His ring is a metal silver ring.

So strange cos I thought they got their white iris ring at about 8 months but he doesn't seem to have it yet. I think it would be late for Barney, but it's interesting how they seem to vary. The Gwenlings' irises were starting to lighten at around the 4-5 month mark.

If he was a split recessive then wouldn't he have some signs of recessive pied though? As blueelephant said, his ring is silver. I don't know what the numbers are as I have not been able to get close enough to look yet But yes recessive pied, albino, lutino and dark eyed clear don't get an iris ring. Max is a recessive pied. I cannot quite remember what Daisy is but she has no iris ring either.

Yesterday when we went out (it's the summer holiday's and Eve is off for 6 weeks - gasp!) we left water and seed on the floor just in case Peter ended up down there. Good job we did, as when we got back both Peter and George were on the floor. On other news, Barney stayed in the vision with 5 friends last night. I wasn't sure it was the right thing to do, but he wanted to be in there so much. They were all fine though and well behaved

I'm out most of today so I have left the ladder out for Hector, in case he doesn't feel like flying back into the cage. He's on the floor already. The birbs will sort out leaving seeds, veggies & water on the floor all by themselves

Your birds are so helpful.
I must see if I have a long ladder that I can put out.

He's a cheeky little monkey.
I think he just wants to make a friend. I did see him feed Dinku yesterday and when Iris came over to see what was going on, he chased her off.

Barney is brave. Or he doesn't know any better yet!

I just zoomed in to this pic of Barney and hasn’t he got an Iris starting?? Also the silver ring possible probably won’t help as pet shops buy birds from warehouse type of places who put the rings on, so they don’t mean much…. Can anyone else see the Iris?

He does have an iris ring yes, but it's still not as light a colour as I would have expected if he was a year old or more.

Of course it could be the terrible light levels in my living room. I think I need a brighter bulb!!
