Giving up so soon? Let me give you a different perspective. Imagine you’re a young child and you get pulled from your parents. You are then given to new parents and expected to act normal. All your surroundings change and you are frightened. Do you think you would adjust to new parents, a new house,...

Well I commend you for doing your research! Most people purchase parrots on impulse before doing any research. I can tell you that ringnecks are noisy indeed! They start to squawk early in the morning, noon, and before bed time. I am sorry and I know it’s probably not the answer you wanted to hear. ...

The only thing I would do is supervise them.

A ringneck beak is extremely strong compared to a cockatiel beak. Never let them be alone and always keep an eye out for any aggression. I wish I could tell you more but that’s really the answer.

Hope this helps!

I answered inside the intro section of the forum.

Hello Rhonda, Welcome to this forum! I would not handle the eggs because they are extremely fragile and the mother can give you a nasty bite that could make your hand slip and the egg can be smashed. The eggs are pretty transparent and there are two methods to candle IRN eggs. The easy way is to jus...

Hello Judy & Lynne Most baby ringneck will wean when they are 10 weeks old; however, if the ringneck is kept by itself expect a 11 – 12 week weaning period. To help your ringneck wean, you can start with warm sweet yams or mash potatoes. This helps your bird adapt to solid foods. Get creative an...

Hello Lisa,

I have one more left and it's green. PM if you like;)

The baby is weaning and learning to fly. It was born on march 26, 2005.

Thanks & Best Wishes,

LoL!!! Don’t worry. I laugh at people when they say wild ringnecks cannot be trained. This is untrue and another myth about ringnecks published. I bet you did not know that wild IRNs overseas are avid talkers. When I would visit overseas I saw many wild caught ringnecks that were tame and loved thei...

yep it's very possible. Some ringnecks are gifted talkers and yours might be one of them!

Good question about the water. Is the bowl under a perch? Just make sure you change the water every two - six hours.

Hope that helps.

Hello and welcome!

Just browse these boards. They should give you a good insight into ringneck life.

Just be prepared for ringneck bluffing.

Good luck and keep us updated about your soon to arrive baby!

Best wishes,

I.C.

Hello Carrie, Hang in there! I know it can be hard to get through this bluffing stage. My parrot went through the same thing and it really bothered me— I took it very personal. How could this bird that I handfed turn on me? I was very upset. Don’t worry and please don’t limit your sessions with him....

How do you mean bobbing his/her head? A pretty good indication of a female rigneck is the tilting of the head backwards wile being petted. While tilting her head back, she’ll cluck and pin her eyes. Males do not tilt their heads back, but they just sit there. So I am guessing that’s what you mean by...

WOW!!!! I am happy to hear that you got your ringneck back! Thanks for sharing this story with us as well! It’s amazing how much these balls of feathers can take up so much room in our hearts! I am happy you got your little girl back! Good idea for clipping the wings too. I know it’ fun to see your ...

Congrats!!! How exciting! I know how excited I was when my IRN uttered his first word. I was so pleased. Nice job and give your IRN a nice big treat for me. To kick his vocabulary up, start with another word. But first practice “Laura” with him until it’s nice and clear. Get ready cause your ringnec...

Parrots that usually mate with perches, toys, and stuffed animals were usually handfed. I don’t know why handfeds practice this behavior—they just do. The only way to fix this problem is time. You’ll just have to wait till he “gets it right.” Just keep a hen with your male during breeding season and...

They can but it should not be done. As it is, African Ringnecks are more difficult to purchase than IRNs and are not as popular. Mixing the two species would only taint the bloodline making it more difficult in the future to purchase purebred ARN. So I would stay away from this practice. Hope this h...

That’s a good question. My male Ringneck was purchased from a bird farm and his toes were bitten off. How? I don’t know but I am guessing it’s probably from another Ringneck. He is very capable of mating with his female and they produce very well. So the only answer available it to just wait it out ...

Welcome to this forum! I really can't help you with the prices in England; however, i can give you a better insight to cost here in the U.S. Green IRNs are about 100-120 American dollars. Yellow and blue 150-250. Rest can lead to thousands Hope this helps! Take care, I.C. P.S. Sorry about your budgi...

LoL! Thanks for sharing the pic! Your ringneck looks very cute indeed!

That's really neat! Welcome to this site!

Hello Lisa Welcome to this forum! Which state do u live in? If you live in CA (Southern) I might be able to help you w/ your baby. I sold out really quick w/ my last clutch. But if you are out of state please click this link. m Hope this helps and good luck finding your baby. I know when I wanted to...

Hey, I am going to have four baby Ringnecks ready to hatch in two weeks. If anyone is interested I am selling them for $125 each (firm). I will start hand feeding after they are ten days old. I will not ship them so you must make arrangements to pick up your baby. I am located in Southern California...

Hello Nice pictures... I think your he is a she I can tell by her eyes and her body and head shape.. I could be wrong..but i am 80% sure it's a female.. Just thought I would give you a "heads up." CUTE photos..reminds me of misty's bird... Take care and thanks for sharing! I.C.

Hello Sheena, Welcome to this forum. It could be a disease; however, I don’t think that’s what’s wrong with your Ringneck. Take him to the vet to be sure though; brownbeak is right, nothing wrong with an extra vet check up. More than likely your male Ringneck is in love with his bell. Parrots regurg...

