indian ringneck

Hi there, about a week ago I ended up with a rescue IRN and he is the cutest little thing. He loves cuddling up to my partner and I, and he is quite chirpy, giving us a squawk now and then too🤣🦜 I am just a bit concerned, because I don't think his wings are looking as healthy as they should be...

Hello I am trying to get some help with people that have more experience with these types of birds. I have a 5-7 week old Indian Ringneck. I got it about 2 weeks ago. It was growing really nicely and was climbing his cage, which then we upgraded him to a bigger cage, so he could have more...

hello! So my story began when I wanted to buy my mom a bird using my first job salary! She always dreamt of owning a bird and taking care of it so I figured I'd get one for our house. I went to get maybe a budgie, but ended up falling in love with the most kindhearted and polite IRP! The owner...

Hi everyone, I'm new here, and am a new bird owner, Eli has only been with me for 2 weeks now and is 11 weeks of age. He's starting to come out of his shell a bit more now, and is starting to explore around 🙂 now my question is, do you guys think his head will go white, blue or stay a...

My baby Eli, 11 weeks old

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum and also a new Indian Ringneck Mom. Kiwi is about 18 months old and we are getting to know each other very slowly. He has not been socialized at all and is very nervous. He doesn’t show any aggression just the avoidance and startled fluttering in his cage. My...

Hello all, I got myself a IRN last friday. We are together for six days know. He or she is not afraid of me or other people, the bird is very calm, relax i think. When i get home from and enter the room it looks excited, runs in cage and wants to come out. I am freely handling it and feed it...

Goodmorning everyone, I have an IndianRingneck 9 months old. Before a week we moved for 3 days on countryside for Easter celebration. The bird was scared and stressed as it is his first move outside of the house. He are less and generally was a bit stressed. After we get back home (4 days) he...

Hi! Despite the title this isn’t a normal what’s-the-gender question, it’s kind of odd. For context, in December of 2020 I got a 2 month old IRN, named Ren. When we got Ren, his breeder told us he had already done a DNA test and that he was a male. I had already done my own research and...

Greetings everyone, I joined this forum as I am currently looking for a lutino or blue Alexandrine parrot, or a violet/nicely colored Indian Ringneck that is preferably young (~7 months old). I have just lost my baby boy Twilight after 15 years since he was a baby to a hawk who just snatched him...

I recently got a 3 month old indian ringneck, but something that’s been concerning me is that the feathers around his crop are considerably darker. I’ve searched the internet looking for anyone who’s experienced something similar, but I’ve found nothing. I’ve been feeding him a varied diet...

Heya! Man, it's been a while since I've posted on the forums here, but I've poked my head in now and then over the years to read up on other posts. A handful of you may remember me as my late Sun Conure, Chicken's owner -- I am now a very proud caretaker of a little sassy Green Cheek, Bongo...

Hi all! I got my Baby Blue almost 2 years ago. She is a rehomed parrot, and the original owner didn't even give her a name. She used to be such a quiet and scared bird, but I feel like she's opened up a lot. There's a lot of good about her! But, there are still a lot of things I want to...

Hi everyone! My name is Jam I’m 33 years old. And your site has been my go to for any birb questions. I own a cockatoo rescue, Hero (upper beak got bitten off by a macaw when it was a baby), George my green IRN, Steven my racquet tail, Larry my SC, Mikey and Pablo the budgies...

Hello! I'm new to this forum. I have a 7 month old untamed Indian Ringneck, Everyday I always talk to it and sit beside the cage but it always sits in the corner of the cage and sometimes screams. I also try to give it fruit through the cage but gets scared and corners itself. I once tried to...

I got 2 Indian Ringnecks from a family member recently (1 month and a half) and since i got them, they have been abnormally quiet. I know this might sound weird coming from someone on this site but im really not a bird person, they belong to my sister, so im generally too scared to play with...

hey everyone! I need help please, due to strict lockdowns in Australia vets around me aren't taking in any consultations so I thought id ask here. my Indian ringneck for the past couple of months has been obsessed with his reflection, he will find it anywhere, tv, phone, table...

Hello dear bird owners, I've recently bought a 4 month old sweet Indian Ringneck 6 days ago, which the ex owner thinks is a male. He's super sweet, not aggressive and has been hand fed and domesticated. He has been eating and drinking fine, does his beak grinding before sleeping, chirps a few...

My new 4 month old Indian Ringneck is extremely timid. We are being slow and going his pace. If you approach him in or out of his cage you get one of two reactions, 1 is heavy breathing (think watching a horror movie heavy breathing) but puts up with your presence. And 2 is walking or flying...

