Hello Trudie Wow, sorry for the late response, been so busy! Once the eggs hatch, make sure you feed the mother IRN fresh greens, fruits, and veggies. It’s really important you continue to offer these foods while the IRN female is feeding her babies. Feeding her those food items allow optimal health...

Hello Jenicar Welcome to this board and congratulations on your new IRN! If I read the post correctly, your Indian Ringneck is sitting on your shoulder and you are able to handle him, right? If that’s the case, that’s great progress already! It’s a good thing the parrot is allowing you to handle him...

Your Indian Ringneck is starting to test its hierarchy by “bluffing.” Bluffing, as aviculturist think, is a rebelling period that lasts for a short time in parrots; mainly during fledging and after weaning. This bluffing stage usually begins early in Indian Ringnecks. This phase will pass; however, ...

Hello, Welcome to this board and thanks for posting! Indian Ringnecks make marvelous pets. They rarely have mood swings and their personalities are pretty much stable. This stable personality is a plus. Have you been in the presence of an Amazon on a bad day? LoL! Not fun. Another advantage to this ...

Great Idea
Keeping two Indian Ringnecks in the same house should not be a problem, provided you supply each bird with its own space. You were right on the money with your statement, “they will both have a cage to them selves.” Remember although IRNs are social, they tend to be individuals by nature. They love ...

Thanks
Yeah it is cool and I am really excited. The oldest baby is already six days old and huge! I can’t believe how fast they grow. The mother keeps them nice and full. I am adding all kinds of fruits and vegetables to ensure the babies stay nice and plumped. I was a little disappointed during the first ...

New Babies!
I know no one is using this board cause it’s new, but I have some great news to share! Finally, after patience and hard work, my Indian Ringnecks have successfully hatched their own clutch. I had to assist one baby in hatching, mainly due to the low humidity in Southern California. Other than that, ...

Hello Keri Nice to meet you and welcome to this board! Keri, like you I am also waiting for my handfed IRN. I purchased a pair at my local pet shop and can’t enjoy them enough. Although their first clutch this year turned out to be unfertile, I still really enjoy watching them…they truly are, in my ...

Breeding
As I remember correctly, Ringneck season begins in late December or early February in Southern California. It really depends on the parrots. Some might even breed earlier if the lighting is adjusted to the right condition. I however choose to breed outdoors, so it’s safe to say later December or Feb...
