i saw a ringneck and it was called a white ringneck, not an albino if that's what you are thinking. It was white in colour but it had a lot of blue on its body as well, is this a new mutation or have i just never heard of it before  |

i have heard if them.
i think the difference between a white an a albino
is that the white has black eyes i think and the albino has red eyes. they dont get rings either of them.
i think they are pretty new the whites.
they are very nice from the pics i have seen.
i am looking at getting a pair

it was a very nice looking bird, i saw it at a produce store which keeps about a hundred birds. They were selling it for $200 i probably would have bought it but the birds there aren't exactly in the best health. There is a northern rosella with the top part of it's beak missing which is sad  |

i don't think i'll get one, i've had enough trouble trying to breed my ringnecks this year, all my pairs are 2 year old and none of them bred. I had a 3 year old blue cock with a 2 year old blue hen and the cock almost killed her because she didn't want to breed, in the end they were matingf but he wasn't even doing it right, he had one leg on her back and the other on the perch
