I have to agree with Amazonite. Usually things like sores don't get worse before they get better. If he not putting any weight and if there is any worsening discoloration, if it were me I'd make a trip ASAP back to the vet.... If it is because he is biting at the sore to make it worse, they might be...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, a week is about how long it takes for a feather to come in on my cockatiel too (to be replaced when one falls out). I don't mind the short feathers on Levi, she looks just as cute anyway, but I just find it a bit weird. I find it interesting that yours only takes a short ...

Feathers Don't Grow
Hi Everyone, Hopefully someone will be able to lend me some advice. Levi is almost 1 year old and her flight feathers and tail feathers have still not all grown in fully, is this normal? She has no "bald spots" and has feathers covering her entirely, but she has never had a real tail for v...

Weird aggression towards bare feet
Hi everyone, My boyfriend have had our ringneck for almost 5 months or so now. She is very well behaved but has good and bad days (like most birdies I imagine). For the most part, even if she's having a crabby, nippy day, we can keep her from being aggressive with us (she just kind of puts her "...

Thanks Donna, Glad to know I'm not the only one with an attention hogging ringneck, lol. I love her to death but she insists on being the center of attention. In fact if she even hears the cockatiel singing and joyful she will try to climb to his cage to screetch at him and try to make him quiet ag...

IRN's and Other species
Hi Everyone, I have been away from the site a while. I wondered if it is typical of ringnecks to not get along well with other species of birds. I can't tell if my ringneck is just very jealous and likes being "the baby" of the family (she doesn't like our cockatiel) or if it's because she...

Oh my goodness, your baby looks just like my birdie! It's hard to tell from the picture I have of her (bad lighting makes her appear a different color than she is) but its so funny, they look just the same. Of your list of names I like Nudge best but a couple of the names I thought of before decidin...

Donna, Thanks for the advice. It's been working out. Now that they both get their own special time Levi has stopped going after Pidget. I can even have them both out at the same time and she's pretty good about it. I can catch her schemeing about it sometimes but she knows not to actual go after him...

oh my, the dog eating him would not be good. Honestly, if I thought my dog was capable of eating my bird due to a faulty cage, I would credit that bird cage. Of course, I bought Levi's cage on credit anyway and I don't have a dog. I'm not sure how you aquired the bird, but a cage is just one of tho...

Couldn't be happier: question about bluffing though
Hello, I just had to share. I've had Levi (my little indian ringneck) going on 3 weeks now and I couldn't be happier. She's just the sweetest little bird. She started making cute little noises like the squeaking noise the sink makes in the morning when I am changing her water. Also, she was timid at...

Hey Donna, It's always good to get a counter view... I've been through too much this past year with pidget's ringband incident though to ever want another ring band on my bird. It's funny you mention the thing with dogs and collars getting caught on things too though because my friend had two dogs w...

I hate to put in my two cents here but just some food for thought.... I am anti-ring band. Honestly, I don't know that it's not a great tool for identification of missing birds and for their safe return to their rightful owners but I can tell you a real quick personal story about why I don't like th...

Crying and Jealousy
Hi everyone, My little ringneck is about three months old now. I've had her home for almost 2 weeks and since she has been here she makes predominantly one noise. It sounds almost like a kitten crying, and she doesn't really make any other noises. The only other time I hear her make a different nois...

Hello Everyone
Hi Everybody, I'm new to the message board. I began looking for ringneck information the day I saw a four week old blue ringneck in an avian pet store. I didn't even know what an indian ringneck was when I saw her, but I became intrigued with these beautiful, exotic birds. This website was one of my...
