Some of you probably dont remember me, nor did i expect you to. But typhon is also as loud as possible in the morning and sometimes just randomly throughout the day. Plus, he keeps launching his food out of his bowl whenever i give him fresh food, i dont know why. He throws everything...even his pre...

Due to a family problem, we are taking care of my aunts 2 shih tzus temporarily. He seems interested and has no problem coming face to face and these dogs...i dont think will harm him. Anyway, he watches me play with them and calls for me. He seems more active and his feathers arent all roughed up n...

Since i started work he has come around a bit. When i walk through the front door and walk into the living room, he jumps onto the cage door and waits for me to open it so he can play. However, when he is on his cage, he seems to still want to bite me. But if he is on the floor playing and i walk up...

He likes to chew on rubber-like toys more than anything and his ball, which he cant really damage. But i guess he likes the softer toys because it feels good to bite on them since they just bend to his bite? He gets really into chewing on them sometimes, making noises, climbing on them, etc. The onl...

As far as playing goes, Typhon did it "right out of the box". Although a lot of times he just seemed to be angry at the toy and was just fighting with it rather than playing with it. But he did play at a month. I notice you have newspaper on his stand, do you have a problem with him trying to eat it...

Eh, nothing has really changed with him. Except hes been getting the nerve up to venture into the kitchen when were eating. I guess he likes watching his ball bounce on the kitchen floor because when he comes in the kitchen, the first thing he does is grab his ball and toss it across the floor, then...

With all this "Bluffing" business Typhons been going through, ive been trying to return to normal with him. Today i went into the living room and grabbed some of his toys NOT in his cage, laid them on the floor, opened his cage, sat down, and waited to see if hed come out. He did and jumped onto the...

Oh good this gives me a little bit of relief about my case...

So after this madness is over...he will be fine? I will not have to deal with this any more?

I have found it hard to ignore him when im mad...so i ended up going back in and opening his cage. My sister came home and he jumped onto the floor and began doing his usual play catch with me routine for her. So he was fine..i brought him in some cheerios, but i didnt want him to step up on me or a...

Alright well 2 seconds after i posted my last post, i went to change typhons water...in which case when i brought the water back, he jumped onto the bowl that was still in my hand and gouged my thumb...badly. Im bleeding like mad right now and im a bit aggitated. Why the hell does he turn from one m...

I live at home with my parents and my mom is home during the day...she gives him plenty of attention. She gives him fruit during the day and talks to him and lets him out of his cage. I actually just got back from the pet store and got him some new toys. He seems completely wired about it and is run...

The only problem i see in the future is i will be working 10 hours a day, 4 days a week in the next few days or so. Id hate to come home and be so drained i dont really have the energy to deal with him trying to eat me haha. However i will try everyday...but i seriously hope he gets over this very s...

Ah ok, i have actually tried that a few times with the toy and getting him to step up. But once hes there, he seems to be uncomfortable and just shaky a bit. He acts like hes afraid of me, but ive never ever done anything wrong to him with the exception of the No's i say, which i will stop doing. An...

Thanks alot for the advice. The only thing i do when he bites me is say No...usually pretty firmly because well....i just got the hell bit out of me and im not too thrilled about it. I have definitely been using the toys, but i havent been able to get him to step up at all, hell get the toy and chew...

Typhon used to do the same thing with me...im going to end up losing my finger if he keeps his crap up.

Ive been trying that "Dont pull away when they bite" thing. I hope it starts to work soon...or im not going to have a hand left over haha. Ive got scars all over my right hand from him. Hell be playing with me one minute and hell bite the hell out of me the next. So i put him back in his cage for a ...

I am taking him up to the Vet in a few days to get his nails trimmed. I dont think his wings are grown out yet...they look a bit ragged actually. They should be fully grown very soon though, since it has been a while. And i havent recently left him. The last time i was gone was back in June for a we...

Hey guys. I got my green ringneck back in April...he was born in February if i remember right. Everything was going great with him...until now. The passed week or so i cant come near him. I cant even remove his bowls to change his water, give him more food, etc. without him lunging after my hand try...
