hi I have one indian ring neck I have had him for four months now. but I was ripped of from the woman I brought him of as she told me that she would send me the dna certifcate and the birth certificate but she didnt. she told me the parrot was a 6 month old male who said hello, shut up, biscuit, and that he was tame but she lied. I love my parrot he is still scared of me and my family and he still hasnt bonded with us, and he screams a lot.

Hi there, welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new addition. So sorry to hear you have had troubles with whom you got your IRN from. I don't really have much advice where that particular area is concerned-unfortunately there are a whole lot of fakers out there only after a quick buck without any thought for animal welfare I'm sure others here are experienced with the document side and can suggest a few things to try.

What have you tried so far regarding bonding? It is a long slow process but it can be done-I have had mine for about 5 weeks now and the progress has amazed me and I was totally depressed at one stage about it all. Do post any questions and read threads in the taming section, this board has a fantastic community and they are always on hand to help

Welcome here. Regardless of what you expected of your parrot, sure you will love him as he gets used to you and you teach and train him. But take things slowly and don't rush him.

Hi samiyakhan. Let me start off by saying welcome

As for your bird. Regardless of what was told to you in the beginning, you must now put that all aside and start with a clean slate. What are your goals with your bird? What are you looking to achieve as far as a relationship with your bird? Bonding with your bird happens over time. It is not something that can be rushed. You must first gain your birds trust and respect. Can you give me some examples of a normal day with your bird? Feeding, cleaning, interaction? How does he respond to these things? Is he biting? Will he come out of the cage? Will he step up to your hand? It will help to give myself and others a starting point to helping you and your bird.

hi thanks for your replies. well my parrot is called taj, I think he is male. we have tried step up but he wont step up either on hand or stick, he takes food from our hand or rather snatches it. He doesn't like anyone going near him or touching him he bites anyone who does touch him. he has a bad biting problem. he is really aggressive, so we dnt touch him or try to get him to step us cos he screams and bites. when he comes out of his cage he only sits on top of his cage and doesnot move from that spot. he doesnt play with his toys I have bought him loads, he only loves his mirror. I really dont know what to do I love him and want him to be happy
