor when taking photos of birds. Honeyandthebees 'Blue' Ringneck may very well be a poorly marked Pastelblue but i think it is just the lighting playing tricks on us. I still think it is a normal Blue

. Yeah I know that a split can not be seen visually but i thought it might of been something odd, as he doesn't look like any of my other blues.. He's a very pretty boy  Thanks Guys |

He looks like my ringneck that was split to lutino, in comparison to my normal blue cock, the blue split to lutino had a more irredescent lighter blue head that looks like the first photo you posted. I guess you'll have to wait till it breeds to know for sure.

I would be more inclined to think that there is a cinnamon wash thru its wings!  Frank |

are the cock birds flight feathers dark in colour or a washed out colour, in my opinion there is a slight difference in the body colour from a normal blue and a fallow blue. so i think you have a fallow blue.. could be wrong though
cheers

It is so hard to tell from a photo as the blues really take on an aqua colour. I guess its the flash reflecting of the structure of the feathers or something. Here is a picture of my blue cock. He looks gorgeous in the photo (in my opinion) but I'm afraid he is only blue in real life  |
