FEEDING: Parrot mix is their base as in the wild. They eat seeds, weeds, buds. I use seed mix as a base, add pellets, and any fruits that come available. Apple slices are what they eat the most; also, I give them celery, oranges, corn in the cob, romaine lettuce, kale, and pomegranate.

BREEDING: Ringnecks are easy breeders, but it takes a commitment to do so. I start putting up breeding boxes by the end of December; as soon as I mount the breeding box, they start peaking in it. Be careful when introducing new males to the females as they are aggressive and even kill the male. I put both males and females in the breeding cage without a nesting box to avoid this problem. I pair them up by October, so they have plenty of time to know each other. At the end of February, they start laying. They can double clutch if you pull out the babies by two weeks to hand feed them; that way, you give the pair time to prepare for a second clutch.
