How to TAME AND TRAIN a Timid Indian Ringneck Parrot

- Опубликовано: 30 май 2021
- Touché is a two year old indian ringneck given up by his first owner because his owner was ready to move on from birds, and did not like him. I have 3 months to make Touché a bird that someone wants to adopt to their forever home. Adopt a bird in need via roniesloveofbirds.com/ which is where I got Touche. Many more birds are in need!

I just got my ringneck today!
He bit me like 6 times the first half hour lol but 6 hours later and he's asleep on my chest and I'm rubbing his head 🥰
does it hurt, how old is she/he?
@@navinbhandari2001 yes it's pretty painful when they bite....
@@bibahu3744 I have an idian ringneck and scared of being bit? advise plz
Heyyyy i got mine now tooo. He's kinda timid hope everything is good with yours
@@navinbhandari2001 it doesnt hurt , its bearable
Ringnecks are very wild, but very motivated and energetic birds. I’ve worked with a lot of birds before, but Niko, my ringneck, has been my absolute favorite to train and bond with. He’ll do just about ANYTHING for a banana chip or a pine nut, and he’s always enthusiastic about training. Ringnecks not being cuddly, at least from my experience, is a myth. Niko loves to cuddle, he’ll sit right up on my neck, they are just very selective with who they will and won’t cuddle with.
I simply love everything about them. From them long gorgeous tails, to how animated they can be. I’ve had ringnecks growing up, but never intuitive to their dietary needs and proper care, as I was young. 5 years ago. I decided to get Milo and it’s been such a joy having him around. They are challenging birds to have. You can either get a super chill ringneck, or a very high maintenance bird, which was my case. The key to owning any parrot is observing and respecting their boundaries.
I found that my male Ringneck loves having bird friends and I think they do better with a flock. When I met Touche at Ronie's he was talking and so interested in my Ringneck I had brought for a nail trim he was so cute. My Ringneck learned a lot from observing which they enjoy doing. I kind of like that they are independent but enjoy being near you. Love seeing Touche and Lefty again.
He's very far from home but is in great hands with you! Stay blessed, both birdie and family! Love from India!
My first Indian ringneck was a rescue, I had no experience with them previously. She was injured, wings got crushed by a child of the previous owner.
According to the previous owners, she was "extremely aggressive". She wasn't at all aggressive, just misunderstood and in pain. One of my best rescues ever.
How's she doing today?
@@ireallylikeinigo2300 Thriving and freeflying around the inside of my house. Beautiful girl is so full of personality and is one of my best companions. It was great when she was able to use her wings again.
I love how you talk about the satisfaction and joy when they fly!
Me and my partner have had this recently with our latest rescue conure, Olive. She was in a tiny cage with no interaction, then a huge cage with forced interaction and no flight experience ever.
She now actively enjoys flying and hopping, she doesn't mind being touched and actively wants to be petted.
It's so rewarding seeing a bird do what they are meant to do and to gain their trust to help them do it!
I got an Indian Ringneck because I love their voice and didn't want a needy/Velcro bird. But my IRN is super attached to my husband and I and loves to cuddle.
Funny when they talk it's as if they ingested helium, really cute. I've also noticed Ringnecks and Mustache parakeets have an extreme dislike of fingers wanting to rub their little heads, or any other part of their body, sure their may be exceptions to this rule. I remember Touché and Lefty and hope both are doing great with their new families. Thanks for the upload, see you soon.
They do, but some warm up to it
1st time Indian Ringneck owner. My birds chose a Ringneck based on lots of breed specific videos. He only cuddles with me after the flock has gone to bed. Doesn't like to be handled or hands over head. Clipped wings early to facilitate communication and building trust. His first words, GOOD BOY, says it loud and proud every time! Has been more cuddly since moving him into a HUGE cage with a male Dusky Conure, who is a serious cuddler.
