Question about wild indian ringneck

[rawiswar2001]

I bought a wild indian ringneck male from a pet shop.... there is a mirror near his cage..... whenever he see himself in the mirror he starts doing mating behaviour... does it mean he need a female? Will he be easily become a breeder pair with female?

There's no guarantee that he would even like any female you brought to him. My IRN is tame, and he does this to my conure but it does NOT mean he wants to mate with her... he's just trying to impress her. It's just part of their nature to display in that matter to the things they like.

If you do get a female, there's a possibility that because he's wild he may just attack her if he feels his territory is being threatened. There's also no need for him to mate, and bringing baby birds into this world is no simple matter. If he ever did successfully breed, there's no guarantee the babies would even live. In the end, you may end up throwing away countless lives just to allow your bird to have sexual satisfaction.

Breeding is very complicated when done ethically and responsibly. I would avoid it if possible.

If your bird is wild-caught it would probably be kinder to allow him the company of a friend. It would also be a great idea to remove the mirror because all it's doing is making him think another bird is there. Mirrors are generally not good toys for birds.

It's possible your bird might mate and breed successfully but you can't know his sex for at least a couple of years when his ring appears (or doesn't). DNA sexing is the only way to know for sure when he's still young.

Hope this helps? Please feel free to ask questions: we're here to help!
