Question Charcoal grey IRN

Hi. I found a "charcoal grey" IRN on the internet. I looked this up and couldn't find any IRN called a charcoal grey. She looks blue with grey blue wings. Omg, so cute. I was wondering if maybe there was another name for it. It kind of looks like a blue mixed with grey. It is weaned all the way, ten months old, tame and very sweet. He said all the boys go crazy for her and she shows of.... LOL.... But, tell me what you think. ps, it is listed as $225. Thanks, jagsson22

For grey ringneck that is a good price...ummm wait is that american dollars?
I forget that you might be talking about Canadian or something else...
In American Dollars it is a good buy!
I think I paid 5 or 6 hundred for mine.
The greys can look as if they have some blue to them since they are considered a blue series bird.
Do you have a pic of her?

Does she look similar to this?

Kiss as a baby


With his ring.

Looks pretty good, but at a price like that, you REALLY want to make sure it's hand tame! That seems a bit too cheap for an IRN, so it's something you need to be careful about.

The pic is not the best to be able to really tell what color it is so I am thinking either grey or blue.
When Kiss was younger he had a bluish tinge to his feathers as well and still does in certain lighting.
The wings looks a little messed up but that could be because of anything so no judging on that.
best thing is to see it in person if you can.

Sometimes if people are trying to get rid of babies due to other birds coming in or for whatever reason they might be cheaper. My turquoise was only 150 so ......

There was a baby grey IRN at the store I go to a couple of months back. Everyone kept looking at his bright yellow sibling but if I were going to get one I knew right then and there I would want the grey. I think I am partial to grey birds though.
