Indian Ringneck Parakeets: Species Spotlight

[@robynnmendez9927]

Birds are loud. People need to know things like they bite and they are loud and I love them. If people that sell them were honest that would save a lot of birds from having to be rescued and re-homed.

[@Loveofpets]

That is very true. I have heard breeders say that they don't bite and are quiet but in reality throughout the birds life it will bite for various reasons and scream.

[@robynnmendez9927]

I heard a breeder one time at a show tell a customer that Sun Conure's make good apartment birds. My mouth fell open. That is why birds end up plucking and in rescues.

[@Loveofpets]

How horrible! Just to make a sale and the bird suffers in the end. That's why anyone should research to see what bird is for them. Some people believe what breeders say because they assume they know their breed, some breeders that are good of course tell people but others trying to make a buck won't say anything negative about the bird.

[@robynnmendez9927]

So true. A friend of mine has some birds and I make snuggle tubes I make and any bird she has is so loved. We rostered and I have my 20 year old Amazon name Elliot I am so glad I found your channel. What a treat, thank you.

[@Loveofpets]

Elliot is a cute name.

[@EsilHarp]

13:12 I also have a female IRN (light blue). Every morning I open the shutters to wake her up, open the cage then go cook the breakfast. And when I am cooking, she screams non-stop until I bring her the food... And it better be a tasty meal, or she won't stop screaming until she get something she likes ! Such a spoiled baby... I love her

Dame Esil what do Indian ring neck eats?

[@alexanderkurokawa8834]

@@jhonlee4458 they usually eat a lot of fruits, seeds and nuts in the wild but they can eat the same in captivity, along with other man-made foods like pellets.

[@2degucitas]

Are females like this because of the male bringing them food, or because she sees you as "mom"?

[@Loveofpets]

She sees me as her mate.

Ring necks are so odd. They dont look like any other bird They dont sound like any other bird And they dont act like any other bird They look like a plastic toy, they are so smooth. And they have this very animated way of moving around. Then there is that high pitched voice that sounds like trying to talk wmusing a squeak toy.. What ARE ring necks? They are so unique!

[@pushparani876]

Yes!! It's a sad thing that it's illegal to cage parrots in INDIA!!

[@grantrev-nz4337]

I am glad its illegal , your country has done an intelligent action , i love birds and have an alexandrine , i love her , she loves me , and if i thought she would survive in the wild and find a mate i would let her go. After owning an Indian ring neck , and now an alexandrine , i have become so close and studied birds so much , i now believe humans should never have caged birds. I tears me apart when she shows her natural desire to breed. Its uncontrollable , birds should always live in flocks with 30 - 40 other friends , screaming , playing , and having little birds. If we showed them nothing but respect and caring , wild birds would not be so wild. They would actually interact with us . But over the last few hundred years we have shot them for fun , to stop nesting , to keep away from crops , and some people simply dislike them. When people first arrived in NZ birds walked right up to them. The birds reward for being friendly and interactive was death , or imprisonment in a cage. New Zealand was the land of the birds , before humans discovered their fantastic wilderness Cheers from New Zealand Grant

Thank you so much for your honesty in this video. I was thinking about getting a ringneck, they are so pretty & smart. But I’m 74 yrs. old on a limited income. All I saw in this in video was $ signs. Plus I doubt I would live long enough to take care of a bird like this. I live in a small apartment, with no room for very large or multiple cages. I am so grateful I came across your video. It was the reality check I needed. Again, thank you and best of luck to you and your feathered & 4 legged friends!

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome. A budgie or canary may fit into your lifestyle or you can consider adopting an older bird. Ringnecks however are too loud for an apartment. I am glad to hear my video helped you in choosing a pet bird.

They like higher voices

[@Bdurden892]

I have one of these, and boy do they have a personality. They actually just want affection when they tilt their heads back. Though the video says not to encourage it, you also don't want to neglect affection from a very affectionate bird. You just have to learn its behavior by watching it and think logicallly what he/she needs. In my case, she. A very great pet.

I live to the west of London, England, we have lots of wild Indian Ring Necks here, the green variety. I first noticed them visit our garden about seventeen years ago, but they have been in this country a lot longer than that. Nobody knows how they got here, but once they did they proliferated. They originally had no natural predators but I'm told some have fallen victim to sparrowhawks and other similar birds of prey. They are beautiful but without doubt the loudest birds I have ever encountered.