I got an indian ringneck because I absolutely adore them, i love how they look, sound, their flight ability. You name it. My ringneck, Snips, is definitely happy with the company but doesn’t want anything to do with hands, which is no trouble atall, she goes to bed at night on her own, i know where ill find her at any point in the day. She isnt a chewer, shes more of an observer, she will sit on a makeshift perch i made out of my wardrobe and sit and watch the world go by out the window, or will hang out on or in her cage, has zero interest in destroying anything (but has plenty opportunities to do so) she will sleep, preen and eat while im around. Only thing is, she was cage bound all her life til i came along, so has a fear of being closed into her cage. Which is why i keep her “cageless” she has a cage and uses it to eat and sleep in. She is not responsive to target training, which i know many, if not all, of you will suggest. Theres no doubt in my mind that i have a neglected and abused bird. On the plus side though, she came with all her feathers intact with zero sign of plucking.
I also recused a ringneck, so it is good to know they are stand offish. He does touch the stick when he wants to and goes in circles also when he wants to not when I want him to. He also does not chew on soft wood blocks with treats stuck in side.
Happy bird thats good
General kenobi
Does she have a favourite toy? Target training didn’t work on my bird either, so I had to get creative lol and over time it worked. Try sitting somewhere close to them with something they love, whether it’s a toy or anything really they respond to. With you holding that item in your hand, it begins to see you as a safe space over time. Eventually you can do away with that item and they will happily perch by you. I never pushed my Milo to be pet, he never liked it, I let him get near my hand on his own terms while holding his fav toy, and slowly but surely he let me pet his head and then after a few months he’d nudge my hand for scratches. I feel like constantly talking to them in soft soothing voice also helps
@@MilosAdventure unfortunately no, when i got her, the pictures i saw of her in the cage, had zero toys or anything for her to do, im actually very surprised she isnt a plucker. But were making progress every day. Where i hang out in my room, is within touching distance of where she perches to look out the window. She will happily sleep and preen there. I have a baby pineapple conure currently being hand reared for me, im hoping the baby will help me train my ringneck through visual learning. Its all a process. Ive no idea how many homes she has had before me, but im the last home she will have.
We got ours for looks and hopes he talks . So far, yes, it feels comfortable enough to get close, won't let us touch him, or hold him. It's only been a few months so far. The best thing has been feeding and watching him enjoy veggies, fruits, and salads , he looks super cute eating.
always LOOOOVE and appreciate when you guys show the fails!! it’s so important. i fostered a bird last week just for a few days, and it was my first “my bird” experience ever (where i was the one completely in charge) and even with all the hours upon hours of videos i have watched from you guys, i still felt so stuck at certain moments. i had to go back to videos i thought i had “memorized” and look for all the “fails” to correct myself!
2:10 guest appearance by Lefty. Miss that guy. Wonder how he is doing.
Oh I know more than a few ringneck owners who would kill for their bird to be like touché. He's not even close to being a problem bird luckily for you.
I have a bird named kiwi and today he stepped up for the first time!!!Amazing!, he is trusting me more
That is great!!! Congrats on your progress! 😀
Hi after how long did kiwi step up?
BirdTricks-
I just wanted to say you are the best channel on all of RUclips. I love your work so much. You have been an amazing inspiration to me for improving my birds life. I have an Indian Ringneck who was scared of pretty much everything. That is, until I used your technique! In just 6 months, he has gone from scared and timid to friendly, social and outgoing. Thank you so much!
Aired
Touche's "word" that he says reminds me of Britches, another Indian Ringneck, who is famous for saying "really."
Adorable. Yes, I thought so too.
I appreciate all your helpful videos! Your daughter is the most precious of all, praise to you for raising such a wonderful little human who will continue to grow with love and respect for animals. You and your family and very gifted and special people, now if I can only soak up all this knowledge and apply & correct my errors as a bird mama for the better of my feathered friend. Thanks for all you share!
