hello ;D
I stumbled accross this site by accident and thought i would pop in and say g'day.
I have been breeding budgies for the past 5 years and have had a pair of ringnecks for the past 6 months who are sitting on their first clutch as i type..I can't wait to see what I get. Jemima is pastle blue and Ringo is blue/grey.
I am also currently hand raising 3 baby ringnecks because a friend had the mother get out and the babies were still in the nest. They are all green boys and are about 5 weeks old now.
can anyone tell me how old ringnecks usually are when they start weaning? I ahev raised budgies brofre but never anything else so im on a bit of a learning curve at the moment!
any help greatly apprieciated

Hi, welcome to Aussiebirds. I also have know idea about raising ringnecks. I've only had experience handraising cockateils and pigeons and occasionally some orthan native birds.
I would love to see some pics of your birds!

I think my ringneck that I got about 5 years ago, was about 8 weeks old and had just been weaned according to the breeder I got it from.
Welcome to the forum too and we hope to see and hear more about you and your birdies too ;D

Hi and welcome to Aussie Birds. To post pics get an account at www.photobucket.com upload the pics you want, copy the img code then paste into your post here. Trace, if you can't read the text cos of colour just highlight it, makes it so much easier. |
