As a current Ring Neck Ower (owned by 2) do your research before you buy. If you are in doubt don't purchase the birds.

Welcome to Bird Board. I am going to take the liberty of moving this thread to the ringneck forum. I think you will find quite a bit of advice there. We have quite a few members with ringies and your questions are welcome. They are wonderful birds -- a bit stubborn, but a real joy. I would not give up my two for love or money!

I have been lucky to have to have two healthy birds. Just regular check ups nothing serious. A normal diet of fruits n veggies and nuts, lots of play time, and toys, and they are stubborn! Noisey and loud, a bit snippy too.

i had owned many animals and birds but that time i was not knowing how to see if bird was sick or not, now i know so thinking to buy tomorrow.

look for a clean vent, good feathers, other than that visual inspection, there isn't a whole lot you can look for, if its acting funny, laboring movements or something then that would be a sign of something wrong.

I'd google dna sexing for birds, I know a lot of labs do it now days.
