Indian Ringneck flies to me & goes back to cage.

This morning, I’ve been sitting in bed and my Indian Ringneck will fly to me and back to his cage.. without landing. Does this mean anything specific? I an not bonded with him yet and he is not tame, as I got his 3-4 days ago.

He wants attention from you but is conflicted about whether to go to you or his cage?

He’s out of food?

My "Parrot guy" told me IRNs take a while to bond. If he's doing this......

I would take it as a VERY good sign.

I've never owned the species but.......he was like it takes 6-8 months to bond fully. Maybe he's wrong but I estimate he knows what he's talking about which means you may be ahead of the curve.

I think that’s accurate because I’ve heard the same thing. I’ve only had him for 4 days and he’s already stepping up on his own, target training, AND flying to me. I think I got lucky lol

My guess at his age is that he was just having fun flying 😁
