indian ringneck

Hi all! I really need some advice on my Indian ringneck Kinzo. I've had him for around 6-7 months and he is still terrified of me. I have tried everything that I've thought would work to make him more comfortable with me and my family being around him. He's scared of all of us, the minute I...

Hello! I recently purchased my first Indian Ringneck about 2 weeks ago. The breeder said that he/she (no idea of the gender currently) was hand reared and is about 13 weeks. When I got him home I opened the cage door and allowed him to move into his new big boy cage, the one he was kept in by...

Not sure if anyone remembers but few weeks ago I had posted about my IRN Kulfi who has psittacosis. She was on meds for a long time and though the issue did get resolved, the conjunctivitis that came with it ended up getting worse. There was pus alongside her beak and maybe under her right eye...

Hello. I’m a new member. I’ve had birds for 4 years going 5 years now. I currently have a a pair of ringnecks and a cockatiel. My cockatiel is 3 years old and my ringnecks are 1.5 years old. My female IRN has always been more sensitive and she developed conjunctivitis (treated for) and now has...

I decided to join this forum because I thought it would be great to read other peoples experiences owning an Indian Ringneck. I am not planning on getting one until next year, if I do still think the IRN is the right bird for myself and my family. I am almost 23, married stable job and have a...

Hello! Yesterday I’ve noticed that my baby Zazu (IRN) has some bald spots above his nostrils. Today the bald area appears to be larger than yesterday. At first I thought it’s because of him hanging on the cage bars a lot and kinda chewing on them (i upgraded him to a bigger cage, yet he still...

Hello everyone! I own a 3 month old IRN baby and I have to admit I spoiled him a lot. I got him right before the Corona thing started, so I was able to spend a lot of time with hime, maybe too much. He ended up eating and being weaned outside of the cage and usually only goes to his cage to...

this might be a little long, but i’m going to try and make it as thorough as possible. just two days ago i purchased a 4 week old indian ringneck from a reputable breeder in my area. i know many advise against getting parrots this young, and for very good reason, but i’ve had much past...

Hello all, I'm brand new to this site..just signed up yesterday. I was hoping some of you could give me some insight on my situation. So alittle back story I grew up around birds. My mother raised cockatiels and love birds (so I'm use to bird bites ;)). I even had a conure that was a nasty...

Hello! I am new here and I thought this would be good place to ask for advice. A little bit of a background at first. A couple of months ago, my mom told me that there was a ringneck at her work; (she works as a nanny) the parents had bought the parrot as a birthday present for their kid but...

Sunny is my first bird and she has displayed this behaviour for over three years, the entire time I've had her since she was weaned. I used to think it was normal, but the more I interact with other birds, the more I find out that it isn't? She tends to do it more when she's not occupied, such...

Hello!! My name is Alex; I'm 26 years old and from Wales. I only have one bird; a nearly four year old female Indian Ringneck named Sunny! Here she is:

I have an approximately 5yo IRN named angel. I’ve had him for about four years and I’m his third home. His first home was a breeder and his second home couldn’t keep him after several months due to a disabled child. I say this because I don’t know if this is partly why he is so attached to me...

Hello! It's been a short while since I've been on here. So I am hopefully getting my first hand reared baby ringneck next year. I have been constantly researching about everything to do with ringnecks! I met one in person the other day in a pet shop near where I live. I got really close to the...

Hello, I just purchased a baby Indian Ringneck a couple days ago. I don't know the gender and haven't named it yet. It's about 8 months old and wasn't handled much at the store I got it from. It gets really scared if I stick my hand in the cage and runs away. I tried taking it out of the cage a...

Hi! I've had my Montu for about 8/9 months now, making Montu about a year and a half now. I love her to pieces, but I'm very sure she doesn't like me very much. She flies from me, bites, and screams whenever I get too close. Anytime I come close she pulls away. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

Hello again! So I have a plan to put my IRN in a room upstairs with my bearded dragon. I spend a lot of time in that room so no need to worry about me not socialising with the parrot. The only reason it won't be in the main living space is because my boyfriend records music and wants to still...

Hello, how can you tell the difference between a flock call and a call for attention? I read that you should call back to a flock call by saying 'I'm here' in a normal voice but you shouldn't respond to calls just for your attention. So if this is true, how can you tell the difference? Are there...

Hello, so I have been reading about sprouting seeds and how good they are for your bird especially during breeding season. I was just wondering how many should be fed in a normal week and how many should be fed when it is breeding season (I don't have my IRN yet just doing some research and I...
