Hi,

I'm Sudhir from Bangalore, India. I have a lot of questions about IRN, with the hope of find solutions I'm posting them here.
1. Can we have IRN as a pet? Do we have to register it in some organisation or elsewhere in India?
2. How do to train an IRN? Is there an training guides available in India?

More questions once I recieve responses for these...

Cheers,
Sudhir

Hello, i have no idea about indian laws about IRN's i know that you can get books on them, but i dont even know if you can get them there. Hope some one comes along that can help you. Welcome to the forum by the way!

I would imagine you could keep them in India. They are common creatures out there. Just make sure they are not taken from their habitat and look for a reliable breeder. Wild ringnecks can carry many diseases and do not make good pets. Plus, trapping parrots is sad and buying a parrot from a trapper would only support them.

About talking. Ringnecks are very good at learning tricks and talking. I’ll give you a website with training information. It’s called clicker training. If you don’t want to use that method, then search here for taming ringnecks. That should get you going. :cry:

Good luck on your ringneck research and I commend you for doing research before diving into a long commitment. :wink:

Best wishes,
