hi, welcome, and pics

 

[amber26]

this is bonnie in the nest box

this is clyde telling me he don't want me in his shed lol don't know if theres an eggs yet early days

nice ringnecks especially the hen bird
did you know they live wild in and around london in a flock numbering over a thousand at the moment DEFRA is considering a cull due to the threat they pose to crops and fruit production plus they oust our native birds from nest holes in order to start their own brood
good luck and regards scot

oh when they feather up can you post pics so we can see what mutations you get from a blue hen and green cock should be interesting and dont worry they will most probs go down again next winter my ringnecks used to and my lovebirds still try as well haha

What type of mutation is your male?

I have a common green 3yr old IRN who lives in my living room lol. Noisy little #29### Thought about getting another one at one point but the one i have at the minute is a hand full

 

[chesterscot]

sorry just have to ask how big is the box shes using

My male is classed has a turquoise grey with my pair i could get all sorts of colors like albino and lutino

Thanks chesterscot yes i know about them living wild we live in the uk i am not quite sure how big the box is i darent go in there to measure it they have a right go at me lol

 

[chesterscot]

if you have eggs the female will be hesitant to leave the box and will be fed by the male (usually lol)
its a fair bet if you have seen them mating 2-3 days later the first egg should appear
