Does anyone know at what age does ringnecks develope blue around there iris? My husband brought home a baby told to be roughly 8 weeks. Its a grey colour but the eyes already have blue around the iris and the skin around the eye is orange. I thought babies dont have that? Am i right to be suspicious...

I have a 5 month old ringneck in the taming process. Im no expert so if im wrong, correct me...but i think you bird is getting there. And why he jumps of your hand may be becouse hes just not 100% comfortable yet but curius about you anyway. my ringneck was the same just a few weeks ago. even seamed...

Just a heads up! I have these little plastic netballs with a bell inside that i normally let my 5 month old cookie play with during the day. Today i had to leave cookie alone for almost a whole day and when i got back i found that she had broke the plastic net ball and got the metal bell out and bit...

Thank you for great advice :) I will def be more careful with when i give her treats. About the wobbeling my hand. I never thought about it that way and it does make sence ofc., i will try with maybe a foot toy or something to distract her when shes in that mood. It is as if shes getting bored and l...

Thank you very much

I give her apple, banana, pear whatever fruit i have home really...sunflowerseeds and walnuts mostly.will buy some pomegranate, i bet she would love that. She takes treats nicely from my open flat or pinched between my fingers. With no biting. its just that when shes perching on my hand for example ...

I try to keep my fingers away but making her come to the toys might be a good idea.

How do i make my fingers taste bad? What could i put thats not bad for her.

thank you for good advice

So i had a problem with my irn lounging at me a while ago. Wich we managed to overcome and she no longer does this. Yay :) Now we ran into a different issue. she bites. Shes not agressive when doing so its more like shes testing out my fingers and gets excited and keeps chewing. Even if i give her a...

Im in the same situation. Had my ringneck for 3 weeks.. she four months. Really lovly and sits on my hand. Comes out and plays, takes treats and so on. And suddenly a few days ago she started biting against me. when i try her to step up she lounges at my hand. If i put my hands near her cage same th...

Ok so. I now had my lovly little Cookie for about 3 weeks. shes now almost 4 months, Real sweetie. Calls me in the morning to come and open the cage, comes out , dont mind stepping up started taking treats from my hand two days ago been doing really good. And then today she started launching at me. ...

Wow. Your börek is a very a pretty bird
lovly pics.

Lol
Yes thats so funny, and very true

Thank you for your reply. Yes i have come to understand that patience is a big one when it comes to ringnecks :) but were getting there. Yesterday cookie took sunflowerseeds from my hand for the first time and now i can give her bits of fruit etc. If shes not interested i put it in her bowl and wait...

Thank you. I hope she will in the future. il keep trying, was reading that getting a training perch with a little bowl attached to it might be useful in training if she dont take treats from me directly i can drop the treat in the bowl when she does good. Might try that. But for now as you said im g...

I just recently got a 12 week old indian ringneck. Had it for aprox a week now. im going to call it she although i dont know what sex yet. she comes out of her cage on her own. steps up on my hand when i approach her and lets me scrach her neck and seems fine with me touching her. Not so much inside...

Thank you. Yes im reading alot trying to learn what to do and what not to do.
Hopefully im doing it somewhat right ;)

Hi, this is me (sandra) and my new baby Cookie, 12 weeks old, from London...

Three days ago this lovly little one came home with me.
Stepped right on to my finger and lets me scratch its neck.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Thank you so much. Will definitely look in to this. Very helpful

Hi, i got a indian ringneck i think 5 days ago now. I sat next to his cage as much as i could and i still do. Sat next to him eating, reading, on the phone and so on. Offering him treats every now and then. And i think second day he started taking apple and walnut from my hand through the cage wire....

Thank you for your reply. Very helpful. I will start of with a few hours a day outside the cage. So that maybe we can find some kind of rutine with time. Will keep interacting with him daily and hopefully have a tame flying bird in the future.

He is not wild as in taken from the wild he is wild as in never been handled, parent raised as you said. i was told hes under six months so i don't know excactly. I got him becouse he wasnt taken care of properly were he was. I can see his wings have been badly cut and i asked specificly about the t...

The cage is 50 cm wide 75 cm high and 40 cm deep. His tail was clipped of before i got him, i dont know why so hes quite small for now, moving around fine. But once the tail grows back i might need a bigger cage? I have the cage door open all the time while im home and today he came out for the firs...

Thank you for your advice. I never clipped any birds i had before and will do the same with this one. Hopefully his feathers will grow back nicely.
its now day 3 with my new friend and he came out of his cage today and does take apple and nuts from my hand

I got a wild indian ringneck two days ago. And of course i would like to try and tame him. He lets me sit next to the cage, he takes treats from my hand through the cage bars. I have put my hand inside the cage and he dosent fly around but looks a bit suspiciously at me. His wings are clipped. so I'...

Thank you for your help. I know nothing about clipping wings, i never clipped my other birds. Small budgies so i never had to.
Is it prefered to have bigger birds clipped? How often do u have clipp them?
Or will it be fine with all his feathers. Dont want him to hurt himself.

Yesterday i brought this little fella home. I only ever had budgies before so im new with this bigger birds. in my opinion the wings have been clipped very badly and the tail feathers has been clipped aswell. I was told he/she is under 6 months old. Looks to me like its molting a little. Will the fe...
