    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

can someone tell me if there is a way to tell if it is a male or female?and if it is illegal to have as a pet? please help me by answering my questions if that is possible
 
The post on the legality of selling ringnecks was dealing with California laws. I know that Florida has different laws regarding collecting / selling native species.

Sometimes you can make a best guess as to sex by looking at the tail length and shape, males have longer less tapered tails. The only surefire way to sex that I'm aware of is to probe, but you'd definitely want to have someone experienced do it.
