Im not saying it isn't a African ringneck lol I know 100% its a African ringneck its not hard at all to tell what species of parrot it is if you know your species.I meant do some research on diet and such.

I'm not especially familiar with ringnecks but all of the African ring necks I saw in Africa had red beaks. I don't think black beaks are common on ringnecks.

They are supposed to have a little red but its mostly black and some have a fully red beak idk why maybe its the way they are being bred.

I am sure that there are heaps of diferent mutations, and if you google african ringneck, some of the pictures are pretty similar.
