Indian Ringnecks

Indian ringnecks are one of the most popular birds represented in parrot collections. They are proved to be hardy and reliable breeders.

The normal Green ringneck is 42cm (16.5 in.) long.

They are very hard to sex under three years of age unless they are surgically or D.N.A. sexed.
The males get a pink and black ring around the neck and display to their female by stretching and bowing and dilating the eyes. Only males display.
The female remains completely green showing just a hint of where the ring should be. adult plumage is attained at three years.

Breeding

They should be housed as single pairs and in open flights with about 1/4 covered. The flights should be about 12-14 feet long.
Hollow logs which are hung vertically are used for nesting and they have about 1/3 filled with moist untreated wood shavings.
Four eggs is the normal clutch, and incubation takes 21-24 days. The young spend 7 weeks in the nest.
On fledging the young are often as big in the body as their parents they just have a shorter tail. But within a couple of months it is hard to distinguish them from the female.
