I only have a male so far. He’s a ringneck as well. Nowhere near as massive as yours but the difference is with him he runs from me anytime he gets but once I grab him he flaps a little then I tuck him like an American football and he calms right now to where I can hold him without struggling. I do press him to my body not hard but enough to let him know he’s pretty securely held. I can pet him that way without any fight but the trick is catching the guy. I do have a 10 foot by 13 foot enclosure with a doghouse inside so he can go hide if he likes. He’s still adjusting to his new enclosure. I named him Coocoo because of the call he makes but he’s my precious boy even though he’s scared of me. I don’t have a blinder on him at the moment.