Touché is very similar to my lovebird. My bird was insanely hand shy from the beginning, and even after months of training and trust building, he still gets nervous when I move my hand over him or other movements like that. But he’s definitely improving, and it’s reassuring to know that other birds like him also have these worries that can be mellowed out
I realy like how you work with parrots, you have a great respect towards them and I can feel through your video's how much you love them😋
My friend is looking to rehome her 18 month old ringneck. I was looking for taming examples on you tube and your video really made me excited! I have experience with Eclectus’, Cockatiels, and Parakeets, but never had a ringneck. I’m meeting him later today. She has 6 other birds and just hasn’t had time for taming him. I guess he’s really chill and just hangs out on top of the cage all day and watches everyone. Just doesn’t have an interest in being social. I’m going to follow you, you seem to really know what you’re doing! Thank you! -Jess
Aaaaw!!! He is really cute!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 That training session the involved flying was amazing!!! He was so excited!!! 😊💕
It was nice to see Lefty! He has been my favorite project bird!
I got a Indian ringneck because I love the way their little beards look and from all the cute videos I’ve seen of them talking and just bringing life to peoples life
That's awesome!
I had a hand-raised male Indian Ringneck quite a few years ago. "Burt" was very loving and always looking for a head scratch. Still miss that little guy.
I got my female violet IRN in April of 2020, she definitely went through her bluffing stage from about 7 months to little over a year old. She is so wild and peels the paint from the windows, bites at the wooden structures built in the house, and is just a pooping machine. She loves to fly around the house and is obsessed with my boyfriend, it’s challenging though because she wants his attention but she is “mating” mode and I’ve learned to not acknowledge that behavior and try to ignore it rather than encourage it even though she’s being friendly and lets you pet her when she’s in those moods. She still doesn’t let me get even close to petting her ever, but she genuinely likes to hang around me and is always super interested in what I’m doing. She just spoke her first words a few weeks ago, “what doing” and it is super adorable lol however I wish the people I got her from wouldn’t have recommended her to me as a first time bird owner, I feel like that was just a push to sell her.
To answer the “why do people get an Indian ringneck” question (from one Indian ringneck owners perspective)
For one they look really cool. And my ringneck doesn’t talk, I went into owning him knowing full well he doesn’t talk, since he was a rescue.
But for me it was that separation. My female quaker is kinda a Velcro bird and I wanted a less cuddly bird to offset her actually. I mean it failed, my ringneck is extremely social and wants to be on people all the time. He’s the bird that gets put on visitors hands because he just loves people. I find the ringneck stereotypes are often exaggerated, but maybe Charlie is just an oddball of his species.
i also have an asiatic parrot (a moustache derbyan parakeet hybrid) and one of the reasons I got one was because I liked that they weren't super clingy and cuddly (according to the research i'd done) but my boy is suuuuper clingy and 100% a velcro bird. shocked me but i've grown to accept it hahaha
Thank you for sharing the work you do with project birds. I like the way ringnecks look
I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Touche!
*These birds are magnificent, I love them with all my heart! =)*
Yesterday I just brought home an indian ringneck whose 2 years old, she was really scared and timid, it’s my first time with a ringneck although I have had experience with conures and budgies. Today she was eating bellpeppers from my hand, I hope she will get more comfortable around me so we can bond. Her previous owners couldn’t take care of her so they gave her away, and she was usually alone at her old home, her cage was very big but it had very few toys and only 2 perches, but I put in more toys and perches.
We have a long way to go, she is still a bit scared from me but she would still eat from my hand.
I can tell he enjoys that stimulation of training.
I got an indian ringneck and he is just the sweetest little thing!
I'm part of a lot of Facebook groups for ringnecks, and I strongly believe that most of the issues with ringnecks are due to outdated information being spread by other owners and breeders. It's frustrating the BS that people in those groups spread when it comes to nearly everything.
Also about 30% of Indian ringnecks usually will be receptive to cuddling. The rest usually will not, and it's somewhat the species, but mostly how they're handled as babies. They are pretty wary of hands early on, and if they are always pushed past their comfort zone, it takes a lot to get them to trust again.
I got mine because I also saw the hilarious videos, and was obsessed with the species and needed one.
I wasn't concerned with not petting them-- I have kakarikis and a rosella, so it's not like cuddling is on my must-have list of things I want in a bird.
