indian ringneck

Hello! So I have been reading into trying to keep the noise down with an Indian ringneck. I am getting one next year! I know they are loud birds when they want to be and that is fine by me, not so much by my boyfriend but I have looked into other parrots and the loudness is the only downfall to...

Hello again! Here to ask yet more questions before I get my bird next year haha. So I read that not every bird talks, but Indian ringnecks will more than likely talk if given the proper training and time and effort. Is this true? I really want my ringneck to talk (if it doesn't then I will still...

Hello! So I am getting an Indian ringneck within the next year, one thing that is baffling me a bit is the cage size, bar spacing ect. I have been trying to look for a suitable cage for an Indian ringneck so I can buy it in advance and get it set up before I get my new baby bird. I have decided...

Hello! I am new to this forum and I am planning on getting an Indian ringneck within the next year or two (I would have one now but the bf won't let me yet lol) I already own a cat and a bearded dragon but I feel a bird would bring me so much joy (my other animals do obviously but there's...

Okay so I have had many years of handfeeding experience but this time I’m getting a bit worried. I have a baby indian ringneck that I’m currently handfeeding. The breeder didn’t tell me her age and now ignores my phone calls and texts, I’ve tried countless times to get into contact with her. My...

Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum and I joined to get feedback on this question. I got a 5 month old Indian Ringneck named Dagger (when I first met him he bit me and drew blood, hence the name) about a month ago and I've been taking all the typical advice (no sudden movements, soft kind...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum:) last Thursday we got our first IRN, she is 6 months old and has been hand reared. The lady we got her from warned that she is going through the bluffing stage right now which was fine, BUT the last 3 days she's turned super nasty towards myself (not so much hubby...

Hi guys. My Indian Ringneck, Leo has started itching the tip of his tongue with his beak for about 2 weeks now. I don't know if it could be a sign of sickness? He is malting at the moment so it could be caused by that? Thanks everyone :orange:

Can someone please guess the age and gender of the parrot?

An indian ringneck parrot lives around my house he is very friendly and comes upon calling it had a problem with his legs since it came now today the problem seems to be increased as it can't walk and uses his beak to move around on the floor. It's legs don't seem to work or is something Else...

two-three months ago I bought an indian ringneck, shes 3 years old approx. She was in a home where they banged on her cage and yelled at her to shut up. when i went into the house to pick her up there was a dog chasing after her. Ive had her in my house and shes not aggressive at all. but when i...

I have a African Grey Parrot which is always at home alone for 9 hours a day while I am at work. So I decided to get her some friends. I decided to buy an Indian Ring neck which I have no experience with. I went to more than 1 Avian shop and looked around. I ended up buying 2 IRNs, male and...

Hello all, This is my first time posting here so i hope i dont mess up :S I have owned many budgies in the past and have loved every one of them. However, now i would like to buy a bigger bird as i think i am ready. I have been looking at either a Quaker or an Indian ringneck. I would like to...

I have only ever joined 1 forum ever...this one, so very unsure how it all works..but I'm also new to keeping my very special little bird Sid, he is a Indian redneck I have taken him since the neighbours over the road moved out of there house after eviction. I've had him a year now and is now a...

Hello all. I am stuck between these 2 birds right now and I am looking for some answers from people that have Rock Pebblers and Indian Ringnecks. Both are such beautiful birds and I am willing to wait to get a handed baby. Any questions you can answer would be much appreciated! Do pebblers...

I am having an indian ringneck. He never drinks water nor takes a bath...need help:green2:

Hi all, I'm thinking about showing my Indian Ringneck tomorrow in a local bird show for fun. My only concern is the 'holding cages'. Can Ringnecks catch diseases just by being in the same holding cage another bird has used? I'm a little worried about this. Thoughts? Thanks, -L :)

I'm so upset... Riko was doing really well after I rescued him/her from a family who wasn't able to tame and neglected him. He was completely wild and fearful, but in less than two months he did a huge progress - he was stepping up and riding my shoulder, taking treats from my hands, taking...

Just want to recommend Betsy Woodman's Jana Bibi series. Set in an Indian hill town in the early 1960s, its main character is a Scottish woman with a remarkable, talkative Indian Ringneck Parrot named Mr. Ganguly. Very cute, light reading with great characters (especially Mr. Ganguly!) and a...

So im going to start my saying this is not my first bird. I had a beautiful african grey before who I still love and died due to old age. So after a while over grieving over my previous bird I got myself an indian ringneck from a breeder. He is a male and he was pretty tame when we got him. He...

I need advice! I have a six month old indian ringneck who is a male,we also have a female who is a 2-3 months older and the more dominant of the two. After sitting inside for a few hours tonight with me, our little boy started making a soft but high pitched crying noises. Continuously. And...

Hi, sorry to jump straight into starting a thread but I've got a really time sensitive question that I'd love your opinions on. 6 weeks ago our 5 year old Indian Ringneck, Comet, escaped. We put up flyers and online ads and have went to look at a few found Ringnecks but they were all clearly...

hi, I got a 5 month old soon-to-be-breeding pair of Indian ringnecks last month. they have both had thier wings clipped before we got them:(, but the blue male can still fly:blue2:. the first one i started to train was the male, and he was behaving really well, and so i started training the...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and am very interested in learning more about everyone's experiences with their Indian Rednecks. I had one question I wanted to ask about music. I was wondering if anyone had any experience (positive or negative) with leaving music on for their Ringnecks...

Hi all, I posted an earlier thread about my new 8 month old Indian Ringneck, Remy, that we've now had for four days, since this past Saturday. He's doing pretty well with stepping up training with an occasional hard bite here and there when he is grumpy or tired or doesnt want to focus, but we...

Just bought them 10 days ago...

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and the bird world. I've had my current Indian Ringneck since November, 2011. I believe he is a girl, although I was told when I purchased him that he was a male. Being a softie when it comes to animals, I bought a completely untame, 6 month old ringneck. In...

Hi, my name is Katrina. Today my partner and adopted a 7 week old baby blue/pastel violet male indian ringneck from a breeder. We already have a 12 month old violet male indian ringneck who is getting cheekier and sweeter every day. Our violet is named 'Link' after the character from the...

So there's a bird rescue about an hour and a half away from me and yesterday my family went up their to see their birds because I want to adopt my next bird. I went to look at a Nanday Conure, but she didn't like me very much. So then he showed me some baby yellow indian ringnecks and a baby...

I just got a 2 year old female Indian Ringneck parakeet,she is quiet for the most part during the day but when the sun starts going down she starts squeaking.Then when the sun is fully set she starts making a "car alarm" sound well that's what i call it its her loudest call.Does anyone else's...

I just have to share this story with someone. When a companion bird goes missing it is so much worse than a cat or a dog, anyone will take those animals in, but birds are so often dismissed as wild or in no need of help. You can't help but imagine your feathered baby, starving and cold, out...
