indian ringneck

Hello I am trying to get some help with people that have more experience with these types of birds. I have a 5-7 week old Indian Ringneck. I got it about 2 weeks ago. It was growing really nicely and was climbing his cage, which then we upgraded him to a bigger cage, so he could have more...

hello! So my story began when I wanted to buy my mom a bird using my first job salary! She always dreamt of owning a bird and taking care of it so I figured I'd get one for our house. I went to get maybe a budgie, but ended up falling in love with the most kindhearted and polite IRP! The owner...

Hi everyone, I'm new here, and am a new bird owner, Eli has only been with me for 2 weeks now and is 11 weeks of age. He's starting to come out of his shell a bit more now, and is starting to explore around 🙂 now my question is, do you guys think his head will go white, blue or stay a...

My baby Eli, 11 weeks old

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum and also a new Indian Ringneck Mom. Kiwi is about 18 months old and we are getting to know each other very slowly. He has not been socialized at all and is very nervous. He doesn’t show any aggression just the avoidance and startled fluttering in his cage. My...

Hello all, I got myself a IRN last friday. We are together for six days know. He or she is not afraid of me or other people, the bird is very calm, relax i think. When i get home from and enter the room it looks excited, runs in cage and wants to come out. I am freely handling it and feed it...

Goodmorning everyone, I have an IndianRingneck 9 months old. Before a week we moved for 3 days on countryside for Easter celebration. The bird was scared and stressed as it is his first move outside of the house. He are less and generally was a bit stressed. After we get back home (4 days) he...

Hi! Despite the title this isn’t a normal what’s-the-gender question, it’s kind of odd. For context, in December of 2020 I got a 2 month old IRN, named Ren. When we got Ren, his breeder told us he had already done a DNA test and that he was a male. I had already done my own research and...

Greetings everyone, I joined this forum as I am currently looking for a lutino or blue Alexandrine parrot, or a violet/nicely colored Indian Ringneck that is preferably young (~7 months old). I have just lost my baby boy Twilight after 15 years since he was a baby to a hawk who just snatched him...

I recently got a 3 month old indian ringneck, but something that’s been concerning me is that the feathers around his crop are considerably darker. I’ve searched the internet looking for anyone who’s experienced something similar, but I’ve found nothing. I’ve been feeding him a varied diet...

Heya! Man, it's been a while since I've posted on the forums here, but I've poked my head in now and then over the years to read up on other posts. A handful of you may remember me as my late Sun Conure, Chicken's owner -- I am now a very proud caretaker of a little sassy Green Cheek, Bongo...

Hi all! I got my Baby Blue almost 2 years ago. She is a rehomed parrot, and the original owner didn't even give her a name. She used to be such a quiet and scared bird, but I feel like she's opened up a lot. There's a lot of good about her! But, there are still a lot of things I want to...

Hello! I'm new to this forum. I have a 7 month old untamed Indian Ringneck, Everyday I always talk to it and sit beside the cage but it always sits in the corner of the cage and sometimes screams. I also try to give it fruit through the cage but gets scared and corners itself. I once tried to...

I got 2 Indian Ringnecks from a family member recently (1 month and a half) and since i got them, they have been abnormally quiet. I know this might sound weird coming from someone on this site but im really not a bird person, they belong to my sister, so im generally too scared to play with...

hey everyone! I need help please, due to strict lockdowns in Australia vets around me aren't taking in any consultations so I thought id ask here. my Indian ringneck for the past couple of months has been obsessed with his reflection, he will find it anywhere, tv, phone, table...

Hello dear bird owners, I've recently bought a 4 month old sweet Indian Ringneck 6 days ago, which the ex owner thinks is a male. He's super sweet, not aggressive and has been hand fed and domesticated. He has been eating and drinking fine, does his beak grinding before sleeping, chirps a few...

My new 4 month old Indian Ringneck is extremely timid. We are being slow and going his pace. If you approach him in or out of his cage you get one of two reactions, 1 is heavy breathing (think watching a horror movie heavy breathing) but puts up with your presence. And 2 is walking or flying...

Hi! I have a 4 month old Indian ringneck parakeet named Rhino. We've only had him a few days. When he's flown about he doesn't land anywhere. He flies until he lands on the ground. I'm worried it's because eof his feet. He has a deformed foot. He can climb in his cage get himself balanced o...

Hey! I have two baby IRN's who are a month old. So I know I'm not supposed to give them a shower but at what age exactly can I give them a shower because they're starting to stink and their feathers are starting to have a weird texture to them. Also, there's no proper info about it anywhere :(...
