INDIAN RINGNECK PARROT BODY LANGUAGE (part 2) 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/np_HiGmpg9CsZsk

[@crystalwaterhouse5680]

I've only let my Indian ring neck out once inside the house because I had to put 2 toys inside the cage and let him or her out to walk around but I've had the bird since I've got the bird as a baby but I've been told it's a boy because of the black line around it's neck but is that true

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

@@crystalwaterhouse5680 is there a reason you are not taking out your bird from the cage? Your bird needs to come out of the cage daily and should never be locked in a cage all the time. This is not healthy for your bird at all, this can lead to many health and mental issues long term.

First time I saw my parrot clearing his crop, I was legitimately terrified. I was like "Are you choking? Do you need water? Do you have hiccups? DO NOT WALK TOWARDS THE LIGHT"

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

It can be so scary when you see it for the first time, I thought the same thing lol.

[@SutekhTheDestroyer]

We got our ringneck last July, when he was just 3 months old. At first he would just sit in the corner of his cage, terrified, and would totally freak out whenever we cleaned him out or changed his food/water. It took about 2 months of _very_ gentle movements and patience but now he loves nothing more than being around his humans; he loves to sit on my shoulder while I'm pottering around the house, we share food, and he even sleeps on my hand sometimes (although I'm not yet permitted to give scritches). They are such wonderful companions and it makes my heart sing whenever he picks up a new word/sound 🐦❤

I loved, and needed this, so much!! We just got two ringnecks yesterday and I’ve already noticed some of the behaviors you covered in this video but didn’t know what they all meant! I feel much more at ease knowing now and knowing that they’re content. I’m definitely going to have to set a play space up on top of their cage! I can’t yet tell if they’re male or female yet, as they’re only 3 months or so, but Shakespeare and Blue are definitely curious and do really well with being handled. I’ve noticed Shakespeare won’t yet let me give him little rubs on his head or neck like Blue but he will now let me rub the front a little when I couldn’t do that yesterday so progress! They’re still quiet, except for their little spats (which have decreased since yesterday too, really since we got them home) but Blue started singing a little note or two and it’s so pretty! Lol. Thank you so much for these videos and you certainly have a new subscriber!

I like the relaxed way of your detailed record concerning the body language with those perfect picture examples. Watching vids of other ringneck owners, I sometimes have the feeling, they should not "overlove" their pet, know what i mean. Your video can be helpful here. I´d like to make a similar video about the meaning of all the squeeks and chirps they do. I´m sure there are 10 or more different calls, I learned to interpret. (But I don´t have recorded material) Perhaps you can use this as an idea for your next video.

It really depends what you are looking for, they are definitely not for everyone and can be difficult for some. If you haven’t already you may want to watch my video I did on Expectations of owning a Ringneck parrot VS Reality and what you see on social media. After watching the video I’d also recommend reading all the comments and go on Facebook pages or parrot forums to get other opinions and experiences. If you are willing to put in the work and have no expectations of them, they just might be the right fit for you, but do as much research first beforehand.

If your bird is doing this she is most likely a female lol. Just means she’s excited and flirting with you, stay away from her body and only pet her head. How old is she? Although this behaviour is normal try to discourage her from doing it if she is doing it all the time, it could cause her to lay eggs if she is hormonal and showing other hormonal behaviours.

She’s just sitting on her cage that I got for her for it going on the go when I tried to teach her step up. She bit my finger, but I wasn’t bleeding, I figured I was probably going to fast.

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

Congratulations on your new Ringneck parrot. IRN’s are much different in comparison to conures and budgies, but seeing as your not new to birds you will be fine. The most important thing is to not have expectations and keep in mind every bird is different. That being said it is best to take things slow and don’t push her into anything she doesn’t feel comfortable with as you will lose her trust. If you are on Instagram or Facebook DM me and I’ll send you some other links to videos I have done that may help you, or you can find them in my playlist.

Hi we are getting a male IRN baby very soon. We had an African Grey Parrot for 31 years (since she was a baby) sadly she passed from heart disease. She was very nice & never bit. I’ve read IRN can be snippy especially during adolescence, as well as not liking to be touched by humans. Any advice on how to handle these 2 major fi cents I have? Thank you in advance. ❤

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your African Grey, after 31 years that must’ve been so difficult. Every IRN will be different, I just recommend getting them used to things like touches, hands, noises and pretty much introduce them to anything as a baby. I regret not travelling more with Ricco as a baby in a car and have him used to being in other new surroundings and homes for travelling purposes. Other than that it’s all about learning the behaviour of your bird and understanding what they like or dislike. Although Ricco is a sweetheart he still will bite when over excited and playing or doesn’t want scratches anymore, but I’ve learned to pick up on it ahead of time however sometimes it’s unavoidable. Hope that helps.

