Biting during hand feeding.
Hey, I month back I bought a 5 month old Ringneck, she wasn't tame. It has taken a month but now she's starting to take food out of my hands from behind the bars. She will take apple, etc from my grip when I put them through and will take peas off my hand when I put it in. The problem is though, whe...

Re: She doesn't seem to drink water?
Hey,
Thanks, she looks healthy enough and her droppings seem nice and wet, so I guess she must be fine. I just thought it was odd, I mean, she eats out of her seed bowl next to her water, but I've never seen her sit near her water and actually drink any. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open.
Cheers.

She doesn't seem to drink water?
I've had my Ringneck for several weeks now, and she's great. She eats lots of fruit, veg and seeds, but I'm worried because I've never seen her drink water, and every time I change it, the water level doesn't seem lower. Is it likely that she gets enough water from the fruits, or is it just that she...

Seed Bell vs Loose Seeds?
Mara has a seed bell and loose seeds in her cage, but I've only seen her eat off the seed bell, never from the loose seeds. I also feed her fruit and millet spray. I've only had her for a couple days, so I'm still working on her diet. Anyway, back to the main point, is it OK for her just to eat her ...

Scared of the dark?
I got my Indian Ringneck today, she's 5 months old, and isn't too used to hands, etc (working on changing that), the thing is that it is now night time and every time I turn off the light she goes nuts in her cage, she doesn't make any vocal sounds, but just jumps around and flys around hitting the ...

Taming Tips?
Hello everyone, got a green IRN today, beautiful bird, and I would appreciate some tips. Here's the rundown. She's 5 months old and she hasn't really been handled before. It's been a very stressful day for her as she was removed from her small pet shop cage, put in a carry cage and then transferred ...
