Sexing Indian Ringneck Parakeets
Friday September 19, 2008
Indian Ringneck Parakeets are dimorphic, meaning that you can tell the sex of mature birds through the markings on their feathers. If you have a young Indian Ringneck, however, it is difficult to tell the sex of the bird without DNA testing.
For some insight into sexing birds without DNA testing, check out Sexing Your Indian Ringneck Parrot, an informative article written by a breeder with many years of experience raising Ringnecks. It will offer a few tips and tricks that you can use to make an educated guess about your bird's gender. They aren't always 100 percent accurate, of course, but they may help you deduce your bird's sex if you are dying to know!

i know i have a male ringneck. he is beautiful. i gave him to my mom with a female one. i never trim their wings because i have dogs. they are all good to them ignore them and know they are part of the pack however i regret it because they lived outside (fla) in my pool lani and the female was found dead in my pool. when they were together the female was extremely over protective and mean to people but he always wanted contact. he adored my mom and allowed her to handle him when ever he could get away from the female but NO ONE ELSE could even touch him. my mom past away and i took them in. now he is the same way with me and God for bit if anyone trys to handle him. he attacks them. i am the ONLY one that can. any advise?
