Psittacosis possibly?
Passed from Bird to human through inhaling the bacteria from bird droppings, also from kissing your bird.

Meeko my 6 week old IRN.

As you know birds don't like being low.. So just get your two fingers, and slightly press them against and up the bird's chest above the feet.. He should step up onto them.

Hi, I'm a recently new IRN fan and owner from Brisbane, Australia, I got my first Indian Ringneck at the end of 2008, a 1 year old aviary male. At the same time I joined this forum and did my first post welcoming myself to the forum. Was a bit of a challenge taming him down but It slowly happened. S...

:D Hello, I am sorry I missed your introduction, so I'll say hiya now and welcome to the world of IRNs! Being a new bird parront, you might find gaining a birds trust is not so easy. There is going to be many ups and downs over the years. But it sounds like your going well. It can take some time to...

Aww they are soo cute xD Make sure they aren't eating the newspaper.. it's bad for them.

Well.. most of you wouldn't have read my introduction thread. So I'll go over it again. I purchased a 1 year old IRN from a breeder a few weeks ago. I think he was hand reared, but he's been in an aviary with other birds for the rest of the time. The plan was to get a baby but there were none left. ...

It's too dangerous to bring him home and tame him with unclipped wings, especially because he is going to be scared and confused... and he will probably hurt himself, Clip his wings and get him used to his new home and you. Feathers do grow back ^^

I'm not using gloves with my 1 year old which I'm taming (Was a aviary bird). I tryed giving him a bit of apple with them on, but he just kept biting them. Get him used to your hands.. put them as close to him as you can without him biting.. leave it there for a bit.. then withdraw, getting closer e...

I already got sucked into myspace.. I think that's enough. ><

Aw, he is a beautiful bird.. my new 1 year old has the same colours and everything.. it's good to know how beautiful he will get ^^

He didn't like the pen stroking him.. so I stopped with it, I tryed another way.. I've been slowly just getting my hand close to him.. letting it stay for awhile then withdrawing it.. and I've been having talk sessions with him, though he won't talk back yet. So far is really good.. I can get my han...

That's what your talking about right..? The bit I circled.. because my bird has a growthy thing similar to that, but on the other side.



I'm not sure what it is o.o I'll have to look it up.

Hmmm..depending on if your bird was handraised or handtamed I would let him settle into his new home for a few days and just talk to him and let him get used to you. Once he has settled in and feels comfortable he should wander around his cage and eat more. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for b...

Hello, I just purchased my first bird today! *Excited* I have been wanting a bird for awhile.. I had a cage bought and sitting in my room.. the plan was to get a baby cockatiel and I had done a heap of research on them on the internet. But we saw an add for baby indian ringnecks in the paper cheap s...