Hello Carrie, Wow, sounds like you need some help! Firstly, welcome to this forum! Hope you find all your IRN needs here. Let me start out to say—don’t panic. I am going to assume your Ringneck is around 12-16 weeks old. Some Ringnecks, after they have been weaned, resort back to being spoon or hand...

Right on! That's mine too...ohh wait...he is playing with a roll now;) He he he..

Because the male is interested in Sisko, will he breed with the female he is paired with? Good Question, It all depends on the Ringneck. Ringneck males will display for almost anything they hear or see during breeding season. It might be just an over excited male letting off some steam; however, if...

Bluffing can come back; however, it will never be to the extreme as after the weaning. I don’t call this bluffing but just moodiness. As sweet as my male Ringneck is, which he could not hurt a fly, sometime he has those days were he just gives me a good bite. But as I hold him more and more he just ...

Right on the Money!

Hello Aw, I am happy this site has been a great help to you! Like you, I felt the basic IRN needs were not addressed and decided to open up a resource center for these awesome parrots. It’s cool that we can all learn from each other and better understand Ringnecks. For thousands of years these birds...

My wild female ringneck who is also housed outside under a shelter went through the same molt. I did notice though that she HATES baths! I stated to give her a bath every other day and it worked. The feathers started to come back. I was almost ready to take my female to the vet but the feathers star...

It could be bluffing and the environment change. I got a really good article on bluffing coming soon. I am trying to make it as detailed as possible. Search for bluffing and you’ll see a great deal about it here.

Thank you for sharing that! I know how exciting it can be when your IRN speaks their first word! How old is your hen? About what age did she start to talk? I would walk around the house like a broken record, but it worked and now my little guy is a chatterbox! LoL!! In a matter of weeks he started t...

The most simple and a favorite chew toy for my Ringneck is a toilet paper roll treaded through the perch.

Hello Chris The female will not always chase the male. Every Ringneck is different. Give them time to breed. I will say though it seems like you have just purchased new Ringnecks and breeding season has just started. If you are lucky you might get a clutch of eggs this year; however, next year is a ...

Thanks for that information! I’ll check that out. I know very little when it comes to Ringneck genetics.

I.C.

Sounds like she is ready to lay eggs. Just give her lots of privacy and keep cage chores to a minimum. Feed her lots of vegetables as well.

I.C.

Hello Lindsey, Yep, Jodie is right. By the sounds of it you seem to have a female Ringneck. Females tilt their heads back and "cluck like a chicken." If you take a closer look you'll notice the eye pin as well. Female Ringnecks tend to form a stronger bond than males in my experience. Male Ringnecks...

Rosemary Your Ringneck is right of schedule when it comes to weaning. Just continue to offer hand feeding formula until your Ringneck totally rejects any formula. Ringnecks usually cut back on feedings to lighten up for flying. As long as he is eating or playing with his food I would not worry too m...

Hello Loretta, Ahh, don’t stress. You have to take into consideration that Ringnecks are not like most parrots. They truly are in their own category. Ringnecks do not form strong bonds like most parrots. They can quickly and easily accept a new mate and quickly change their minds. My breeding pair, ...

Hello Jodi The answer is apple cider vinegar. You will be amazed at how well this stuff works! Place a few drops into your Ringnecks drinking water. Do this every other week. My Ringnecks are in pristine shape, all except my untamed Ringneck male, which is due to his mate. This works wonders and I d...

Hello tzigane You did the right thing. I’ll admit that it was a shock for me to hear this news, but you did the responsible thing. Trust me, I can understand how loud a Ringneck can get. Sometimes my female Ringneck lets out this really annoying call that it sends shivers down my spine! Look on the ...

Wow! What a breakthrough that is! I know how exciting it can be, especially if you have put many hours and dedicated time to a bird that just will not open up. Nice job my friend and you deserve a pat on the back. Congratulations and it looks like you and your parrot are heading for a great relation...

Hello and welcome to this forum. Good question! I am going to assume Scatter dust is like pest control powder. Working with poultry and peafowl for many years we would place Sevin dust into the nest boxes. This worked great for controlling feather lice and mites. We would clean each nest cavity with...

Hello Welcome to this forum! You’ll need the patience. A two year old Ringneck can really present a challenge, none the less, can be tamed. My Ringneck loves meat as well, especially beef jerky and chicken. Just limit the meat intake. I believe too much protein for a Ringneck is not healthy. Ringnec...

Hello Welcome to this forum! Aw, thanks for the kind comments. I am happy the group is starting to grow as well. We need more Ringneck enthusiasts. I really enjoy reading other peoples post and learning from each other. Your Ringneck sounds really tame. Keep up the good work! If you scan the photos ...

Hello Welcome to this forum! Ken and Doreen is correct. Taming untamed Ringnecks can be very difficult; however, not impossible. I would first start out with separating them into different cages and possibly different rooms. Two Ringnecks which are housed together and placed into a strange environme...

Yeah I think he might have told a fib. I know it can be frustrating. Some breeders think that “US” bird enthusiast are uneducated in the subject and try to milk the situation. Besides it’s sad to say most breeders are in the bird business to make money and really don’t care what they do or how they ...

You might be right! Articles online come and go about Ringnecks! LoL!!!

Hope you had a wonderful news years.
