Hi all - new to this forum! I have 2 Indian Ringnecks, 1 yellow female approx. 9 months and 1 yellow/green male approx. 8 months. We were told by the breeder that the female was a male, however we did a DNA test and it turns out she is indeed a female. We have had had her since she was 12 weeks...

I just wanted to share the chatter that my IRN frequently does to give people thinking about getting an IRN an idea of the everyday noise level. This video does NOT include their high pitch/volume screams, which I think sounds like a loud laser gun (pew pew). Everything they do is cute but...

Indian ring neck or African ring neck? I got Kiko when he was almost 1 month old and his beak was kind of bright. He’s 4 months old now. Can anyone please help me out. Ps: I have an Indian ring neck named peeko he’s an adult (I got him as an adult 1 year ago) and he checks out every details...

Two years ago my parents decided to get an Indian ringneck parrot, Jolly, one week after the unfortunate passing of our loved IRN Judy who died at 23 years of age. They wanted to get a male parrot as they're known to be friendlier and more active, however after having Jolly for a while, she...

Hi guys! My IRN-- Baby blue-- has been a great girl since I've last posted. She's stubborn, doesn't really talk, but is super cute and fun to be around. When I first got Baby blue, the best way for me to connect with her was to play parrot videos on my phone, and it was the easiest way to...

Hello everyone. I have been the owner of my green IRN Chief for about 6 months now and I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm finding him impossible to tame in any way. If I try target training, he flees the stick, if I feed him treats, he snatches them and runs off to his corner; he used...

Missy is 10 weeks old, nearly finished weaning - down to one top up a day now - if that. She loves peas and corn, cooked egg ( still am thinking cannibal with this)and some seeds and fruit and she is my only bird so what do I feed her and is it something that can be frozen in batches for thawing...

I recently adopted a 12yr old IRN when his owners couldn't keep him due to noise and small children. Indy is a lovely bird, talkative and happy to step up and hang out on my hand. A bit cage aggressive, but he's all bluff. The big problem, Indy won't fly. For the last three years he was kept in...

I have only had my Indian Ringneck Thor for 4 days and I feel like we bonded so much already! He's only 3 months old but he's so smart and he learns things really quickly. In these 4 days that I've had him he's already getting in and out of his cage by himself, flying on my shoulders and on...

Sorry for the super long post in advance. Max meeting Honey has been...interesting. Quarantine ended early because I was cleaning and I accidentally left the door open and Max flew in (he has free reign of the house). 10 mins in, I walk in to see Max on top of Honey’s cage, looking over. He...

We have had our, presumably male, IRN for over 3 and a half years. He was rescued from an dirty house that was overcrowded with many birds. When we rescued him we were told he was 6 months old. After all this time, he has yet to get his ring - making me believe he might in fact be a she...

New joiner to the club - IRN MUMMY Hi There :) I am a newbie parrot/parakeet mum (can someone please clarify this, some articles state Indian Ring Necks are Parrots, others Parakeets?!). I own a male and female IRN - bought them off a breeder (Big mistake, I know, but I'm hoping I can give...