Very true
I have not been able to find any active FB groups for Ringnecks. The only ones I've found haven't been posted on since 2018. 😞
Yeah Kakariki are not fans of cuddling either :D we have 2. Let's see if the ringneck we will get tomorrow is like them or will be more cuddly.
@@jamssnana4084 there is a fb group called Indian ringneck parrots, very active
My ringneck is super cuddly. I raised him from 3 months old, he’ll sit right on my neck and do little happy chirps when I stroke his head. 🤷🏻
I really love your videos! Thanks for all you do!
Judging by his appearance, Touche is at least 3, his previous owner likely didn't socialize him properly..caged him, didn't hold him etc. Our ringneck is very affectionate, likes to be nuzzled etc He's happy on a perch in my office, but knows he can fly downstairs to his cage when he feels like going "home"..which he taught himself, down a flight of stairs and across an 1800 sq ft house, pretty cool
I have 3 of these weird and wonderful birds. They're so much fun, but you can't get the cute ringnecks you see in videos, without a lot of work and a good bond. They're wary at first, while they try to figure out what kind of person you're going to be for them. They're very sensitive birds that go through sudden fears similar to African greys, during adolescence.
My oldest ringneck is blind and the sweetest bird ever that wants her head scratched for hours, but the other two are babies and haven't learned to like scritches yet because they literally don't sit still 😂
I really love how touche is just fluff
I just adopted an IRN from a parrot rescue and he is displaying the "bluffing"... I did research this particular species and didn't read anything about the no touchy part...lol but birds are individuals and I know nothing about his life before me. I love him and we will work through it because I'll have him forever.... Love my Obi.... thank you for the video ~~ Love from Lakeside ~~ Phoebe
OMG TYSM that was very helpful cause I just bought a ringedneck parakeet 2 weeks ago and I had no idea how to tame her so thank you so much this was very helpful
It's not that they're not cuddly, they just have their own 'I need cuddles' moment a couple of times a week. We have an IRN and he is extremely social and always wants to be around people, but doesn't really enjoy to be touched and that's fine with us. The truth is, we didn't really want an IRN, we wanted a Patagonian Conure coz cuddling :D Things didn't work out and I couldn't wait for another Patagonian, so I acted on impulse and bought an IRN. BEST DECISION EVER :D He's been with us for three years, he's bilingual :D, super talkative, completely freeflighted(he's outside in our back yard all day long, he does fly around the neighborhood but never lands anywhere else except in our back yard and this behavior wasn't trained, we're still shocked about it :D), and surprisingly, not that interested in destroying everything... except smartphones :D He's flying skills are amazing, I just wish I had better camera recording skills to catch all of his air shenanigans on video.
Not exactly an IRN, but around 2 months ago an alexandrine landed in our backyard and we took him in, as most of my pet experience is with reptiles it was challenging at first but he adapted really well to my family (FYI we searched for the owners and couldn't find them, and wild individuals live in my area but they have been much more rare to find in the recent years) watched a lot of your videos to get the hang of understanding and dealing with birds
Alex just loves hanging around wherever we are, no cuddles but will climb on hands and shoulders no problem, if he is annoyed he will give warnings like a distinct low volume sound, or he might push my hands away with his beak, he rarely goes for a bite though.
we didnt clip his wings as he loves to fly around and follow sounds of people talking, but he can be destructive to furniture
he is a good boy though, when its bed time and i take him to his cage he doesnt resist and he gets a treat for it, but he will try to come out if we put him to bed while we are still hanging around his cage
I have 2 IRN,S and their spoilt rotten their a very adorable and smart they pick up on stuff very quickly talkitive parrot they melt your heart when they talk in the most adorable way
My IRN loves cuddles but I have had him since he was a baby; he was also hand raised by his breeder. Their level of comfort differs GREATLY depending on how they were raised. It also depends on the age you got him. If you get an adult bird, it will be much more difficult to bond with that level of comfort. On the other hand, getting a baby and bonding at that stage makes all the difference when it comes to whether these parrots are comfortable being affectionate or not with their human flock mates.
