    Tail length

    Hi everyone! Before creating a thread I tried researching on this topic, but didn’t really find anything. At what age ringnecks usually get their full length tail? Here’s a bribe :D

    Eating dry poop?

    Hi! So another minor issue with my IRN, Zazu. He picks up dry poop and eat it and sometimes it’s his own, sometimes it’s my cockatiel’s :depressed: As much as I try my best cleaning their droppings in the living room whenever I see it, sometimes I miss a couple. It gets dry and my poop-eater...

    A very weird situation

    Hi everyone! Recently Zazu became very interested in my feet, it’s kinda creepy :hilarious: His eyes start pinning and even though he’s only 4 months old, he makes heart wings and regurgitates (eats it himself though):wacky: After that he starts “exploring” my toes and nips and then bites it...

    Most affectionate bird?

    The bird doesn’t have to snuggle with me or nuzzle into my neck, just sit on my shoulder and hang out. I’ve done a lot of research on the care of these birds but I wanted to ask the opinions of actual bird owners on the personality. So which one forms a stronger bond/ is more affectionate...

    IRN would not eat inside his cage

    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...

    Please share your experience

    Hello everyone. I wish my first thread would be a happier one, but it’s not. I own a beautiful yellow cockatiel -Walad and Indian ringneck- Zazu. so three days ago I started noticing some bald spots on Zazu’s head above the nostrils. I thought it was because of hanging on the cage bars and...

    How old was your ringneck when they got their ring?

    Hello! My IRN just turned 2 in March and hasn't gotten his ring yet, he is DNA-sexed. He hasn't shown any female behavior, so I'm sure he is just a late bloomer. I was curious if anyone here had a late bloomer, too!

    GCC and IRN

    I have been planing on getting a new bird after having owned cockatiels. I couldn’t decide between IRN and GCC. I was thinking of getting both. I have found each that have been hand fed and tame. Both are around 12 weeks. I figure they will need separate cages but my concern is will they be...

    My poor little baby

    I decided to call this very nice lady that goes to your house and grooms your birdies because Winnie hasn’t been groomed for a while and I only used to do nails but now I did beak too because his was way too sharp. Of course I didn’t touch my baby’s wings because I love seeing him fly :heart...

    I can't tell whether my bird is an Alexandrine or an IRN, help??

    My bird is 9 months old and I've presumed he is an Alexandrine Parakeet since that's what I was told when I got him, however, now that I look at more Alexandrine Parakeet images he doesn't seem to have that red spot on his wings like in the images I've seen. Sure, I understand not having the...

    My parrot hurt her foot! :sad4: I don’t know how it happened she was just sitting on the TV and I noticed she was moving around a lot as if she was losing balance so I looked at her and saw she kept touching her foot.

    IRN Feathers Changing Color

    Body marks?

    Hey guys I'm a little concerned on why my Ringneck has these black lines on his stomach is this normal?. He's out most of the time throughout the day and I usually have him busy as some of you may find him familiar. Can this be a sign of feather plucking I don't think so because he's usually...
