[@poppykok5]

Thank you kindly for sharing this adorable video of your little "Jasper"...To my ears, nothing much sounds sweeter than the purrs, the clucks, & even all the random little sounds made by a content, happy and well cared for bird...It's heartwarming & always makes me smile...

[@motonegros]

He trusts you completely, beautiful little bird.

[@mybirdies]

Thanks, glad Jasper helped brighten your day. :)

[@Nitah89]

It looks so nice to have a bird that actually likes being petted ... :)

[@Shebumdevi]

That bird is SO HAPPY!

[@mybirdies]

Thanks everyone. Glad you love Jasper to!

[@Tairygreen]

she looks like a little toy! so cute

[@megadancefitness]

that is so super adorable, your bird is beautiful and sweet, nice to watch!

[@TheWorldIsMineForTheTaking]

so pretty! Love those pinning eyes!

[@009wasteland]

Your bird is so cute/beautiful! The color is gorgeous :D

[@potion52]

what a gorgeous bird!

[@mybirdies]

@loverofmythology Thanks. :o) The pupils changing are a sign emotion from anger, stress or, as in this case, happy.

[@mybirdies]

@CaptinObvious1995 It depends on how tolerable to noise your neighbours are. My inside birds generally only start making noise when it is raining or when they hear me getting their fruit and veg ready. Most of the time they are fairly quiet. Giving plenty of toys and things to do helps prevent boredom.

[@mybirdies]

@barb2birds Thanks! Jasper is a female Lutino Indian Ringneck. The males have a ring around the neck when matured. :o)

[@2Ryled]

OMG the bird suddenly looks possessed w/those eyes lol!

[@WARRIORofHARDCORE]

Oh my god the pupils are so freaky xD I love it

[@BlossomAngel]

Awwww she's so cute! She demands loving and clucks for it! XD

[@mybirdies]

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. lol dyzzispell, I have not seen chocobo from the video game, must check it out. Thanks birdiemom, I have a few more than Jasper here to. :D

[@Upatthetop]

@mybirdies My IRP is very sweet and has a very gentle persona. He really does not make a lot of noise. All he does is randomly shout his name and do the odd scream otherwise he is quiet. :)

[@FiestyCat86]

looks like he's been smoking the good stuff!! lolz, he's so pretty!

[@dyzzispell]

Wow, he totally looks like a chocobo! (from the Final Fantasy video games) He's really cute.

[@mybirdies]

hahaha...rubber chicken...LOL :oP Thanks frighteningbolt. :o) awww...that is so sweet, BabyKittyBird. Should get a video of your parrotlet saying "scratch" when he watches this video. Would be cool to see.

[@mybirdies]

@unity100 I know Jasper is a girl, have said it many times and also in the description of this video and I am well aware she 'wants to mate'. For the record she has a male. Some of my birds behave like this OUTSIDE of breeding times. One hen does this all year round even though she has also a male with her.

[@mybirdies]

@TheCarvingman Yes, you can place them together, but they may not get on. Not all birds are compatible with each other.

[@Avatinfernus]

Awww so pretty, what a goergrous yelllow plumage

[@mybirdies]

Jasper is a female, she is around 2.5 yrs now, (was 2 when video was taken). Jasper was handraised by me, so she is a tame bird. :)

[@mybirdies]

@KidsWithGuns1992 Hand raised or tame birds accept pats unlike most aviary or wild birds, Eyes pin as a sign of emotion, depending on the situation it could be happy/excited or angry. Obviously in this case, she is happy! :o)

[@mybirdies]

@megangatita Thanks, glad you liked it. :o)

[@nicollettePerfect]

@mybirdies thanks for ur help! would it disturbe neighbours if they are outside? are they loud enough to do that?

[@mybirdies]

lol, she has been doing that alot ever since this breeding season. Infact, breeding season is over now but she continues to be loving.....with the eye action lol

[@mybirdies]

@DannyDeVitoLover This footage was taken outside of the breeding times and she was quite young at the time. She continually behaved in this manner for over a year. EVERY time I went near her, she behaved like this, even if I did not touch her. If I walked away from her every time she did this, I would not have a tame ringie any more. I have young birds that behave in this fashion, (although not quite so 'full on'), even at the age of just a few months old.

[@killerbanshe3]

looks so.... round and smoooth!

[@mybirdies]

lol, yes it does seem like that. :)

[@mybirdies]

@HellFlavoured Thanks HelFlavoured, she is my sweet little girl. :o)

[@mybirdies]

@MrTheNicodemus Thank you very much. :o)

[@MultiFirePrincess]

she's like please pet me more

[@fatdevil7]

ITS LIKE YOUR TICKELING HER AND SHES LAUGHING

[@loverofmyths]

wow neon yellow/green! looks cool! and how come it's pupils get all tiny? my birds never do that!

[@ClarissaMaria1]

She is so adorable! I'm waiting on DNA results for our blue IRN, he/she wont be ready to come home until April but I am waitng on pins and needles! Loved the video :)

[@mybirdies]

Thanx peanutbuttersista. :o)

[@mybirdies]

Glad you like her. :o)

[@christianedolezal6575]

gorgeous, made me smile vey big

[@mybirdies]

She sure is. :)

[@gayle2020]

aww what a sweet pretty bird!!! Is this a parakeet?