I got mine Indian ringnecks 3 weeks ago and they are 9 month old. I let them out of the cage after 1 week now they don't go there anymore to sleep and I don't know what to do I'm waiting that they both go back to cage to eat then close the door and trying to tame them. They are very scared
Gosh you both were amazing. Lovely video.
I live in india and there are soo many ringneck around my balcony about 20 -25 , they come every day for food and I feed them mix seed....
Edit : and some of them are tamed also.
I really enjoy a challenge and that's the truth. I knew she would take a tonnnnn of work but, same thing with my Rottweiler - different methods. TY for all the help!!!
I got a Indian ring neck because they are adorable and aren’t as loud as other parrots that talk. Mine is sweet and likes kisses and scratches. He loves to sit on my shoulder and watch tv and loves dancing. He’s also good with my kids.
Am I the only one that likes watching videos about pets I’ll never own?
He is getting there progress makes perfect
This is absolutely amazing its all about patients
I have a 2 year old ringneck, so still very young. I’ve had Asriel since he was a few months old and he still is very nervous about things. He’s come along so well, loves doing tricks, and will let me pet him (only in certain areas he’s comfortable with, aka on his cage). He also steps up perfectly and is a non stop chatterbox, except when he’s around me! 😆watching you progress with a matured ringneck is so interesting! Definitely much more of a nervous type compared to our chilled out Amazon
do you remember when he was little he often bit? ,by reaching with your finger to land on it
because mine taught him to climb on a stick when I put my finger bit me.
he often reaches out to bite as he sees his fingers.
whether this aggression is due to youth v
Touche sounds like he's saying here I am. He looked like he was playing peek a boo with Capri. He hides saying "where" lifts the head says "Here I am!"
I have two Indian ringnecks their spoilt rotten their an amazing bird to own very talkative their deferentially worth the time and affort to tame and their quick to pick up on stuff and they make the cutest noise ❤
Not all Indian Ringnecks hate being toched. I think we all hope we will get that one because if you can get an Indian Ringneck that likes physical touch it's one of the best parrots you can have.
Mine is independent, large vocabulary and very chatty, he doesn't get into stuff he isn't supposed to, he's really smart and he learns quickly.
Also, Indian Ringnecks are so beautiful and their voices are so cute.
This hatred of hands can be trained out of them. They may never like to cuddle but they can be taught to accept a pet.
I've had mine since he was 5 months old and it's taken 6 months of constant work to get him to somewhat accept petting.
I went for an Indian Ringneck because I loved their cute voices, their social nature and their curiosity (though I suppose that's almost every parrot huh?). My ringneck Alex is definitely social, he loves people and loves to hang out with me and any guests I have. He can be quite demanding when he wants attention however, he pretty much always takes the initiative when he wants to hang out. Sometimes it can be quite tiring, but I wouldn't have it any other way honestly.
At first he was totally against any contact beyond kisses, particularly with hands, but after having him for a year and a half he does actually want head scritches from time to time. Though always on his terms, he lets me know when he wants to be pet, any other time and he will scurry away. At the moment he only lets me pet him, he's shown no interest in others petting him, maybe that will change?
He does indeed know how to speak, which I was excited to see. His first word was "Ok" which was hilariously mundane. He also learned "hello" before "hi" despite me saying "hi" way more often. I suppose he wanted to be formal, which I can respect. He does only speak when he's very excited, so he'll often follow it up with loud noises or getting into stuff he shouldn't. He tends forget the rules when he's excited
Overall I love having Alex around, he is a total handful and can be a real pain in the ass, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. He brings so much life to my place and always keeps me on my toes, for better or for worse lol
I have a rescue Ringneck, I’m in awe of your training . It’s taken 2 years just to get my boy to take a piece of fruit from my fingers. Very nervous
Thank you for your lovely and very interesting videos. I watch them from Bavaria/Germany. In the end when Touché sits on your bed, ist is so cute because he calls your daughter „Mama! Mama!“ like a native German Baby ❤️ Best wishes from Germany, Corinna 🥰
At first I wanted a indian ringneck cuz' they talk, and also for my sun conure to not be lonely. Now specially they are free flighted together they never leave each other when flying. But due to the indian ringneck flying so fast the sun conure falls behind a little bit.
