I've been letting him out when I'm home almost every day now when I'm home. Sometimes he doesn't want to go outside, so thats fine with me. And sometimes he wants to stay out all day. He never leaves my area though. His cage is inside but I've put his perch out in the garden. It's a great set up. No...

Well it's been a while since I've had him now, but I've kept thinking at the back of my mind he wanted to go outside for a fly again with the other birds. Few people here were against the idea but I finally decided. Originally I only caught him for bringing him in just for the winter. The worst that...

I only made it as a room for him to go into when he wants privacy. It's not designed as a nest sorry. All I know is he likes it and had no problems using it. You could try putting a nest inside it but you may as well just use the typical nest box. I dont know anything about nesting teritorial proble...

As far as I know, a vegetarian diet is much healthier, from articles and tv shows i've seen, but I'm not in it for health reasons. When I was little my parents use to force me to eat meat. I guess they thought they were doing the right thing, but I discovered around the age of 8, that I could bring ...

Thanks so much Lauren. I'll stop letting him eat out of my dog's bowl - but that's going to be hard! Don't worry about the air con, it's wheeled there for the photo. The other wall had too much light outside for a pic. Separating them would be difficult though. The bird doesn’t like being locked in ...

best invention yet! Bird's private bed/change tent
I mentioned this in another post . I cut a square sheet with 4 material flaps that hang. ( Like an upside down box) And hung it over a perch, top corner. You can use cardboard to help keep the shape of the centre piece. You don't even need to sew, you can cut the whole shape out of fabric, (like a f...

ok thanks. I might hold off on that then. I've bought some more toys for him. Mirror, balls, few cat toys, bells. He doesn't seem to touch them yet though. But I brought his cage outside this morning and he seemed much more active. Eating, pruning etc. I might do this more often. He seemed happier w...

Nila seems to be ok but he isn't letting me touch him yet. He steps up but then flys away. He will take food from me though. But sometimes when he hears the crows he calls out to them and misses being with them. I feel he's a bit bored and lonely. If I get him a friend, a female green IRN how long b...

Taking away his food!
My little boy keeps eating till past 1am in the morning. I've heard him and checked even though its pitch black. I think it is because he spends his day out of the cage and notices the food when he goes to sleep so he keeps eating. I am going to take away the food and only feed him when he comes to ...

You may have a point about the Hawks. I've seen one near here unfortunately but the ringneck has been surviving fine for 5ish months outside till now. You are also right about me thinking he may be happier flying outside in the yard again. I have no doubt about him finding my house though. I saw him...

Just an idea, perhaps make the house dim for a while when he's flying. I've been keeping an 'untame bird' over a week now and he's been flying around my house ok. I kept the house dim for the first week everytime I let him fly. He did fly into the glass door the other day but I was stupid and had th...

Is it normal for their tail to shake slightly sometimes when they perch?

I took him to the vet for a check up yesterday and everything is fine. I'm looking around for a new cage still. The vet thinks he's excaped from a breeder too, and that's why they haven't bothered to look for him. He's also starting to make budgie talking noises. I'm really happy, because he lets me...

I tried finding the owner months ago. I'm not going to now. I just removed the adds the day before. My vet convinced me, she said if he was missed and loved, they would have contacted the pet stores, vets and newspapers in the area months ago. I looked at bigger cages that day too but I didn't know ...

Thanks to so many people for trying to help. I doubt I'll breed him but the big cage sounds like a good option too. Do you think catching him now may scare him off hanging around when I let him go again though? I'm sure he followed me to the shops last week. I heard him squawk, looked up and saw him...

But it's impossible for him to be born in the wild. I'm still very confused, I rang 2 pet stores and 3 vets, 2 pet places said he will definitely die ( although they also said he wouldn't be able to live in the wild which he sort of has) 2 bird vets said it might be ok in winter if he finds some sor...

Thanks for replying. Surviving winter was my only concern. I hope you are right. He's been in for 2 nights now but winter has only just began.

untame Indian Ringneck - caught for winter. need advice
Hey everyone. I live in Australia and I’ve had an Indian Ringneck live in my back yard this year. I’ve fed him seeds now and then, fruit or bread. And he flys away somewhere to sleep at night . I have a short video below if you want to see. But it is winter now and I was worried he wouldn’t ...
