balance problem???
Ok, so my IRN is 4 months old and when he sits on my finger he seems to fall backwards or start to lose his balance alot... once he starts to fall he flapps his wings and brings himself forward... he does it a lot... he also is extremely scared to be put down on flat surfaces or on items that are a little to big for his feet to wrap around... example if he walks from your finger to the back of your hand, he freaks out and starts flapping and jumping around untill he gets back on something like your finger... what is weird is he doesn't do this at all in his cage with any of his perches... is he just dumb and clumsy? or is this normal since he is still pretty young...
I have a 4-5 month old ringneck also. He tends to do that sometimes when standing on me, but he is very well balanced in his cage. It is odd. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Sky. It is true that young birds are kinda clumsy. Sky falls sometimes just walking around Sky doesn't like flat surfaces either. He tends to slip and trip and stuff. I don't think what your bird is doing is unusual, it's just to be expect of goofy babies. XD

I could say about 25% of my young are like drunkards till the age of 3-5 months...
I have one little critter that is a ratbag who just cant seem to sit still, can move around perfectly, just sitting on the perch he is far from steady..
He is perfectly healthy, very clean blood lines and bred from impecible stock. He is 6 months old now and still crazy unsteady... crazy little thing.
I would not worry yourself too much