[@cheri_nailzp8637]

Oh wow I lived in England and seen plenty Indian ringnecks especially the green ones

[@kbee225]

Since Indian ringnecks were popular pets a lot were exported, they have been described as pets in the Roman empire. So it is believed pets that were taken to England probably from back when India was an imperial colony escaped and established a thriving feral population. Since they're very intelligent they fare well in cities, they feed on human scarps and fruits and seeds in urban areas and use tall buildings as nesting sites.

[@compulsiverambler1352]

I have one that we adopted from an elderly and unprepared pet shop purchaser, and although they don't live where I live they do live in London where I work, so I tell people in London who ask about my birds that he is one of the green parrots that wake them up in the morning. The wild ones in London are more hand tame than mine was when we first got him, they land and eat on you in the parks. I think he was probably raised in an avery and first handled by being grabbed out of it to be taken to the pet shop. Now he is affectionate but still hands are the one thing that he wants to initiate contact with, not have approaching him. The wild ones have no fear of hands.

[@DiscoverPARROTS]

I wish 'my' parakeets were as tame as the ones in central London! They wer more tolerant to me in summer, when they were desperate to feed their babies. But now they fly away as soon as I open the door to my garden. It's a time of abundance, when many trees have fruited, so they don't need us so much. You could say that London is a giant aviary with plenty of food! :-)

I have never heard about chilli's hurting a birds stomach. Many people feed chilli peppers to their birds without a problem. I would have to research about this but as far as I know it's not an issue. Is your vet a certified avian vet? I will ask my vet next time I see him.

I was truly shocked to hear his comments on giving chillies to my birds. If you could find out from your vet about the danger (if any ) I’d be very grateful. It’s 7.45 am here in the UK and I’m about to go downstairs to see my boys.

About the loudness: as someone who has previously owned many many birds and only have an IRN now I would like to say that I prefer this species noices the most 😅 for example I never liked cockatiel noices, they are so high pitch that I don't really like to keep them anymore. Macaws made less noice but the noice shook the walls 🤣🤣 IRN noice is the most pleasant in my opinion, he can make noice and it's not bothering me at all I actually like his voice a lot. I think that is something people don't always take to consideration and is something I have learned purely from experience. IRN noice is much nicer than cockatiels and budgies for example. African greys on the other hand make noices that they hear and mine repeated my ex's voice for a long time wich was disturbing to say the least.

Hello Pet Lovers! In my childhood I had a little budgee and he was very friendly and loved me a lot. We showered and ate together. He passed away when he was around 7 years. After a long time of not having birds, yesterday i saw in a petshop a green Indian Ringneck and of course I took him/her home 💖 I watched a lot of videos about birds and how to tame and bond with them. He/she is around 4-6 months and to be honest for me it doesn't matter the gender. Just want for him/her to be happy and to love his life together with us. So, his/her name is Zeko and we are in the first days of living together. Today, accepted to take some seeds from my hand from outside of the cage, and a little slice of carrot. I am looking forward for tips & triks to make him/her sociable and tamed, of course all these with patience 😇🤗💖 thanks for the awesome videos.

I have 2 male IRN and despite being hand-raised, they were NOT hand tame when I got them after weaning. The first few months I had them were a huge struggle between their fear of me and the biting. The more wild one would literally fly to me and just chomp down on me....! It was incredibly frustrating! However, I continued to work with them. Since they are flighted, if they ever bit me, I just gently shook them off and they would fly away. I've had them now for 2 years and they are so much better trained now. I haven't gotten a real bite in a very long time--part of this is that I also know better what the signs are that will LEAD toward the bite, and I don't even permit those signs. They are now two very friendly little birds and they will readily fly over to me, chill with me, preen my hair, and climb all over me. What's more is that they have also turned out to be quite social with other people too as long as I am nearby. :) Take heart and be patient! He will come around eventually :)

Dont worry upto 4 months they behave like stub born teenagers.. Dnt react when he bites u, I tried to stop give attention when bites..so it works most of the time. Try to talk in soothing voice..

[@deadinside6908]

Wendy Wood Stress less, had the exact same issue! Was cute and affectionate as a baby, then started biting and being nasty/grumpy all the time. Although that didn't stop us from giving him lots of love and affection. He has now grown out of this stage after about 6 to 10 months of it, and is once again a cute & loving happy little boy. Our bond grows stronger each day that comes by, so it was well worth the patience. Very rewarding.

