How to TAME AND TRAIN a Timid Indian Ringneck Parrot

Touché is a two year old indian ringneck given up by his first owner because his owner was ready to move on from birds, and did not like him. I have 3 months to make Touché a bird that someone wants to adopt to their forever home. Adopt a bird in need via roniesloveofbirds.com/ which is where I got Touche. Many more birds are in need!

Its illegal to have this parrot in India , if found caged , 2 years jail time 🙈

I got an indian ringneck because I absolutely adore them, i love how they look, sound, their flight ability. You name it. My ringneck, Snips, is definitely happy with the company but doesn’t want anything to do with hands, which is no trouble atall, she goes to bed at night on her own, i know where ill find her at any point in the day. She isnt a chewer, shes more of an observer, she will sit on a makeshift perch i made out of my wardrobe and sit and watch the world go by out the window, or will hang out on or in her cage, has zero interest in destroying anything (but has plenty opportunities to do so) she will sleep, preen and eat while im around. Only thing is, she was cage bound all her life til i came along, so has a fear of being closed into her cage. Which is why i keep her “cageless” she has a cage and uses it to eat and sleep in. She is not responsive to target training, which i know many, if not all, of you will suggest. Theres no doubt in my mind that i have a neglected and abused bird. On the plus side though, she came with all her feathers intact with zero sign of plucking.

Ringnecks are very wild, but very motivated and energetic birds. I’ve worked with a lot of birds before, but Niko, my ringneck, has been my absolute favorite to train and bond with. He’ll do just about ANYTHING for a banana chip or a pine nut, and he’s always enthusiastic about training. Ringnecks not being cuddly, at least from my experience, is a myth. Niko loves to cuddle, he’ll sit right up on my neck, they are just very selective with who they will and won’t cuddle with.

[@rossco3603]

Oh I know more than a few ringneck owners who would kill for their bird to be like touché. He's not even close to being a problem bird luckily for you.

[@user-bw4fs8rb9o]

In answer to your question 2 yrs ago. It might of helped if you played with him. They love to play peekaboo, which is why he loved training. They love toys and puzzles and they love that they make you happy. When being held from a baby on they want to be on you. They are very social with everyone that will play peekaboo with them. They don't just say it.. they love the whole game. Hiding and popping up. They are fun

[@sweetpea7180]

Okay, so... I wanted an Indian ringneck for a while because of the videos I saw online of their bubbly silly character. All the ones I watch love their owners, give kisses, will sit on hands etc. Mine 100% is NOT like that. He hates hands so much! He will eat from my hand, but that's it. I tried to stick train but he's even more petrified of sticks!!! I've now had him for 6 years, he is getting better qith my hands being near him, slowly thankfully

[@marydupureur1947]

I have an Indian ringneck female.she finally allows me to pet her but I've tried to get her to step up but she refuses to. I got her from a breeder. I don't even think she was a year old when I got her. she's definitely gotten more friendly with me but as for anyone else she's like nope I'm gonna bite you which I have learned. when I let her out of her cage she will run over and bite my toe. it's like she thinks it's a game.

[@donaldhope2858]

I got my Indian ring neck from another person that didn’t want her anymore because 1)she wasn’t talking & 2)too much to handle with a cockatoo. so I took this bird in,training her to me is little slow,but otherwise she’s sweet bird & she’s as vocal as portrayed to me. dumpling trusts me enough to take a bite of banana & most weekends I’ll sit with her and my other birds and pass the banana around taking bites.

[@MilosAdventure]

I simply love everything about them. From them long gorgeous tails, to how animated they can be. I’ve had ringnecks growing up, but never intuitive to their dietary needs and proper care, as I was young. 5 years ago. I decided to get Milo and it’s been such a joy having him around. They are challenging birds to have. You can either get a super chill ringneck, or a very high maintenance bird, which was my case. The key to owning any parrot is observing and respecting their boundaries.

[@vladimirkudra4251]

It's not that they're not cuddly, they just have their own 'I need cuddles' moment a couple of times a week. We have an IRN and he is extremely social and always wants to be around people, but doesn't really enjoy to be touched and that's fine with us. The truth is, we didn't really want an IRN, we wanted a Patagonian Conure coz cuddling :D Things didn't work out and I couldn't wait for another Patagonian, so I acted on impulse and bought an IRN. BEST DECISION EVER :D He's been with us for three years, he's bilingual :D, super talkative, completely freeflighted(he's outside in our back yard all day long, he does fly around the neighborhood but never lands anywhere else except in our back yard and this behavior wasn't trained, we're still shocked about it :D), and surprisingly, not that interested in destroying everything... except smartphones :D He's flying skills are amazing, I just wish I had better camera recording skills to catch all of his air shenanigans on video.

[@Poolpuppies3]

I just got my ringneck today!

[@citizenearth71]

He's very far from home but is in great hands with you! Stay blessed, both birdie and family! Love from India!

[@MyJAG12345]

I found that my male Ringneck loves having bird friends and I think they do better with a flock. When I met Touche at Ronie's he was talking and so interested in my Ringneck I had brought for a nail trim he was so cute. My Ringneck learned a lot from observing which they enjoy doing. I kind of like that they are independent but enjoy being near you. Love seeing Touche and Lefty again.

[@bkm2797]

Funny when they talk it's as if they ingested helium, really cute. I've also noticed Ringnecks and Mustache parakeets have an extreme dislike of fingers wanting to rub their little heads, or any other part of their body, sure their may be exceptions to this rule. I remember Touché and Lefty and hope both are doing great with their new families. Thanks for the upload, see you soon.

[@behemothoferebus4295]

My first Indian ringneck was a rescue, I had no experience with them previously. She was injured, wings got crushed by a child of the previous owner.

[@kahnawanna299]

1st time Indian Ringneck owner. My birds chose a Ringneck based on lots of breed specific videos. He only cuddles with me after the flock has gone to bed. Doesn't like to be handled or hands over head. Clipped wings early to facilitate communication and building trust. His first words, GOOD BOY, says it loud and proud every time! Has been more cuddly since moving him into a HUGE cage with a male Dusky Conure, who is a serious cuddler.

[@YouaH88]

I got an Indian Ringneck because I love their voice and didn't want a needy/Velcro bird. But my IRN is super attached to my husband and I and loves to cuddle.