Here in the UK, Indian Ringnecks are one of the cheapest almost guaranteed talking parrot.
ours was £350 ($497) hand raised but can get them as cheap as £200 ($287).
So far our Ringneck says 'peekaboo', 'Come on. step up' in a really cute punch and judy voice
In the UK, Ringneck's are the only invasive parrot species to live all year round in the UK.
There is a large group in London and in Birmingham.
They are mostly green though and ours is yellow with a nice red beak
wow, that's considered cheap for a parrot for you guys there? Clearly we're spoilt here! (makes up for everything else that you have cheaper than us I guess :)
kind of lol.
We pay a lot more for houses and fuel here. lol
Current gasoline US dollar per litre $0.46, in the UK per litre it's $1.35
Id be interested to hear what is cheaper in the UK than the US.
I never did fully understand why an apple product could be $399 in the US but £399 in the UK.
Congo African Grey parrots normally sell for $1100 (£800) but the moment they speak the prices go up to $1705 (£1200)
Caiques used to be cheap until people cottoned on how fashionable they now are so prices for them are now $1100 (£800)
@@BillyNoMates1974 lol I'm in Australia though not the US, so fuel's currently at $1.45 here (city, country costs far more). I've never actually had a clue how much it is in the US, due to their dumb imperial numbers, so thanks for sharing & wow that's cheap! ridiculously so!
Average house price in Sydney is $1,309,195, no idea what apple product you're referring to there, but no doubt it costs more here than both the US & UK. I guess at least our minimum wages are higher too, but still.....
Foreign birds we really don't get here, really no interest, since we tend to like outgoing, nutty birds, which is basically our own species. I've never heard of anyone here owning an African Grey & can't imagine anyone wanting one over a cocky of some kind.
Basic birds here are about $30, hand reared up to about $250 (that's for the colourful & talking ones like lorikeets, galahs, cockies, cockatiels etc), or you can just pretend a wild one's your pet, feed it/them regularly & they'll be there waiting at the same time everyday & will happily play & come in to socialise at other times of the day too, just in the hope that you'll be in the mood for some more fun :). No messy cleaning if doing it that way either :) & plenty will talk & be really tame, quite a lot of them have been pets at some point & someone's got bored & just let it go.
Birds like magpies & kookaburras we're not allowed to keep as pets, but again the wild ones will happily be adopted while remaining technically wild :) Really plenty of options for cheap good quality birds though. The cage is certainly the most expensive part of the purchase!
@@mehere8038 sorry I aasumed you was state side.
Yes I have seen a few video's of wild cockies being quite tame around people.
must be great having that interaction with wild animals but on the flip side almost everything is dangerous there. lol
even the Roo's want a fight
In answer to your question 2 yrs ago. It might of helped if you played with him. They love to play peekaboo, which is why he loved training. They love toys and puzzles and they love that they make you happy. When being held from a baby on they want to be on you. They are very social with everyone that will play peekaboo with them. They don't just say it.. they love the whole game. Hiding and popping up. They are fun
My teil Olivia, that I rescued. She is like this, she is fine in the same room as me, but, hands are to scary, she does GREAT with stepping up, she just doesn’t enjoy staying on my hand, so I used some of your methods, I figured out she loves millet, and used that to clicker train her and target trained her in like a few weeks, I will also just have her step up on my hand and just sit really close to a play gym super still, this way she can get off but doesn’t feel threatened
Love the videos!
My ringneck is almost 2 years old. Name is kiwi. Live in Sydney Australia- kiwi is great, very smart, talkative, very hard work to get to this stage where he trusts eveyone. Hes very picky with food, flies like a legend, chews on everything,
With me I have a female Indian ring neck that I found in a sewage inside my home and I toke it in and at the time I didn’t realize it was very young and I had no experience from caring for parrots so I researched how to take care of it and it’s been about a month and this video explains a lot about her behavior
You make look so easy bless you both
I love the sound of his little claws on the wood table

I wanted an Indian ringneck because I think there very beautiful birds.i had a quacker parrot that had passed away.so I went to a place they had all kinds of birds there but they had this beautiful bright yellow Indian ringneck at the front of the shop and I was like that's the one I want.
