After an attack on my previous post and the great support of admins! Thought I'd introduce my beautiful male Indian RINGNECK! He's around 4months in age and is warming to the family wonderfully.
We have a 21 month old little boy who adores him and we asked him what he wanted to call him and his reply was 'WOODY' his favourite film is toy story .. Brilliant name [emoji7]

Welcome! What a cutie. Baby toys are great, stacking cups, keys... Make him his own toy box! Paco has a big dog bowl in his cage for a toy box, he loves digging through it for just the right toy.

Thankyou guys ! He's doing really well, becoming more familiar with us and learning to trust us, he just doesn't like it when we say 'bed time' he'd much rather just climb on the outside of his cage [emoji23][emoji23]

Gotta love the ringnecks. They are incredibly smart, so training him should go smoothly. I find that mine are very food motivated, so finding his absolute favorite treat will help in the long run. Almonds are a newly discovered favorite of mine, but any small treat will work as a reward.. Since they are smart they need to be kept busy, so foraging toys are a must. Best of luck with your little guy!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Our little boy is the apple
Of our eye and is included in everything so we decided to let him name him ! Brilliant name choice though because he can say it too so he can talk to him !

He's becoming more and more calm round us and learning to trust our hand in the cage now were making slow progress, but it's still progress
