Hi ya'll. This is Dara, my 17-month-old African Ringneck. Wondering if you can help me figure out Dara's sex via the color or shape of their head.
Dara occasionally walks over to a mirror and will give it a little lick with eyes that pin, but not often. No heart-shaped wing motions.
Dara...
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...
Hello everyone, I'm totally new to this forum so I'll try to briefly explain my questions and what my parrot looks like.
I've established that my baby parrot aged 1 year old named Rio is a ringneck and the colour is totally green.
However, this is my first time owning a parrot in general and I...
Hello, I own a ringneck that is around 8 weeks old, started flying recently and on my way to wean it.
I got her/him when the baby was around 3-4 weeks old and i thought it was an IRN. But now, looking at my bird and other IRNs, i see differences in beak color (it’s not red), size of feet and...
Just a note: Yes i know some people don't like flight suits but please don't leave hate in the comments. Thank you.
My ringneck has worn her homemade flight suit quite a few times, Maybe 3 or 4 in the past few days. Unfortunately since it's homemade we wouldn't condition her to it since we had...
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...
I've only had my indian ringneck for a week. In this time he bonded a lot with me. He is now almost completely tame.
However I think I made the mistake of giving him too much attention. I've spent most of the day with him, playing, cuddling and giving him treats and toys. I recently learned...
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...
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...
So recently i traveled so i had my cousin take care of my parrot, my pareot really didnt mind being with my cousin.
So when i came back after 20 days i have noticed that my parrot has started to bite me for no reason and when he tries to bite me and i give my arm a little shake he tries to...
My 4 month old ringneck has lost his tail feathers only, but i have not seen any regrowth. Is it because he is young and the regrowth is taking longer then usual. He didn't lose all the tail feathers at once
My 7 week old ringneck started flying recently he has also reduced the number of time he eats. But he is more active then before and more happy as well. Should i worry about him. Also he jumps in his food bowl and litterly starts digging and throws his pellets out of the bowl. He does this only...
Hi. I'm in need of help and fast. I am visiting my parents with my 7 month old ringneck parrot Wesley. He was on my shoulder and he got spooked by something and flew off my shoulder, tried to perch on a incesce bottle with sticks that emmit the smell and he has ended up covered in incense oil! I...
Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum and I joined to get feedback on this question.
I got a 5 month old Indian Ringneck named Dagger (when I first met him he bit me and drew blood, hence the name) about a month ago and I've been taking all the typical advice (no sudden movements, soft kind...
Hello! My name is Louise, and I’m thinking about getting a bird. I’ve never owned a bird before, but I have done many months of research and I’ve narrowed my choices down to three species: a ring neck, a cockatiel, or a Pionus. Of these three, the Pionus are definitely my favorites, but I want...
I recently received a blue Indian ringneck which to my knowledge is only about is few months old. I got it from a friend who could no longer take care of it. I have only had him for about a week.
If I put my hand near the cage, he gets anxious and isn't comfortable at all. If I put my hand in...

I want one that is not wild...
Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. I have very little experience with birds. When I was little, I had two budgies but only my mom handled them. I did not get out of that experience due to my young age. We didn't really know what we were doing so they were not tamed or trained at all. They...
