- I have a new Indian Ringneck 8 months old that we are trying to tame but find it very difficult.
Hi My name is Renelle and we just got a new IRN about a month ago his name is Marly(or her name)8 months old. He is sooo scared of us!!!He comes from someone that had a small aviary and appearently he was handtamed as a baby but reverted back to being wild cause the guy never interacted with him.We keep him in the living room and everytime we get off the couch he runs to the top of the cage. I took him out tonight cause sometimes he jumps off the cage and he has a wing that bleeds and I wanted to fix it. I put him in an enclosure where it ws all blocked with curtain arround and he did step up a couple of times but was screaching like death was coming. I was able to put a towel over him and pot some powder on his wing but her was panting at the end probably from stress so I put him back in his cage. Should I keep putting him in there with me to keep training him or is it too much???We are getting so much different advice...Some say tough love and force him to get trained and some say take the time even if its years. But really I feel so bad that he is sooo scared of us that I would like to make it a faster process. Any advice please.
