I just brought an indian ringneck, which we have named Rookie.

I am totally worried about him/her, s/he was handraised, and I am meant to finish the feeding. S/he is getting nippy now (its only been 2 days) So I was wondering if there was something that I did wrong. As a result s/he is not eating...

I am really worried about it. I did alot of research on them before I decided to add one to my family.

Please help

Can you go back to the breeder? In my opinion, he should not have been given to you until he was fully weaned.

Thanks for your reply

I did take Rookie back to the breeder, who explained that s/he was just "beaking" my hand to get up.

The good news is that s/he is now eating millet and seed, and also that s/he seems to have the sweetest personality ever!

S/he likes to sit on my hand and fluff up and preen! I'm happy and I now know that I made the right choice, I think Rookie just needed time to settle in.
