HI everyone,
Is it the norm for irns to start talking when they are 6 months old? Is it ok if they start later, if they are going to talk? Mine has been doing some mumbling, but no word yet. He is 6 months old. He just turned 6 months old on Tuesday. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
talking irns

HI,
Good point!! I would rather have a tame bird.
I could never leave him in his cage all the time.
I'm so used to him being out with me when i'm home.
He is only in his cage when i'm at work or not at home
Thanks,

Leaving them in the cage doesn't guarantee you'll get a talking bird, you may end up with a screaming bird instead. I'd continue with the attention and out of cage time and hope for some words. My IRN said hello and barked like a dog before he was 8 months old and later learned to say his cage mates name Leah, but that's all he ever learned.
My indian ringneck is a wonderful talker and he is with me about 5-6 hours a day. He talks really well, and so does his brother, who is with his owner almost 11 hours a day. Let me tell you, he talks REALLY well! It's almost scary! Keeping them in a cage does not promote talking, rather it hinders them.
Most people believe that keeping them confined to a cage will only make them want to communicate, in turn, making them talk more. This is not true.
A happy healthy ringneck will try to learn as much as he/she can to communicate with you and impress you. Just use different words and talk to him like a child. I promise, he/she will pick up words faster than an IRN left in a cage.
Hope this helps and good topic:D
