Indian ringneck 'dance'

[Itz_Nadzy]

Hi everyone, I have a green Indian ringneck she is now about 7m old, I hand reared from when she was very little and she adores me...

She sometimes preens me like I'm a bird and does this weird dance at which point she pins her eyes and regurgitates.

I'm not sure why any expert help would be appreciated.

(I'm not sure of it's a he or she but I refer to it as her)

You should not encourage this, you parrot looks sexually frustrated. Regurgitating happened to my ringneck too and after doing some research it can negatively impact its health.

Every time he does this, you should put him in the cage to discourage it!

Thank you for the response.

Isn't she/he a little too young to be sexually frustrated?? She's only 7 months old.


I do discourage it but sometimes if she's playing near me eg. Behind my head or something then she does this and will sometimes regurgitate on my hair .

Also this has been happening for a while now at least since she was 4 months old.

Could it not be something else??
