Coco the Talking Indian Ringneck Parakeet (Parrot) Talking, Kissing and being Cute

Coco was more chatty than normal, this day. Replaying the video I heard different things than I repeated while recording. Oops! Hope you enjoy our discussions.

I'm just now noticing how his pupils dilate almost every time he talks

[@TanyaMieske]

+NuclearNugget Yes, they pin every time he's thinking about or talking. :)

hi, i have one, and when i hand him, he hold on my finger so tight and make a pain for me, he is afraid to fall down. now I'm handing him for 7 days 10 minutes a day. Question: how can i make him relaxing on my hand?

[@TanyaMieske]

It all takes a lot of time and patience in developing trust with any parrot. I was lucky enough to be home with Coco 24/7, so I handled him all day long. He also bit quite hard for the first while. Don't show fear. If you show fear, they will play off of that, lunge and bite every chance they get. I recommend you join a few good parrot pages on Facebook, maybe even just begin by searching for some Indian Ringneck pages. Lots of like minded and experienced bird handlers on FB. Best of luck to you!

It is important to take bird when he was a child so that it is easy to take care

[@PriyankaYadav-df2yn]

waoooo so swt voice i can listen whole day

[@LunaKhatib]

i've been trying to find these type of birds in my area but i cant find them! does anyone know a breeder that sends their birds to the middle east specifically qatar ( a country close to dubai ) this bird is so damn cute and i've been searching for AGES

[@TanyaMieske]

I had someone else comment on another video that they are banned in many areas of the middle east. This may be why you are having difficulty finding one.

[@TanyaMieske]

+Bonnie Nadeau Thank you!

[@7346908]

+Tanya Mieske my parrot is fan of your parrot.

[@TanyaMieske]

+G SAR That's adorable! They do tend to gravitate to certain birds. Mine are much the same. Coco loves Marnie, the blue Indian Ringneck that has some extremely popular videos on here.

[@alokeghosh1841]

my parrot also does like the bird of musician

[@sahreshditta6636]

Coco is so cute how can u get ur parrot to come on your finger?

[@TanyaMieske]

Some do and some don't in my experience. Coco is more of a shoulder boy, whereas my Quaker, Kiki is one to sit on my finger. Repetition, building trust and treats really help!

[@jayesh7803]

Cutie Pie...

[@FordGrrL1]

My ringneck eye pins but hes always nasty when hes doing it. I have heard it can mean good or bad ahaha. Wish my boy was friendly :( he talks and sounds super cute

[@TanyaMieske]

Coco pins his eyes when he's thinking. It's seldom he's aggressive, but he can be a little beaky at times.

[@syedjunaid5718]

kya boolre mitthu i like mitthu

[@wolfpackforever5482]

how much was he?

[@TanyaMieske]

He was $650 in Ontario, Canada in 2012.

[@vedaanshiverma910]

I also have one but he doesn't speak so give me some tips plzzzzzz

[@TanyaMieske]

I have worked from home since the day I adopted Coco, so he has had constant human interaction. I also use a carefully selected compilation of bird videos I've chosen from KZbin that I play for my birds when I am not able to spend that one on one time with them. Repetition and a keen ear are key.

[@andreabyers8956]

Is coco a Lorikeets bird ?

[@TanyaMieske]

Coco is an Indian Ringneck Parakeet.

[@DrHittman]

whats his age can i know plz?

[@TanyaMieske]

He is approximately 5.5-6 years old. I adopted him at just over the age of 1 year.

[@blaynemcnamara4306]

I have a question does coco have any other friends and my ring neck parakeet and coco should meet up no?

[@TanyaMieske]

Unless you know the person you are meeting up with and that they have properly vetted their birds, also not exposed them to others that may not have been properly vetted, I would not recommend. Whenever you introduce new birds into your home it is recommended that they be quarantined for such time that allows proper vetting. For personal reasons (I lost a 6 month old Congo African Grey to Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease), I do not socialize my birds with others and am very careful about re-entry into my home and handling of my own birds after I have been around or handled others.

[@lynsmith158]

how old is your baby I have a 6 month green ringneck

[@TanyaMieske]

Coco is 5.5-6 years old. I adopted him when he was just over 1 year old. His band says 2011, but I do not know the exact hatch date.
