The female ringneck tends to have a stockier build and thicker feet than the male, though his tail is slightly longer. If your parrot's head looks more square in shape and the colors around his cheeks are bright, he's more likely to be a male. Her beak isn't as pronounced as his, and her face is more rounded. Your parrot's behavior may betray his -- or her -- gender; put your ringneck in front of a mirror and watch for a reaction. The male will take a bow, after opening his wings to a heart-shape, and his pupils will shrink in size as he puts on this show. The lady ringneck usually clucks and tilts her head back.
How do you do a DNA test on a bird?
You can collect a DNA sample by clipping the bird's toenail (sample is collected onto a blood card), or you can pluck feathers from the bird's breast. We'll send you a complimentary DNA-collection kit of your choice when you order your test, or you can make your own DIY kit: Click for DIY instructions.
