Re: What to do about mucky eggs?

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I will post some photos for you. They are not in an aviary they are in a large cage as the male is a tame and talking pet. They absolutely adore each other and so we made a large nest box with specific measurements for ringnecks and attached it to the cage. She was thri...

What to do about mucky eggs?

My pair of indian ringnecks are breeding. Their last lot of eggs were fertile and the embryo's were growing but then died in their early stages of development. I think the problem is that the eggs were dirty and slightly sticky on the outside. I was wondering if, when I see that they are dirty I sho...

Female Ringneck CONSTANTLY calling and being noisy

I run a small bird sanctuary and someone brought in an untame indian ringneck female. She is very nervy although she will occasionally take food from my hand. The problem is that she is so extremely noisy! She doesnt scream as such but to me it sounds like she is calling - to be honest it sounds lik...

Re: how do I get my ringneck to let me touch him

Hi Ellie, Yes that does make a lot of sense actually. I look forward to seeing the article you mentioned as at the moment he can be quite unpredictable. He likes to "give kisses" but the other day when he leaned forward as though he wanted to give a kiss and my father let him he bit his li...

Re: how do I get my ringneck to let me touch him

Thank you. So just to be clear: even though he is already tame enough to sit on my hands I still do the stick training everyday?
And I just let him bite me so he gets to know that he wont get what he wants out of it and gives up? (I hope I have some fingers left at the end of this lol)

Re: how do I get my ringneck to let me touch him

Oh and just one more thing: Is there any way to discourage him from biting since he does pack quite a punch when the mood takes him?

how do I get my ringneck to let me touch him

I have a 2 year old ringneck boy named Balloo. I have had him for about 3 months. He talks, will land on me, take food from my hand and sit on my hand ect but he will not let me stroke him or touch him with my fingers and hands. Occasionally he will let me touch and smooth his beak but that's it. He...
