    Random biting?! + not wanting to step up!

    My Indian ringneck has been having some weird habits going on for the past week or so. He used to be very scared of me but now he comes over and crawls on me and then starts nibbling at me! The first two nibbles he uses his tongue like he is exploring the feel of my skin and then he pinches! I...

    Which species should I get?

    I'm getting a new baby! the problem is, I don't know which species I should get. The breeder I'm buying from has baby Caiques, Hahn's Macaws, and Indian Ringnecks on the way, so I'll be choosing from those. I did try to rescue before going to a breeder, but the nearest rescue center to me is...

    Hey guys! I haven't posted here in a while unfortunately, I've been super busy. But I have been reading up on posts now and then! Thought I'd post an update on Frankie.

    Jealous much? Any advice on how to stop a jealous parrot?

    My indian ringneck parrot is about 4 years old and becomes very jealous when my cousin comes over. His eyes pin and he bites me. It breaks my heart whenever he becomes aggressive as he has never been like this before, its like he is a totally different bird, normally he is an angel! :( Recently...

    Urgent INDIAN RINGNECK STUCK IN WALL

    I'm posting for my friend. Three hours ago her indian ringneck male named Joplin got through a hole in her wall. She has made two more holes to try and get him out and has had no success. There are multiple levels in her wall and he's very scared. He's on the second story, but the wall section...

    Bird's feathers molting before they are completely preened

    Today my bird molted a second feather that didn't look like it was ready to be molted, as the shaft wasn't preened down all the way. I'm a little concerned because my bird was clipped as a baby and should have just grown these flight feathers in, but is already losing them. (IRN, 13 months) the...

    How do I train a bird that won't take treats from me and hates clickers?

    Hello all, it's me once again, asking for advice. My bird, Hoshi, is 13 months old now and I'm still having trouble with trust. I would absolutely love to train him, however, he won't take treats from me and he hates clickers. When offering a treat, if I get my hand with the treat closer than...

    Is sucralose okay in small amounts?

    I buy "no sugar added" canned fruit and my indian ringneck is obsessed with the canned mandarins. I only give him maybe 2 at most per week. The oranges are drained completely before I offer him the one on top of the can before I eat the rest, so he doesn't come in contact with my saliva. The...

    Looking for Ideas to Help Build Trust

    My entire experience of having a bird has had more downs than ups. From him coming from an abusive breeder, being deathly afraid of me, and barbering his feathers off to well.. he's cute. Please don't misunderstand, I love him to death. I got him at 3 months and he will be one year old next...

    Jealous Lovebird?

    My lovebird, Peach, came to us maybe just over 2 weeks ago. He was getting more settled and comfortable each day, preening us and trying new foods. We brought home our Indian Ringneck a few days ago and since then, Peach will not. Shut. Up. It's not chirping. It's screaming. He also started...

    Blood Feather?

    I was just holding my bird and I noticed this bleeding feather on the inside of his wing. Is it okay? It has a really long shaft and is bloody at the top.

    Weird Behavior

    I have had a small mirror on top of my Indian ringneck's cage for about a month now. He has always been very fearful of me and has been keeping to himself, so I thought giving him a mirror would help pique his curiosity. He started out giving himself kisses and stretching his neck as high as it...

    Cage recommendations

    Hi there! My friend is looking for a cage upgrade for her Indian ringneck, and by upgrade I meant HUGE upgrade. I have the a&e extra large corner cage for my cockatoo, and she wants something around the same size, or bigger. The problem is, we are both having trouble finding the size she wants...

    [Advice] Trying a New Training Method

    Long story short, I have had my Indian Ringneck for 6 months now (got him at 3 months) and he still doesn't trust me and is very afraid of me. He was living in the corner of the cage and bashing into the walls of his cage the moment he saw me for months. I tried my best to go on the normal...

    Sunflower heads safe?

    During the summer, we grew some mini sunflowers (no bigger than 5 inch center). Would it be safe for me to hang a dried/drying sunflower head in my indian ringneck's cage for him to forage at the seeds? My only concern was the pollen, so I figured I'd ask the AA community:)
