Are you Handrearing this Baby ?? It looks Younger than 8 Weeks Old! You cannot tell the Sex of an IRN until they are at least 18 Months Old! The Male has a Ring round its Neck . The Female does not have this!

The only way to accurately sex an IRN at that age is via DNA testing. Avian biotech is a great company, blood testing is about twenty dollars and feather testing is about twenty five. Or you can have it done by your avian vet if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.

Also, there is no way that bird is 2 months old, at one month they are usually almost completely feathered, that baby must be between 3 and 5 weeks old and is probably taking at least 3-4 hand feedings a day. Are you knowledgeable on how to hand feed and care for a baby parrot?

At the moment I wouldn't worry whether it's a male or female... I'd just make sure the bird gets the best care possible, which includes hand feeding, socia-lising and raised into the best bird possible...

We are getting a 5 month old male indian ringneck on tuesday but just from looking at this picture there is no way on earth that bird is 2 months old it only looks about 3 to 4 weeks 5 at the most and may i ask where you got this bird from did you breed it yourself or did you buy from a breeder if you got it from a breeder he should never have let it go at such a young age i really hope you know how to hand feed and rear birds as they are hard to care for when so young just as this one

What? Me too! Lol, now I'm confused... But on the topic of the actual forum, this baby is, like already said, no way two months old. And may I ask, why so urgent?! With a baby that young I woud care more about its health than its gender...