[@mybirdies]

@pryt86 Jasper is an lutino Indian ringneck. :o)

[@mybirdies]

@nicollettePerfect ummm...not really. Her call can be loud but overall I would not say she is overly loud. Ringies are louder than a cockatiel, but quieter than a sun conure :o)

[@scorpioswrath]

@mybirdies Both my female ringnecks do this year round too.

[@mybirdies]

@BabyKittyBirdie How cool, that is too sweet.

[@zookeeper1958]

Hi has your female gone thru the bluffing stage yet? if she has, can you tell me how you handled it.. thanks

[@mybirdies]

@gayle2020 Thanks. :o) Yes, IRNs come under the classification of parakeet.

[@mybirdies]

@009wasteland Thanks 009wasteland, I think so to. :o)

[@BarbaraDelGiudice]

What a pretty bird! What kind of bird is he?

[@mybirdies]

Is your bird tame? Some birds don't like the touchy feely stuff and would rather be near than cuddley. :)

[@mybirdies]

@thecosmicgoose lol, I have no idea. :oD

[@mybirdies]

Thanks for the comments everyone. :o) pryt86, Jasper is a female Indian Ringneck.

[@vampiregirl321]

aww wat a cutie

[@SuperOneill123]

wait i mean nawwww adorable

[@mybirdies]

@DannyDeVitoLover I fully understand she was coming into breeding mode. I have been keeping and breeding birds for some time. What should I do? She is my pet, should Ignore her and not pay her any attention just because she is in breeding mode?? Do you stop petting a cat or dog when they are in season?? Afterall, any type of physical contact could be taken as teasing to any animal in season!

[@HinataWinry]

AWWW SO CUTE!!

[@mybirdies]

@gelkusum Thanks gelkusum. :o)

[@mybirdies]

From what I understand, yes males & females can display the same behaviour when they are young. It is a 'hit and miss' to try and judge what sex a bird under 18 months old is by behaviour, shape of head, etc. :o)

[@mybirdies]

Thanks guys! :)

[@mybirdies]

@mandypandy1407 I have seen a few females who does do the male heart shaped wings every now and then. How old is your ringneck?

[@MoogieSRO]

A beautiful bird, to be sure. But a little creepy, when you think about what the bird is actually getting out of that... ahem... "stimulation". :)

[@MothraSue]

What a muffin!

[@mybirdies]

@WARRIORofHARDCORE LOL thanks :o)

[@thecosmicgoose]

does she glow under blacklight?

[@chungkingmansions]

so cute an lovely :-)

[@likitty20]

how can you tell if its a female or male?

[@OperationTubeYou]

Lol xD The eyes XDD

[@mybirdies]

@likitty20 From about the age of 2-3 yrs old, males develop a black ring around the neck, females don't. :o) Under 2 it's a 'guessing' game as neither birds do not display the ring. DNA or surgical sexing is the only way. Some people say they can guess a birds sex by behaviour but I have personally seen a mature male, (with ring), display like a hen towards another bird.

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

That's sorta creepy, but I didn't realize birds let you pat them. I have a cockatiel, and he lets me give him a scratch on the necka and round the back, but I thought he was just a weird exception. Also, whys your birds eyes keep dilating then retracting?

[@mybirdies]

@ClarissaMaria1 Thanks. :o) Congrats on your little blue one. Time will go fairly quickly.

[@dogzbody64]

very nice :)

[@mybirdies]

@gayle2020 Yep :o)

[@mybirdies]

They are lovely aren't they? Haha, yeah, it's a bit like, "whoa what are you doing????" lol Sounds like yours could be going through a moult?

[@NaruBlue123456]

My bird cheddar looks just like that :D, Shes really noisy for a girl.

[@pryt86]

wat kind of bird is that

[@fluffybirdie]

@unity100 when a parrot 'bonds' to its owner, they consider you as their lifetime companion and aren't interested in another bird. in the spring- mating season- they'll often lay eggs for you. animals tend to bond more deeply and have more unconditional love than most humans.

[@nicollettePerfect]

is she loud?

[@mybirdies]

U r right orcamistress101, Jasper is a girl! lol That video was taken during the breeding season here. :)

[@darkmania122]

@WARRIORofHARDCORE what is this kind of bird

[@gayle2020]

@mybirdies --IRN= Indian Ringneck????

[@cazsmokinnn]

My IRN cheeko just went mad after listening to this lol

[@hominidae7sp]

@y1A1 so true

[@hominidae7sp]

@callisto9 very true

[@mybirdies]

lol yes she is. :P

[@Superiorpakfan]

@unity100 Dont you mean find her a mate partner

[@DannyDeVitoLover]

My DYH Amazon use to do that to when baby too but I walked away when he did it!!! Now he does it less

[@OperationTubeYou]

It looks like a chicken xD so sweet!

[@7jerryv7]

Jasper is female, correct?

[@WARRIORofHARDCORE]

@darkmania122 Lutino Indian Ringneck

[@samanahali8076]

Cute and.... At the same time

[@DannyDeVitoLover]

@mybirdies you should walk away from her when she does it when she stops go back to her!!! Never pet the back of her only the head!!! Let me know what happens and Good Luck :-)

[@MattLittleIFIP]

Yeah, I think that is more of a "mating" reaction you are seeing there. LOL

[@alie7771]

cute

[@mybirdies]

@annbomb cool. :o)