This is exactly where I am with my sun conure. He likes to be with me, but afraid of my hand (but he does step up). He already how to spin with voice command, though. But it’s the only thing he does 😂 Oh, and we can also free fly, but he just gets spooked when my hand goes near him.
When I first glance at the title I thought it read Timid Indian "Redneck" Parrot. LoL
haha the bath towel in the mirror :P
I love all your birds
I wanted him to be my best friend, that's why I bought him. And also for time pass. He is sooo cute and adorable..
I remember being 9y.o little girl who watched RIO all the time, i was admiring the beauty and glory of them. Now 10 years later i got my first parrot Koko, who is a ringneck parrot. He has gone through 1 owner and a bird breeder before i got him. He lived with his first owner for 2.5 years, who never let him out, didn’t give him any fruit only seeds and the owner was never home, myb once a week. He was in his cage all the time, dog barking next to him. Owners friend came from time to time to change water, put more seeds and to take the dog on a walk. He was never trained to be on the hand or anything, he was just a pretty exotic bird for his first person. Fast forward the owner sold him to a bird breeder and they were very kind to him, for the first time in his life he could come out of his cage, he got fruit and everything he needed. There were other parrots too so he also had company. I visited him for couple of times, first time i saw him i was just drawn to him. Every time i visited i tried to get closer and give him fruits, but he would just fly away. Once again fast forward i got him for my birthday. Few days later we got him a friend, also a ringneck parrot, we don’t know the gender yet since the other one is 5 months old. They get along very well, if we leave out few times they have fought for a toy or a food. Koko has been here for 2 weeks now and he is a lot calmer. Before he would start screaming when i was within >1m radius, but now sometimes i can change the food/drink bowl without him making a noise. Eventhough he let’s me this near outside of the cage he doesn’t let me super near and it’s quite sad because i really want to teach him tricks and everything. I know it takes time and it’s okay, i’m willing to wait.
I wanted to ask a little help though. How can i get him to trust me? Rn i’m spending time next to their cage everyday watching them and movies. I try to give them food by hand, if they dont take i just put it on cage and stand there.
It is not that Koko doesn’t like socializing, i think he is just scared of me. Because when i go somewhere for a long time he lands on the door and searches for me. And when i try to do powernap on the sofa then he lands on chair, looks at me and does some kind of whining sound to wake me up.
If you read this and have any suggestions for me then you are more than welcome to reply, i would be very thankful.
Indian ringnecks are tough in the beginning.
How do you choose the favorite treats to use for each bird?
Hey Guys, I'm a longtime follower and am gettign a b&g macaw in the next few weeks and am wondering if there's a video where you recommend pellets for macaws? Unfortunatly I'm in Australia and cant get your pellets. I was looking at the nutriberries and zupreem but I really don't like some of their ingredients.
Actually I like abt my ringednecked parakeet is that she loves cuddles when I scratch her head she just make this really cute whistle
I bought a blue indian ringneck from a pet store, I apsolultly love her but she doesn't want hands anywhere near her, she is free flighted in my house and she shares her space with a goulian finch, 2 budgies 2 love birds a Scarlett parrot and a rainbow lorreket. I have 1 large cage in the kitchen that is always open and the birds choose if and when they go in. I also have a large tree with strong branches that they share near the windows. Amazingly they all get along but Princess (indian ringneck) is the boss. She is the only 1 that will not leave the kitchen area where all of the others come into see me in the lounge room or in my bedroom. I am more than happy for her to call the shots as to how close I am aloud to get to her. She is the quietest and the rainbow is the noisiest as well as the love birds.
