Yeah I do know the cage is a bit small, it was originally the home of my cockatiel, and haven't picked up a bigger cage yet. I'm looking at some of the 180+cm cages on wheels for big parrots on ebay, that way I can fit a second bird in the future. He's never turned his back on me, the photo doesn't ...

Ok, so I've followed your advice on moving the cage, my main concern was, well, I had nothing to sit the cage on to keep it up high away from our cats lol, But I found a filing cabinet we had and well, I think it's a bit better now. Sitting in the lounge, up high off the ground, and he can see most ...

Hey MissK, Thanks for the advice, always appreciated. Its good to know that, even though the birds are older, that they can still pick up small things here and there, ive only had him for a couple of months, but as always, progress takes time :) Below is few pics of his environment, as well as his f...

Hi Guys and Gals, lovers of Indian Ringnecks! Its been quite some time since my last post, so i thought i might throw one up. So, the last post i left, Mario turned out to be quite a bit ill, poor thing had the clap haha. Well, as per the Vets advice, i dosed him with 2 different types of meds for a...

Hi all! Just finished cooking up a nice delicious protein meal for Mario, containing the following: Carrots, peas, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, crushed almonds, some freshly cooked chicken and a couple of eggs. I cooked all the veggies in the microwave for a couple of minutes, while I crushed up som...

Thanks for the wishes,

Yeah, i certainly am grateful i looked into it.

So over the next week, ill be giving him the meds that were prescribed each night, and take him back in about a week.


And hopefully its all good news.

i really hope that this will sort it all out.

What actually happened was, the 2 nights ago I noticed he wasn't happy and calm as he usually is, he looked like he was having some trouble breathing (he could breathe, but breathing heavy) and making weird noises (pffftfp) as well as tail bobbing. So I researched it a bit and found it was all linke...

Turns out its not actually rotting. its actually a normal process they under go (I took him to the VET last night - little bad news, hes a bit sick) but nipping it on the but straight away.

I didn't actually get the pair, though i would have loved to, i just don't have the room. maybe sometime in the future, it would certainly be nice. i actually posted a training update here: http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19269 things have been going great! a lot of progr...

i put on a pair of gardening gloves and just held mine in my hands and just talked to him in a soft voice till he calmed down.

he would bite away, but would soon realize it didn't do anything and actually stopped.

hasn't bitten since.

Hi All, When i first picked up my ringneck, this site was very helpful to me in having a very large amount of information that i use to better understand and make progress with my new ringneck. so i wanted to leave an update, just in case one day someone reads it and it can help them, like so many o...

Hi Guys The last week i noticed something with Mario's Beak, and im a little concerned. as you can see by the photo below, there is sections of his beak that look like its kind of rotting away, i dont know if its rotting or not, because it doesnt seem to cause him discomfort. But he has been grindin...

Hi All, I was walking around the house with my new IRN, and i wandered into the bathroom to grab something, and we have a massive mirror that takes up almost half of the main wall. so a relatively large mirror. and all of a sudden, Mario notices himself in the mirror and starts making the cutest chi...

Hi Guys, Relatively new to the forum, but i wanted to ask. How can i encourage my new IRN to eat his fruit and veg? Ive only had him a few days, and he is about 4 years old (ex breeding bird from an aviary) - and he is my very first indian ring neck. he is reasonably placid, and a little timid, but ...

Alright, Definitely taking this into consideration. I cut up his apple this morning, and mixed it in with his fruit bowl (Though he has access to seeds, i put another container in there with some fruit and stuff) made it readily available. Also put some around the corn and strawberries. He seemed a ...

Hello All, my name is Rhys, Me and my partner have recently acquired ourselves our very first indian ringneck, his name is Mario. I bought him a few days ago from a breeder, he was part of a breeding pair and is about 4 years old. I have had his wings clipped (professionally by an actual vet, not ju...
