Olly talking while being stroked
My parrot likes to be stroked on the head and will often talk while I'm doing it. He's getting pretty good with his words now, I'm so proud of him, he's so cute when he talks. He does look rough though at the moment because he's moulting and started to grow into his ring lol. http://www.youtube.com...

Re: Can I give my IRN a bit of biscuit?
Why can't you give them tomatoes? I didn't know that, I've been giving him some quite often, some days he has apples and other days he has tomatoes. Can you suggest anything better for him then? He loves fruit

Re: Can I give my IRN a bit of biscuit?
Nah, I don't think I will give him any biscuit because I don't want to risk him being ill. He's started to really love tomatoes now so when I give him that, he isn't interested in anything else

Re: Ear piercing screech!
Thank you all for the advice, I'll reward him when he talks and does the cute little chirps and will ignore him whenhe does those screeches to encourage him to talk rather than screech because he can speak really well now :D He screeches a lot more when my boyfriend or anyone else is in my room.

Can I give my IRN a bit of biscuit?
Everytime I bring a biscuit into my room, Olly will fly straight over to me and tried to snatch it off me. Can I give him just a little bit of biscuit or is that really bad for him? It's so funny, even when I hide them in my pocket, he always knows and will stay on my arm or shoulders lol

My indian ringneck is just over a year old now. He has a mirror in his cage which he spends ages looking at haha.

Is my Indian Ringneck a boy or a girl?
I bought him off a breeder and was told it's a buy but he's a little over a year old now but hasn't developed a ring or anything. I read up about females, they cluck and that was what Olly was doing quite a few times so I have a feeling it's a girl. Might have to start calling it Polly if it is hah...

Head bobbing?
My parrot has recently learned to talk. He can say 'Elo' and 'What you doin?' haha, it's so cute. When I talk to him, he starts doing these cute little twitters and then he starts bobbing his head. I'm interesting in what that means when they do that? I hope he's happy

I've noticed today that while my ringneck is flying, he's making this type of noise that I haven't heard before. I guess it sounds like a pigeon when they're flying, I don't know whether it's a dumb question but I just wanted to make sure that is he ok? He is flying perfectly fine though. Could any...

Well I just talk to him all the time, I say hello a lot hoping that eventually he will pick it up but I was wondering if the budgies would distract him for speaking out.

Can I teach my IRN to talk with budgies in the room?
I keep my parrot in my room along with two budgies (separate cages) and was wondering if it possible to teach him to talk if there are other birds in the room?
He is already really tame with me so if not, I can always spend time with him in another room.