[@Karrie732]

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn this helps a lot thank you‼️ African Grey parrots are very strong & Rowdy (my girl RIP) only bit me once on accident when she was startled at the vet. It drew blood but it was an accident. It was so difficult when she passed away. She was on her perch, fell off & was flapping her wings at the bottom of her cage. I scooped her up held her & she passed in my arms. I started giving her mouth to mouth. I brought her to the vet we’ve had since she was a baby. He offered to do a free necropsy on her. He said she passed from heart disease I guess it’s the #1 thing birds in captivity pass away from. There are no tests to check for this and she was healthy the night before.

if my bird came from an aviary and was caged with other birds,would it be better for him if I got him a friend?

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

It’s difficult to say. Not all birds get a long, really depends on the bird. He may have been bonded to a bird but the new bird may not except him. If you do I would highly recommend having them in separate cages to be safe .

[@juliesmith5567]

What it is the best way to get them tame and to try get them out of the cage I know it takes a while but do you think

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

If your bird is very afraid and flapping all over the place when you go near the cage you need to work with him more. I would use treats and food to gain his trust. You can leave it through the bars for now and walk away until he is comfortable enough to come close to you in his cage. Whatever you do don’t make any fast movements, talk softly and sit at the cage level without to much eye contact. Just talk to him every day and be around him in the same room so he sees you mean no harm. Eventually if you want to take him out of the cage you will need to do this in a room that is safe so he doesn’t hurt himself like windows & mirrors. It can be dangerous for them when they get scared, if there is a possibility that he could really injure himself you may need to trim his wings slightly for now. I would only allow someone who knows what they are doing to do this, you can let them grow in after. Hope that helps.

Sounds like she is afraid as well. It’s best to work with her slowly to gain her trust. Try to find out what her favourite treats or foods are and only use these to gain her trust when going up to her cage. You need to talk softly and move slowly with whatever you do. Try sitting near her cage and just talk to her softly and show her that you don’t mean any harm and at the same time offer her treats, this will take time and patience. Afterwards when she sees that you are the one with good food use that to get her back in the cage, but you can only give her that treat at bedtime. You can also try searching videos on how to help with a fearful bird. Hope that helps for now.

My Indian ring neck male is 12 weeks old. He often lands on my head and hates me taking him off. He growls/ bites. Lately he has been randomly lunging and biting my face (lips) quite painfully. It’s quite upsetting. Do you have any advice or tips to stop this behaviour? Should I give in and let him stay on my head?

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

I’m surprised that he is displaying such an aggressive behaviour at this age. I’d definitely not allow him on your head or shoulders for that matter for now. Have you showed him that you are fearful of him when he does bite? As difficult as it may be it’s important not to show any reaction to his bites or bad behaviour, it will just in courage him to act like this more and it will get more difficult as he matures. Simply put him down and walk away to give him a time out. Diet and lack of sleep can also contribute to certain behaviours.

Learning a lot from your tutorials, TY, but I still cant find the answer of why my Sun Conure screams every time I get up and leave, I come back and he stops, I can’t go anywhere without him screaming. 😮

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

Believe it or not this is how they train us lol. Birds will usually scream for a reason, sounds like he is screaming for your attention because he looks at you as part of his flock. I always recommend just answering him so he can hear you but don’t run back to him, by continuing to do so he will learn that if he screams you will come running. Is he full flighted?

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

How long have you had your birds for? Also have they always been like this? When you are doing any kind of movement it always needs to be done slowly. Many birds are afraid of hands and need to gain trust before they will trust you or especially your hand.

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

It does take time to build trust. Have you tried gaining his trust while he’s in the cage with treats? Also if you do decide to let him out you want to have him in a safe contained room with all mirrors, widows covered incase he panics. Also look around the room and be sure it is safe, maybe provide him something to land on as well besides his cage.

The long tail should’ve grown back by now. Was he wild or hand raised. It does take time to gain trust. Try to do everything slowly when approaching his cage. Also it’s best to keep the cage at eye level so they don’t get afraid and if you can have it in a corner. Have you tried using his favourite treats to gain his trust?

@Riccothegreenpiedirn I brought him off a breeder , personally I don't think he was hand reared

[@boowhome95]

I have an African male that I’ve had for almost 7 years . I got him and a female together, after about 2 years I had to give the female away , and I’ve tried to gain trust with him but he just refuses to have anything to do with me! If I come neer he will fly to the other side of the cage or room . Why hasn’t he got use to me ? I have a green cheek and he sees me enter act with him and he loves me and does tricks and talks and flys to me wherever I am . But I can’t get my ringneck to like me or trust me, he did interact with me in the beginning, but now he does not!

