How old are ringnecks before the ring starts to show?

[Mom's Animal Preserve]

I have a baby blue IRN that is about 15 months old. No ring yet, so I suspect she is a female. Am I jumping the gun? How old are they usually before the black ring starts to show?

I think I read somewhere on here that it is around 18 months, I have a long time to wait until I know as Munchkin is only 18 weeks

I had Magellan for two years (not sure how old he was when I adopted him from the animal shelter) before he got his ring--but it was well worth the wait .

I really don't know, but Helio is DNA'd male, and he's only 8 months old & I can already see it, just not as black & white.

See?:

AWWWWW...so cute! My girl will not get a ring (of course) but I was told that the albino's don't get rings anyway.

Mine was almost 3!