I have a quaker parrot andrew i love him he is so much fun
I bonded with one I the pet store I go to. She was expensive and I put it off for almost 8 months. But that is my bird. So I put a deposit and visit her every day until til I can take her home. I can’t wait 🎉
I have a Indian ring neck and we got him like 4 months ago he’s still getting “use to” my house and me and he came in a cage that was small and I felt really bad so I bought a slightly bigger cage now he has a longer cage with natural wood that keeps the top he can perch on but it’s still not enough I know I’m determined to make him have a happier life so I’m starting a new job so he can get toys and a bigger cage I’m trying chop for the first time today so we’ll see how it goes
What's have you found to be good treats for the stick training?
Hi so how long did it take for blueberry to get used to the place? because I have 2 budgies and when I let them out there cage they just fly straight up to the curtain pole
I thought you hade him 2 years ago!
My IR Spyro barely makes any noise, like a squeek twice a day or less, he does not talk at all. But he is really active, so he climbs all over the cage, jumps from one perch to another and chews and destroys all his toys, ropes, wood, cardboard etc. He is on top of his cage most of the time with his toys. He is currently in his bluffing stage so he hisses inside the cage but not outside. His ring is starting to come through but it's not fully there yet (not fully black like touche) Hopefully this summer. I'm not sure how old he is though. I'm guessing around 2 yrs old.
The reason why I got him is because I think these birds look beautiful and are very active.
My INR is the same way! He doesn’t like to be touched! The reason I got my INR is because of they’re very social/talking ability and there appearance!
As an indian i have seen my share of Indian ringnecks in my life.
I have always grown up with a indian ringneck around me
Yes they can be very destructive if left alone without toys . My tainu was given to me as a baby chick and he loves cuddles and he is also very talkative
Most of us in southern India have had a ringneck in some part of our life
Hey I’d really love for you to make a vid abt all cares and needs for your ringednecked parakeet and what to feed them and what are the treats they take :)
My 4 month old IRN Sullivan is the biggest lover I've ever met. He's super playful, he's so smart, and his bluffing phase has been incredibly tame. He loves getting hugs, especially if you're lying on your back, he'll run to your face to press his chest against your cheek for a hug and kisses. It's really sweet... I have yet to be bitten by him, meanwhile, my other supposed "good starter birds" aka my blue-headed Pionus, and my cockatiel have both bitten me hard enough to draw blood.
But, my motivation for getting an IRN is because they are so playful and intelligent, and their voices are very sweet obviously, but to me, I wasn't really expecting that I would get a talking bird. Just in case my bird didn't talk, it wasn't a deal-breaker for me, but I do love their sweet voices, so it's a plus for sure. Also, They're independent and self-starting, and I love that about them. I also love budgies, and since they're a parakeet, I figured it would be a similar experience. Also, they're SOooOOooOOoo cute, like... just the way they look warms my heart. I also wasn't expecting to get such a loving bird, I was more anticipating a more reserved bird who likes to hang out, but to my shock, my Sully has turned out to be such a lover, and I'm very pleased about that.
Exactly how my Indian ring neck first was!
So are all/most/some the videos for project birds that are on patron going to be released on youtube later?
Holy short shorts Jamie!
How did you get him to step up to take him to the stand? I'm trying to teach mine to step up, but so much hand-fear.
I’ve just got my baby girl 3 months old I let her have her first flight out the cage yesterday I definitely need to target train her soon 🥹😂
Any chance for a link of that perch stand in your bedroom please?
What treats are you using?
i just got a ringneck from a online auction it turns out the bird has 1 missing toe and his left eye is deformed i don't know if he can see out of that eye. i got him/her it take sunflower seeds from my hand but not all the time. the poor bird is very scared of hands and when i try the stick it runs so i have no ideal how to move it when needed so i just back off since i only had it for a few days. i also know it takes time for them to get use to humans but any help will be appreciated . i really need to take the bird to a vet to have it checked out but like i said hard to move it and i don't want to make thing worst
It was the largest not a cockatoo at the RSPCA and needed a home.
My brother wanted a bird, so we got an Indian ringneck, his name is Clover is mischievous and he poops everywhere. He also makes a lot of noises when he wants to get out of his crate. He loves kisses and he’s very hard to get in his crate. He’s also very talkative and timid. He also makes a mess when we give him some food out of his crate.
