[@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.

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 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.

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!

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.

[@rohann266]

I came here because of beak grinding, my neighbours gave me their parrot yesterday for 3 weeks as they r on holiday and i was worried if she is in danger but this made me happy, yesterday she didn't came near me and ran inside the cage but today she was sitting on my shoulder whole day while I was working and slept but in evening she made this sound and also worried about feather preening, i thought she is feeling itchy

[@rohann266]

This helped a lot, worth suscribing u 🤗💖

Beak grinding is normal and just means she’s happy and relaxing. Preening is also normal, it’s just a daily thing birds do to keep their feathers in good condition.

Hello hope you’re having a good day ! But my ringneck is a female and she’s really aggressive to everyone and when we open her cage she flies out and when we want to her put back in she drops to the ground and starts running like a duck and then we have to wrap her in a towel like a burrito. how can we stop her from being aggressive and stop her from flying on of the cage and also let us pick her up ? Her name is NooNoo and we rescued her she was an adult and we had her from four years back.

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

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.

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.

[@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.

I am having a ringneck since 2 years. And as you shown in 3:25, my parrot also do this before I going to pet him. And you are telling that this is female mating behaviour. Then I was shocked because I thought that my parrot is male. Then what it means? Am I mating with my parrot? 😂

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

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.

[@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

Hi! My male IRN is acting too flirty with me, he dances (heart shaped wings), regrutates on my shoulder (he tries on my face but I dont let him) and does little taps with his beak on my head, real mating behaviour and I dont know what to do :( I got him last year and just few months ago he started to bond with me but still wont let me touch him with hands tho he flies to me and stands on me all the time.. I dont want him to get agressive and frustrated but I cant get another bird for him to mate.. what do I do? Please help!❤️

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

It’s a natural thing to do for them because he has obviously picked you as his mate lol. If you’d rather he stopped so it doesn’t lead to any other issues try distracting him immediately with toys, playing with him or training. Keeping him busy during this time as well. Is it spring or is he just being hormonal because of his age? Can you give me more information on how old he is and any other information as well.

[@lea6388]

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn thank you so much! He is around 4 years old. I’m his second home. He was not tamed and I believe not really connected with his previous owner. So I was very happy when he started coming to me and dancing, giving kisses and being really sweet but I read some articles and it seems its not good for him :(

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

@@lea6388 Aww he definitely feels comfortable with you and bonded to you. It could simply be he’s happy in his new home or it could be from hormones due to spring, some birds become hormonal twice a year as well. Ricco is being somewhat hormonal now and it is winter here. The best thing you can do is try to discourage him and distract him. 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. I think he’s just happy with you but it could get worse if you don’t control it. Introduce him to new toys like chew toys etc to keep him busy. Hope it helps. Good luck 😊

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]

@@Riccothegreenpiedirn thanks when would you let him out the cage and how if he is afraid of me and wont let me guide him out the cage ?? He is getting better he lets me put my hand on his cage now widout panicking also i sometimes leave my hand in there for about 45 mins wid some seeds in there eventually he will come and take seeds from my hand. On the advert my wife bought him for me the person said hand reared but after doing my research and keeping an eye on his movements to me he seems like he has just been breeded and wild

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

@@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.

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?

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.

I cannot touch him and he just make noises. No "word" at all. Any suggestion?

Thank you for rescuing him 😊. Sounds like you have bonded with him pretty quickly and gained his trust in no time. It took me 1 year for Ricco to fully trust me and allow head scratches. Just work with him slowly and continue doing what you are doing. I would always approach Ricco when he was above me on his stand or where he could see my hand coming. Whenever he would warn me I would stop and say ok and try again later or another time. Treats and foods are a great way to have them trust hands. Just allow him to go at his pace. You can also try stick training. I myself have never done it, but some say it has worked. Sounds like you are off to a great relationship. I’m sure he will trust you in no time😊

It’s never a good idea to keep a ringneck parrot with any bird in one cage, especially small birds like budgies.

Have you ever faced the similar case with your bird? And also it happened that when my sweetie bird saw my spinner she also got nervous and started flying around with panic scream. Do you find it strange or is it normal? Can you explain me please?

[@Riccothegreenpiedirn]

It means she is afraid of it. My Chico was like this with many things. I would need to take him in another room whenever I vacuumed or did things that would make him afraid. It is very common for birds to be afraid of things like these, especially because they are prey birds. Other pets like dogs and cats are also afraid of unfamiliar objects. Some birds actually like the vacuum, my Ricco shows off anytime I vacuum lol, but many are afraid. I would either take her in another room or put her in her cage for safety. You don’t want her banging into anything if she is panicking. Their natural instinct is to fly to safety and being indoors they could really hurt themselves. My Ricco banged into a window when he heard a noise, he panicked and went straight for the window. Thankfully he was ok but now I always close curtains to be safe. Hope that helps 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.

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.
