Young ringneck

[Dar68]

Hi all i have a young ringneck about 12weeks old i got him 5 days ago now, he is happy and eating well but my concern is i haven't heard him make any sort of noise at all yet, should i be concerned?

Not at all. Be patient he/she will be making noise when they are comfortable

He’s probably still adjusting to his new environment. If he’s acting okay and eating, he’s still just settling in. Congratulations on your new friend!

I have a wild caught ARN, and she hardly ever makes any noise. I do love it when she does! But she's pretty quiet! She's been with me for several years. Actually, I've honestly never seen her drink.... Eating, yes, but not drinking! And I know she uses her water dish!

Your ringneck is still rather new and could still be settling in. I agree, give it time as long as your baby is healthy, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. If your baby appears sick/lethargic, do take him or her to a vet!

Sounds like all is well with him, congrats on the new friend! It took my IRN a week or so to start vocalizing when he first came home, but now he's a chatterbox.