Just purchased one for my mom. Hopefully everything goes well. Lots to learn. Great video.

I'm getting a ringneck really soon! She's so pretty! She's a pale blue pallid (white head) and she has like pied wings

[@tayiishaa]

ooh she sounds beautiful!

[@debbieprice7133]

I Love Indian Ringnecks, thank you for sharing Rio.. what a sweet video with good information

[@kathayes221]

This was so helpful! I was unsure of my IRN’s gender but now I’m 100% positive it’s a girl. She displays the same way and has no ring. She’s my only bird and although I am her primary caretaker, she loves my husband. Thanks!

[@MrNaveen1111]

I'm from India and they are all around my home on tress but I can't keep them as its illegal in india to keep them in home as a pet.. beautiful birds and amazing colours.. I love to watch them in real

[@orchidcasabyelizabeth3299]

Thank you for sharing i have a baby indian ringneck. And this is the exact video i was looking for. Very informative

[@Karrie732]

She is beautiful! I had an African Grey Parrot for 31 years! I raised her since she was 2 months old. Sadly she passed away 5 years ago from heart disease. Very sad & we still miss her. We are in the process of purchasing an Indian Ringneck (blue male). The breeder said he will let us pick her up when she is fully weaned off being hand fed. I know there is a huge difference between the grey & ringneck. Is there any other advise you can offer? Thank you for your awesome videos!

[@kimboydstonartanddesign]

Rio was so cute playing with her ball , I didn't know birds like her would do that kind of playing 😊

[@anupmasrivastav3742]

These love guava. I have had them for 20 years... one was with me for 11 years. Others flew away as they found opportunity... They love "black gram" soaked in water. These grams have to be soaked for 3-5 hours. Then can even be stored in fridge for 2-3 days. I used to feed my parrots for 4-5 times on black gram. In India... we consider black gram a must food for parrots.

[@janeorlando2893]

I don't have an Indian ring neck parakeet I have a budgie parakeet. But I love learning about all birds. Ps my birds name is Scooby and he likes bird videos too ♡

[@AsadSaeed88]

I love parrots since I was a kid. My uncle got us a green ringneck (1988) with clipped wings, however as her wings grew, she just flew away. My sister-in law had a ringneck (2009) as well who was very smart. She knew how to unlock her cage and one time my mum took her out for some sun bathing and fresh air, so she just opened the door and left us. Then I got myself a ringneck (2013) again. She was amazing, I had her loose in the kitchen because I don't believe in caging hand tamed parrots. She usually sits on the window bars during night, however a cat managed to attack her. I took her to vet but she didn't survive. Now after 6 years, I've finally bought myself a young pair of green ringnecks (2019). Other than Ringnecks, I have had a beautiful Alexandrian parrot, Timneh Grey and Australian budgies. Sorry about the long story, I love your video and channel.

[@Loveofpets]

Oh wow, what a story and a sad story about those birds. Now that you have new birds you know how to keep them safe.

[@kathybrinker3446]

Thank you for the video, I am getting my baby in May, can't wait.

[@loveyourparrot_]

What a cutie. I love my ringnecks. I have a boy and a girl that I adopted and they needed special care for a few years. Hippo and Peeps have really come along way and are somewhat friendly.

[@michelleortiz4059]

Loveyourparrot Education hi how are you. Can you tell me where I can adopt one . If you can tell me where you went to get them. I’m in NYC but let me know where

[@Loveofpets]

I am not sure. Google on the internet for bird rescues or in the animal pounds in your area.

[@theresazemba7177]

I HAVE A PURPLE RINGNECK.Very good talker.

[@karenbrown4524]

Rio is simply gorgeous, ❤❤❤ and her behavior is absolutely adorable! Her bathing routines are simply devine! I've got a sweet sweet Senegal who turned 19 this spring! He hates men and I suppose I do too now! 😆 His name is Forrest and he isn't clipped either. He loves flying and he's absolutely fabulous at it. Which pellets does Rio enjoy? Well, I absolutely enjoyed your video and meeting sweet Rio, so we're new subscribers.

[@anupmasrivastav3742]

My all parrots loved an Indian dessert - kaju ki barfi. Though I gave them this occasionally as it's heavy to digest.
