I have two of them, have had them for 3 years now. They live in the same cage in the loungroom and have everything they could ever want for. And they screech flat out all day long too. Just have to put up with it i guess?

Lags

yeah, i think you are right. we play with them alot, have them out of the cage whenever we are home, but i am beginning to accept that they are just noisy little fellas. i have a varied lorikeet who lives next to them, and he has taken to copying their chirping, and seems to sdend them into a frenzy...

Lags

we have had the female 3 years and the male 2 years. He is getting his ring, well its almost complete now. we love them heaps and play with them. They aren't scared of us, and there wings are clipped as we had a bad experience with our first one flying off into the sunset. They seem to be like this ...

Lags

ok. I have 2 ringnecks, 1 male , one female. They live in the same cage and get along ok. They live in the loungeroom in the house and are hand tame. my question is why do they chirp flat out all day? they are driving me crazy, and it doesn't seem to matter what we do, they just scream all day. I am...

Lags

sorry i have no answers, but i do have the eaxct same problem with my female chasing my male around the place! if she gets close enough to him she will pin her eyes and lunge at him, and they both bite each others tail feathers. cheecky little things, they never seem to do any damage to each other, ...

Lags

she's beautful, makes me want to get another chick!

Lags

really? you can tell by the shape of its head? amazing, they all look the same to me. the only sure way is a DNA test which you send some feathers away for, or wait and see if he/she gets a ring.....still don't see any difference in my male and females heads?

Lags

i think he looks fine. he looks a bit ruffled, but he is young still. Just make sure you give hime heaps of fruit and veg. A balanced diet is the best way to look afer his feathers. I know my two love a shower, and always look smoother after that too. If he doesn't like the shower, provide him with ...

Lags

i think he is atleast 8 - 10 weeks old to have that many feathers. i got my first one he was 8 weeks old and looked in similar plumage. Mine had brilliant dark blue spots on his tail and wing feathers when they first grew, but since he has molted they nevr came back, and he is just a light blue colo...

Lags

yeah, my two irns pin their eyes when they are looking at something close to them (such as food), aswell as when they are angry...funny aren't they?!

Lags

my blue male has it happen a fair bit, and he flaps his wings heaps. I think its just a matter of a feather out of place. he always manages to fix it up himself in a minute or two. not sure if its painful, he doesn't show any sign of pain when it happens to him.

Lags

we get them here in North Qld , but only for the wet season. Once all the mangoes on the graound here decompose, no moe fruit flies. Probably no help to you if you don't live in North Qld....

hi, i have two ringnecks, one a female lutino (Puddy) is about 2 years old, and a male blue (Babu) is one year who doesn't have his ring yet, but we have had him DNA tested as a male.So these two live in seperate cages in our living room, and are both hand tame and social with people. The thing is t...

Lags

my ringnecks do the same dance to each other. I have a female about 18 mnths old and a male about 10 months old. the famale does the dance to the male...even looks like she feeds him! but he doesn't like it so tries to bite her. sometimes he does it to her, but not very often. I have been told its t...

Lags

I live in an apartment and have two IRN. They are noisy, but not too bad. No complaints from the neighbours.

Lags

just having a closer look at my two, he female lutino (Puddy) has "white" where the black shouldbe on her beak, and she has "white" sunglasses too. The blue male (Babu) has black bottom beak and black tip on the top beak, and black sunglasses. Both these colours match the colours...

Lags

i have a female lutino who is 18 months old. she has no black on her beak at all, and i have an 8 month old male blue ringneck, and he has a black beak already. the thing i do notice is that the female lutino has white feet, and the blue male has black feet. I am thinking that the female is some kin...

hey ther challi, please check out this link to a video of my female ringneck doing the same thing with my wife. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZObWt4Yeos&layer_token=6c0da279503e6199 our ringneck has been DNA tested and confirmed female, but this behaviour is only new. She is about 18 months ol...

Lags

i feed mt two irn the corners of the crust off my toast, and they insist on having peanut butter on it too! they get very cranky if they don't get their toast when we have our brekky, and even crankier if it doesn't have peanut butter! They make me laugh so much!

Lags

mine love anything that we have had in our hands or are eating at the time. simple things like a straw from a juice container keep them amused for hours.... they are so funny aren't they! lol

Lags

Hi, the story is our famale Lutino has never been a 'hands on' type of bird. she's 18 months old, very tame, loves stepping up and cruising around on our shoulder,and gets cranky if we leave the room without her. So we got her a playmate, a male blue ringneck who is about 8 months old now. They have...

Lags

hi JIm,

Thanks for the reply. The birds have been in each others company for about three weeks now. I wont be breading them for a while yet, as the male is only about 4 months old. But in the future i was hoping to breed them, but things don't look to promising at the moment.

Lags

hi, i have recently introduced a new male to my female. I was got the male so Puddy ( lutino female) would have some company, plus hopefully to breed wen they are old enough. My problem is that all they want to do is rip each other apart! for two weeks now all they do is fight. we have them in two s...

Lags

well us marine, they are adjusting slowly. the new bird (male, blue) is very timid, and at first was scared of our (female) lutino ,Puddy. she is quite dominating and doesn't like him getting attention, as is to be expected. Babu (his name) spends most of his time running away from Puddy, which only...

