Don't know what kind of advice you're looking for, but your ringnecks and plumb head are all cousins and if you're asking could they mate...yes...and they could produce viable offspring...if you're asking is their living together OK, apparently yes, because they're together now.....

If you're looking for other advice, you'll need to ask that question.....

Good luck.....

The ringnecks may be getting ready to go to nest and not like the idea of the male plumb head hanging around, even though his hen may be on eggs.....

I would watch them pretty close in case any arguments start.....you may need to cage them separately.....

Good luck.....

Ok, no eggs,
Noted a bite mark on my male plums beak and little bit of blood..( due seems ok ) He seem to like seating with ringnecks, as his female is in or near her box..
they have been in cages next to each other for 3 weeks, and now in aviary together ? Just been out in garden and they are all sat out side in aviary,
Is it just male ring neck says he's dominat male?

How big is the aviary? Members of the ringneck family can get a little aggressive, even towards each other, if there is not enough space for each pair or individual to 'claim their own'.
The male ringneck may consider the plumhead a threat or a rival, which may be why he's behaving aggressively towards him.
