Please help identify the species of my ringneck.

Gokha · Apr 9, 2020

Hello, I own a ringneck that is around 8 weeks old, started flying recently and on my way to wean it.
I got her/him when the baby was around 3-4 weeks old and i thought it was an IRN. But now, looking at my bird and other IRNs, i see differences in beak color (it’s not red), size of feet and size of the body in general.

Please help me if you can identify the species. Is it just an underdeveloped beak (it should’ve been red by now)? Or is it a hybrid? Or?

I'm not an expert with Ringnecks, so this a just a soft bump so that your Thread gets seen by one of our Ringneck members.

Plumage , body size and head to body ratio wise it looks like a typical IRN. May be just the beak is pale. African ringneck are a different shade of green -more olive yellowish.

Please help identify the species of my ringneck.
