Indian ringneck hissing noise

[Tfreeman]

Hello everyone
i wonder if someone can help me. My IRN who is now almost 18 months old has started showing signs of a ring, so i can finally announce that little Sky is a boy.
however today i have noticed that he is making a strange hissing noise, not just but his voice is also coming out in the hiss as well.
(he does talk rather well)

is this something to be concerned about? other than this he has always been very healthy

Kind regards
Tracey

If this is a new respiratory noise and not an intentional mimic, then yes you need to get him to the vet asap.

I Googled the subject and didn't find hissing associated with ringnecks... yeah, vet-time, I do believe...
Good luck!

I share my life with 19 IRNs, none of them hiss. The only reason I wouldn't be rushing to the vet is if it is a learned sound, as in is he mimicking a hissing sound that he hears frequently around your house.

Remember, if it's an imitated sound it could be almost from anything! My JoJo imitates our kurig!