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

If your ringneck parrot was bonded to the female it will take time. He could be depressed and stressed. Just take your time and everything you do, do it slowly and talk quietly. You can use his favourite treats to gain his trust, but only use these for this purpose. Just leave it between the bars and walk away, as he starts to trust you more you can sit near the cage and let him see you mean no harm. Hopefully in time he will take it from your hand. But this will all take time and patience.

[@boowhome95]

I sleep in the room with my birds he will come out and stand on his cage door and watch me while I’m laying here on my bed, but he won’t take food from me. He will chop and make noise and tell my Conyer comes and gets the food from me and takes it to him. I put treats in his cage cage and leave and the doors are always open. I’m always in my room with him. It’s been 7 years now. I don’t think he’s ever going to forgive me. I do everything slowly, when I put my hand in the cage to get the food bowl he was stay right there he won’t move , but if I try to interact with him he will go to the other side of the cage to get away from me. It’s just weird. I talk to him and tell him how much I love him and I do love him so much he’s such a gentle bird and he’s so so beautiful, I just want to interact with him like I do with my little green cheek. Thank you so much for replying. I wish I could find him somebody that can breakthrough to him to see if he will trust I just want him to be happy

[@sibrahnawaid6831]

Is ricco a female? Is there any difference between male and female behaviours?

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

Yes Ricco is a male. Once matured they have a mating behaviour that is different as you saw in this video. I’m in the process of doing a upgraded video on how to tell the difference between them, but it may take me a couple of weeks because I’m still working on another video. When they are young they will sometimes do both behaviours, so sometimes it’s difficult to tell.

Hi there my indian ring neck is 4 months old and i have had him for 1 month 2 weeks please give me advice on how to gain his trust and shall i get his wings clipped seem to flutter every time i come near his cage

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

It takes time to gain trust and build a bond. Use food as a way to build trust and anything you do, do it slowly and talk softly. Try sitting near his cage every day and talk softly without eye contact, but sit far enough so your not making him afraid. It’s a difficult decision about wing clipping, but if it’s for the bird’s safety you could and allow them to grow back in after. Make sure that wherever you take him for a wing clip they do it properly and not to short, you still want him to be able to glide and land properly otherwise he could hurt himself. If you decide not to clip his wings, be sure to make your house safe when you let him out if the cage especially if he’s afraid he could bang into mirrors and windows. Also never put your hand in the cage for now, let him warm up to you slowly and work at his pace, once you ruin the trust it’s difficult to get it back and he might become aggressive out of fear. Is he hand fed or wild?

@@qazali5744 that’s amazing, such great news. I would keep working with him and if you are planning on taking him out I would try to keep him in a safe room where he can’t hurt himself, like windows, mirrors etc. You could also do wing clipping to keep him safe for now. I would keep his favourite foods and don’t feed him those, keep those for only training. Is he on a all seed diet or pellets as well? Does he eat vegetables and fruits? I keep walnuts and almonds as treats only for Ricco.

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

@@qazali5744 Oh no, hopefully he’s ok. Are you trying to convert him to pellets? If so this needs to be done slowly . Eventually once he enjoys pellets you can feed him the seeds as treats. Try to go with natural pellets with no colour and natural preservatives. If he’s on a seed diet for now he definitely needs greens and vegetables, Vegetables is a very important part of their diet. I have a video in my playlist on how to introduce them to unfamiliar foods like pellets and vegetables. I also have a video for safe foods and diet for a ringneck parrot. You can find both in my playlist under educational videos for ringneck parrots, hopefully they will help you.

Birds bite for many reasons, so it’s important to understand what is causing your bird to bite. He could be afraid, you may be forcing your bird to do things it doesn’t want to. Trust takes time to build and forcing your bird to do anything will cause them to bite and become fearful and aggressive.

You could introduce a male for breeding but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really understand what it takes. Also if your female does not except the male the females are known to become very aggressive towards the males and sometimes kill them especially if she is bonded with you. She looks at you as part of her flock so bringing in another bird would probably make her stressful and aggressive. It would be a chance that you take, but I’d be to worried.

If you do decide to get another bird make sure to always quarantine the new bird for at least 14 days or longer and keep them away from your bird in a separate cage. You will also need to introduce them slowly and see how it goes. She may love the new bird or she might not like the bird at all, you really never know.

If you see it’s becoming a issue where he is looking for dark spaces and behaviours of wanting to mate try to cut down in sunlight and rich foods.
