Why don't you buy both of them? I mean, it's your decision of course, but I promise you, two birds are more than twice as much fun as one! AND they entertain each other when you're a bit busy. Just sayin'... :)

I'd love to buy both, but we can't afford to buy both of them sadly.
The breeder is charging quite a lot for these birds.

I might be buying another in a couple of months though. ;)

Congrats on your new baby! I bet you can't wait:D I'll be curious if "he" is in fact a he... Something tells me though that "Skyler' is a male:)

I'll let you know if he turns out to be male or not. :)

2 Indian Ringnecks, Tiki (DH's) and Pippin (mine), 1 lovebird, Gemma (DD's) and 1 in birdy Heaven... RIP, Wilbur.
Another way is a female ( sometimes) will generally drop down and squat some before pooping, males will slightly, though mostly not noticeable, lift a leg just before pooping.... however it's not a guarantee. But usually after even having them sexed, you'll witness the same thing.

Pippin has been sexed and is a boy, and he has always done the "drop and squat" before pooping.

Can anyone tell me if either of these Ringnecks look like a male?
Thanks.

The males also tend to 'miss the bowl' and hit a toy instead:54: (sorry, I couldn't help myself:09:).

Hmmm seems to be a characteristic then of all animals worldwide... :09:

Guess moving the toys to a safer location might be prudent then...huh ? ? ?
