    Food - what and how?

    Missy is 10 weeks old, nearly finished weaning - down to one top up a day now - if that. She loves peas and corn, cooked egg ( still am thinking cannibal with this)and some seeds and fruit and she is my only bird so what do I feed her and is it something that can be frozen in batches for thawing...

    Timid ringneck, help making that first step (literally)

    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...

    My baby IRN is sleeping ALOT

    Hey! My two IRN's are about a month old now and they're developing feathers. I got them when they were 12 and 14 days old and during that time all they did was eat, poop, and sleep which was understandable. But now the thing that's concerning me is even after being a month old they're still...

    Will it ever get better with my IRN?

    Hi all! I am a proud owner of a little Indian Ringneck named Baby Blue. She is a one year old girl with an interesting past. I have been saving up time and money to invest in an indian ringneck. I didn't care about the ring or no ring-- I just knew that it was a bird for me. At least, I like to...

    Hello! Bit of insight: I have a cockatiel and a pair of ringnecks. My cockatiel is 3 years old and my ringnecks are 1.5 years old. My female IRN has always been more sensitive of the two and she recently got conjunctivitis and a upper respiratory infection shortly after. We took her the vet and...

    Can I trust my breeder?

    Hi there! This is my first post on the forum so forgive my noobie-ness. I've been looking around for an Indian Ringneck for some time now, I have now found someone who buys them from a breeder friend and re-sells them. She calls herself a bird trader. The birds look very healthy, they're...

    Indian Ringneck furious over certain things.

    Hey all. I have an IRN and I need a little help. She starts puffing up, screaming and attacking me consistently over certain things, including bells, ice cubes and guitars. Removing the bells from her toys isn’t too much of a hassle, and I suppose I can deal with not having ice in my drinks but...

    It's been 6 months, 0 progress.

    Alright, today was the first time I scolded my IRN. Literally, after months and months of trying to build trust, being extremely patient to all sorts of biting and misbehaviour, and getting him used to his environment, he still has some absolute hatred for me. Scratch that, it's not me, it's my...

    Semi aggressive ringneck

    I've had my Indian ringneck male named Forest for a few years now but he is still quite nippy and he bites quite often. His previous home wasn't very good so I understand that it may be because of that but my other rescue birds came around and mostly stopped biting and nipping after a while but...

    Hi, My IRN is 10 months old and since he started playing with toys (about 8 months ago) he has always 'attacked' a certain toy. They are a set of cat toy balls with bells in them that i strung on a string and hang in his cage. He lunges at them and hits them, when they swing back at him, he...
