I have dreamt to have an indian ringneck parakeets for as long as I can remember. I used to spend hours a day reading all of you guys Fids, from ellieelectron's Janey problems to the dreaded bluffing of young indies. And finally m dream has come true, 3 days ago. I have given up hope in buying a young IRN, so when I went to my local to buy myself a cockatiel, what a surprise to buy 8 month old green IRN. And this is how my story began. Since I knew this forum it is like heaven. However, I warn you that I have TONS of questions, literally. So I bought my first young IRN and need as much help to raise a wonderful bird. And that is why I have come this forum, to enlist your help and share my experience with like-minded bird enthusiast.
So my new bird is sooooo cute and lovely. I fell in love with him instantly. He just looks TOOO CUTE. And he is very acrobatic and sly.

However this little bundle of joy is soooo scared from hands. Cant wait to start training with him, and get him tamed. Is 8 months considered young? And is 8 months a good age tp start training. Cant wait for your replies.