Lags

So we decided to get a friend for or little Puddy. Sha is a female Lutino IRN, about 12 months old now i would say, and we got a male (blue) that is hand tame already.he is about 3-4 months old i would say. The problem is she is being really mean to him, and he is very intimidated by her. She chases...

Lags

i am no expert , but i have raised two IRN's now, and neither of them ever had any black at the top of their beak. maybe a trip to the vet is needed.
sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Lags

hmmm..... i don't know if he/she will grow out of it. they can be quite destructive little things if not watched closely. My IRN is about 2 years old now and can destroy a mobile phone in a matter of minutes, chews keys off laptops with ease, and loves picking the buttons off my remote controls. She...

Lags

hi, we recently took our fid on a plane with us so we could go on holiday. We left her to stay at my parents house, a place she has never been, and with people she has never met before. So she soent 3 weeks there and was out of her cage everyday and handled and fed good food, just as we would do at ...

Lags

hi,

my fid has an addiction to peanuts. does anyone know if they are good/bad for her? i don't give her heaps, but if i put them at the bottom of her feed bowl, she picks all the other food out to get to them, then goes about eating her food off the floor. funny little things aren't they?!

Lags

sounds like he's weaning. make sure he has plenty o solids and water available during this period. when mour bird weaned, he would cry like he wanted feeding, but just like you said, he would take a few mouthfuls then turn his nose up at it.its a good idea to weigh him everyday during this period to...

Lags

hi impala, well i don't have any answers about how to curb this behaviour, but i do have a fid who does the exact same thing. she goes wild when she see's herself in the mirror, pinning her eyes and trying to bite her reflection, she will even attack herself in the reflection on the showerhead when ...

Lags

hi mate, my IRN started to loose feathers at about 7 mnths old, and lost them for ages. not just a week or two, but about 6 weeks, feathers all over the house. his feathers have since stopped falling out. and my blokes beak is not as perfect as some of the pics i see also. i feed her a good diet of ...

Lags

yeah, my first IRN was exactly the same. as soon as he saw us grab the keys, that was it, he wouldn't come near us. and because he was flighted, it could take ages to catch him! cheeckly little buggers aren't they?! We never really came up with a solutin ather then bribes and distractions. but then ...

Lags

My little Putty does the same. its funny, cause she'll stand on the edge of her water bowl, stick her wings out and dunk her whole head under water then shake it everywhere! She is tame so we take her in the shower all the time and she loves it. you can also try spraying him one of those spray bottl...

Lags

as the title suggests, i am looking for a breeder of varied lorikeets. I recently rescued one, and my ringneck doesn't seem to get on with him. Putty the ringneck just attatcks Cosmo the Lorry everytime he goes near her. So i would like to find a friend for Cosmo, was hoping to get another varied Lo...

hi pinkdevil, thanks for your response. i have just read that they require a litlle more care then other birds.... but we have decided to bring the little fella into our home and introduce him to Putty, our ringneck. Putty is very tame, but we wont be keeping them in the same cage, just the size dif...

hi, well here is the story. A few months ago, while we were at the shops, we came accross an injured baby dird, who must have fallen from his nest during a bad storm that was going on at the time. He looked in a bad way, and was crying/screaming, and getting harassed by other local birds, so we pick...

Hi, i currently have a female lutino and she is beautiful. I am thinking of getting a friend for her, and would love to get a male. My question is if a do get a male and put them in the same cage, will they breed? I do not really want them to breed, so i wont be providing them any nesting boxes or a...

Lags

You can get your bird DNA tested at any age.
As for the flying, I would definatley wait till he/she has learnt to fly before clipping them, for all the reasons mentioned above.

Lags

he/she squawks when you leave the room because he is using his contact call. Bird in the wild would use this call to keep in touch with each other even though they can't see each other, such as in a bushy tree, or long grass. If you don't like her squawking then you have to try to teach her a whistl...

Lags

Even at 3-6 months you will need DNA testing to know wether its male or female.

Lags

well two weeks on and still no sign of Jerry. We tried everything. we had his cage out with all his favourite foods and his toys outside, we called the radio station, adds in the paper, signs up everywhere, told all our neighbours, but still nothing. We havent even seen him since. we have since got ...

Hi , we have just got our ringnecks wings clipped. She is about 6/8 months old now. The problem is she still thinks she can fly and jumps off things, epecting to fly, but obviously can't, so she hits the deck hard. We are worried she will hrt herself dropping out of the sky! So I was wondering if an...

Lags

well i think the title says it all. had the door open for about 2 seconds, and he was gone. He was chirping his little heart out as he flew off into the great blue yonder. I miss him already.

Hope you are ok out there little fella, we love you.

Lags

I have since taken the little fella to the vet. he reckons that its not mites, but its just because the air is so dry where we live (we live in the desert) its drying his beak out. So he advised us to add a couple of drops of linseed oil to his seeds and since then his beak has looked alot better.

Lags

hi, we have to take little Jerry on a plane with us for a flight down south.

mt little Jerry is 6 months old and he like a scratch on the head and belly - when it suits him! he's so funny, sometimes he'll pin his eyes and growl, but inly for a second. as soon as he realises how good it feels he stops growling!!! so funny!
