Right! Sadly, I'm versed in behavior but not to much on ringneck genetics—just the basics! Hopefully, an expert can pop in to help you answer your question!

Yes, the walnuts are super healthy! I know all my birds enjoy walnuts. I'll kind of crack them for them and let them work at it to open the shell. It's so much fun watching them tear apart the walnut.

I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry!

I've been away from the forum for quite sometime. My apologies. The most important thing is to really socialize them and expose them to a lot at this age. Birds that are hand feeding, or that are very young, tend to do very well if socialized. Make sure their feet are touched, beak, they are daily p...

I've been off the forum for months! Sorry!

She looks normal; some ringnecks have a lot of blood vessels inside their eyes. I would take her to a vet just in case. With Indian Ringneck, many hide their illness before it is to late. How is doing now?

Congratulations! I can't wait to hear more about him. Welcome to our Ringneck family!

Hello, It sounds like Flippers, your female ringneck, has developed a habit of contact calling when you're not in the same room as her. This can be a challenging situation, especially when it continues for extended periods. You mentioned that she doesn't seem interested in the food you provide and f...

Hello, It's clear that you're concerned about the relationship between your Indian Ringneck parrots, Zazu and Renee. Although they seem to get along well when they are both in their cages, Renee becomes aggressive and appears to bully Zazu when they are let out. This situation can be challenging, an...

Hello Sershin, It sounds like you've recently introduced a mature blue male Indian Ringneck to your mature creamino female, and you're wondering about the possibility of them breeding this season. You mentioned that the female spends time in the nesting box and displays pre-laying behavior, but the ...

I know the feeling. After years of breeding ringnecks I had to stop. I couldn't bare to let them go year after year.

Awww she is beautiful

. Would love to see updated photos.

Wow! What a cute little fellow! It all depends on what genes the birds carry. Even though both parents are yellow, they both carry the green dominant gene which produced a green baby. That means even though your baby ringneck is green, it also carries different genes. Kinda crazy, huh? I wish I knew...

Shoot! I know more about behavior than I do mutations! I am moving this to the mutation section --- hopefully we can get some experts over there to help!

Welcome to our forum! :D Sounds like you will indeed have a long road ahead. I had two ringneck females and they are so AMAZING! Such loyal deep bonds were formed with me. I would look into positive reinforcement. Take baby steps and just know each day that you build your relationship with your bird...

Welcome to the forum! :) Yes, I would keep the bird in its own separate cage. :) Please feel free to browse through the forum as this is the largest ringneck site with almost 20 years of information. Find a strategy that works for you. I recommend positive reinforcement. I can't wait to read about y...

he most important thing to do is ignore all biting. Give it no attention whatsoever so the behavior can be extinguished. Once the ringneck knows biting is not an effective way to communicate, it will phase it out. Some ringnecks are more relentless than others. Be consistent, and the behavior will c...

Welcome to this forum!

I moved your topic to the mutation section. Can't wait to hear more about your birds.

Welcome. :) How I sex my ringnecks is by looking at their feet. Females have more stockier feet and thicker toes while males have more daintier feet. It's the female the needs more strength during breeding to prepare the nesting cavity when she is scratching around before breeding. :) Works about 95...

We are all so dedicated and we strive to answer as many posts as we can. Should a questions not get answered, please feel free to use the search function towards the right....

I think the ladies here said it perfect. These birds can be loud and it can be irritating. I have seven parrots and let me tell you it's a lot of noise. My neighbors are thankfully very cool about the noise, but even then I try to be as careful as possible. You can expect vocal calling morning, noon...

It all depends on the bird. Some start around 8 months but Archimedes took 15 or 18 months--i can't remember. If there is no ring by the third year it's a girl

Wow, amazing! I can see the difference in the primary and tail feathers! Very interesting!

Welcome to our forum! :OP I'll admit it's super exciting picking out a color, huh? I think it all depends on what you like. I know that when I bring Devri with me most people think she's not very pretty--or at least she does not get as much attention as my other birds -- I don't care though as to me...

Ha ha ha ha! That's so cute! While reading this is tugged at my heart. It's amazing how different these birdies are, huh? That's super cute! Give him an extra treat for us!

Woot! Woot! Just wanted to give you a warm welcome! We have the best ringneck family around and so many knowledgeable individuals.

Hello, Welcome to our forum! Now, let's address the topic of biting. Before we get into answering how you can deal with the biting let's look at the world through your bird's eyes first. In your post you had said the bird had not been handled, so from this I'm going to assume the bird does not know ...

Hello Mujeeb, Hello and welcome to our Indian Ringneck forum! We have the nicest family around I promise. It's true many of us are super busy, but we all try to stop in to help any new members, such as yourself--we all strive to leave unanswered posts--this is a goal that can sometimes become tediou...

Hello Chris, Sorry for the late reply as I've been super busy! #:-s First of all, let me welcome you to our little space on the net. I can honestly say we have the most amazing ringneck family here! Though at times our forum might become slow, it usually picks up during the breeding season as many n...

Sorry for the late reply! I've been so busy working on another project! #:-s I just wanted to take the time to welcome you to our little place on the net. I know you'll find the forums very useful and we have the best family around. I can remember the first time I got my breeding pair of ringnecks! ...

I'm very pleased to hear you are evolving in your approach to bird handling and the advice you are putting out there. It is unfortunate that other sites appear to have copied your old article, and "taking" bites is still promoted on some ringneck social media groups. Even though there muc...

Reply coming soon! Have to be at a birthday party! :OP Welcome to the family!!!

No, I am not saying that females don't bluff. I said every bird is different. Some bluff more than others. But, I do believe it tends to be stronger in females, but this could be due their matriarchal behavior. But, personally I have always respected my pets, never put them in the position where the...

Claire, I think you're nitpicking and looking for ways to disprove bluffing, but i know you don't believe in it. :) When I wrote that article, I centered it around the notion of captive Indian Ringnecks. For example, it's been proven that many parrots stop a behavior, then resume it once they adjust...

Reply coming soon! Sorry, have so much work on my desk! Welcome to the family!

Sanjay’s Mummi, That’s quite okay. :) It’s okay to agree to disagree. You have to remember i’ve worked with so many ringnecks, and from my perspective and my research, it’s a reality. Besides, there is a reason these birds were deemed “not good pets” at one time. And there is a reason conures or oth...

I would get the cage that is flat on the top and I'll tell you why. Ringnecks are highly messy creatures. I found in the past when I had cages that had bars that crossed, mess easily accumulated and scrubbing was a chore. Not only that, the hinges also collected food particles, feces, and feathers. ...

That's an Indian Ringneck!

MissK, I love watching these birds during late spring as these birds accumulate in large flocks--you have the juveniles and the parents interacting and it's an amazing phenomena. One time, I had showed up to a park and the birds were all over the benches and tables . I cannot believe how many ringne...

Claire, Could you imagine if we bred for personality rather then mutations! ? It's funny you mentioned about Nila's bloodline as I was writing about taming vs domestication for my book...I was reading an amazing study in Russia about scientists domesticating foxes -- it only took less than 50 years!...