Hi! I have a 4 month old Indian ringneck parakeet named Rhino. We've only had him a few days. When he's flown about he doesn't land anywhere. He flies until he lands on the ground. I'm worried it's because eof his feet. He has a deformed foot. He can climb in his cage get himself balanced o...

Hey! I have two baby IRN's who are a month old. So I know I'm not supposed to give them a shower but at what age exactly can I give them a shower because they're starting to stink and their feathers are starting to have a weird texture to them. Also, there's no proper info about it anywhere :(...

Hi all! I really need some advice on my Indian ringneck Kinzo. I've had him for around 6-7 months and he is still terrified of me. I have tried everything that I've thought would work to make him more comfortable with me and my family being around him. He's scared of all of us, the minute I...

Hello! I recently purchased my first Indian Ringneck about 2 weeks ago. The breeder said that he/she (no idea of the gender currently) was hand reared and is about 13 weeks. When I got him home I opened the cage door and allowed him to move into his new big boy cage, the one he was kept in by...

Not sure if anyone remembers but few weeks ago I had posted about my IRN Kulfi who has psittacosis. She was on meds for a long time and though the issue did get resolved, the conjunctivitis that came with it ended up getting worse. There was pus alongside her beak and maybe under her right eye...

Hello. I’m a new member. I’ve had birds for 4 years going 5 years now. I currently have a a pair of ringnecks and a cockatiel. My cockatiel is 3 years old and my ringnecks are 1.5 years old. My female IRN has always been more sensitive and she developed conjunctivitis (treated for) and now has...

I decided to join this forum because I thought it would be great to read other peoples experiences owning an Indian Ringneck. I am not planning on getting one until next year, if I do still think the IRN is the right bird for myself and my family. I am almost 23, married stable job and have a...

Hello! Yesterday I’ve noticed that my baby Zazu (IRN) has some bald spots above his nostrils. Today the bald area appears to be larger than yesterday. At first I thought it’s because of him hanging on the cage bars a lot and kinda chewing on them (i upgraded him to a bigger cage, yet he still...

Hello everyone! I own a 3 month old IRN baby and I have to admit I spoiled him a lot. I got him right before the Corona thing started, so I was able to spend a lot of time with hime, maybe too much. He ended up eating and being weaned outside of the cage and usually only goes to his cage to...

this might be a little long, but i’m going to try and make it as thorough as possible. just two days ago i purchased a 4 week old indian ringneck from a reputable breeder in my area. i know many advise against getting parrots this young, and for very good reason, but i’ve had much past...

Hello all, I'm brand new to this site..just signed up yesterday. I was hoping some of you could give me some insight on my situation. So alittle back story I grew up around birds. My mother raised cockatiels and love birds (so I'm use to bird bites ;)). I even had a conure that was a nasty...

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...

Sunny is my first bird and she has displayed this behaviour for over three years, the entire time I've had her since she was weaned. I used to think it was normal, but the more I interact with other birds, the more I find out that it isn't? She tends to do it more when she's not occupied, such...

Hello!! My name is Alex; I'm 26 years old and from Wales. I only have one bird; a nearly four year old female Indian Ringneck named Sunny! Here she is:

I have an approximately 5yo IRN named angel. I’ve had him for about four years and I’m his third home. His first home was a breeder and his second home couldn’t keep him after several months due to a disabled child. I say this because I don’t know if this is partly why he is so attached to me...

Hello! It's been a short while since I've been on here. So I am hopefully getting my first hand reared baby ringneck next year. I have been constantly researching about everything to do with ringnecks! I met one in person the other day in a pet shop near where I live. I got really close to the...

Hello, I just purchased a baby Indian Ringneck a couple days ago. I don't know the gender and haven't named it yet. It's about 8 months old and wasn't handled much at the store I got it from. It gets really scared if I stick my hand in the cage and runs away. I tried taking it out of the cage a...

Hi! I've had my Montu for about 8/9 months now, making Montu about a year and a half now. I love her to pieces, but I'm very sure she doesn't like me very much. She flies from me, bites, and screams whenever I get too close. Anytime I come close she pulls away. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

Hello again! So I have a plan to put my IRN in a room upstairs with my bearded dragon. I spend a lot of time in that room so no need to worry about me not socialising with the parrot. The only reason it won't be in the main living space is because my boyfriend records music and wants to still...

Hello, how can you tell the difference between a flock call and a call for attention? I read that you should call back to a flock call by saying 'I'm here' in a normal voice but you shouldn't respond to calls just for your attention. So if this is true, how can you tell the difference? Are there...
