wow gorgeous birds! I love that Sue has a white head. Is that color morph hard to find? Isn't it called something like a clear head? Probably expensive huh

SkyBaby

the only other bird I have with a ring neck is Mika the Alex.They both have the same attitude and can handle each others temperaments. I have heard of people with cockatiels with ring necks. Hmm that's an idea. I'd need a bigger cage to make room for the alex, but that's doable. Thanks for your rep...

SkyBaby

ok so i'm dying to get another bird. The only problem is my husband wont let me do it even if it's only a budgie in a smaller cage cuz he doesn't want another cage. So I want to know if there are any birds who can live with ringnecks. His cage is good sized, the dimensions are 30"wide x 35"...

Fid= Feathered Kid

hope that helped.

I don't breed and I 'm no where near an expert on parrots. Here's my 2 cents from what I've read about ringnecks and parrots in general so far: Parrots can be pretty territorial. The females of the ringnecks can be aggressive. That divider you had was just enough for each bird to have their spaces a...

SkyBaby

SO ADORABLE! I wish my Skye liked baths.

SkyBaby

I'd have to say.. turquoise! The darker colored kind. I love any kind of turquoise though. It was funny.. when I was looking at getting a ringneck, a turquoise was a bit pricy. I found Skye at a petstore and blue was my second favorite mutation so i brought him home and over the span of the next yea...

SkyBaby

I've seen that movie a million times, first on animal planet and then on youtube. I NEVER get tired of it ^_^ I just love it. Thanks for posting it!

SkyBaby

Skye is a male I think. I haven't ever had him DNA'd. He does the dance all the time. He opens his wings to that heart shape and strutts around and does the wood pecker thing and makes kissy sounds and stretches as far as he can from one side to the other. He also hops a bit. It's really cute. And m...

The reason why putting her in her cage isn't "getting the point across" is because her mind is in somewhere else and you're just disciplining her for whatever she's doing that second . I think what you should do is get a few toys you can hold that are much brighter colored and cooler than ...

SkyBaby

Wow.. he's beautiful!!

I love the blue ringies! My Skye is about 10-11 months old and looks a bit like yours.

SkyBaby

Skye and I welcome you here and can't wait to see pics. Wow! That's quite a collection of critters! I don't have a problem with bedtime blues. I'm lucky. I have a long ladder that goes from the bottom of Skye's cage (it's on a stand) to the floor. He will walk from wherever he happens to be in our a...

SkyBaby

welcome here! I love the lutinos! post some pics!!

SkyBaby

Skye did this at 6 months of age now he's 10 months old and does the full blown male dance. it's funny XD

SkyBaby

my ringie gets those flakes from time to time too. It's normal from what I can tell. if you're worried, the vet is always a good place to go. As you said, he's clearly connecting you holding him with him going back to his cage. Try to catch him, then hold him with out putting him back in his cage an...

SkyBaby

they're totally gorgeous! I love the lutino (or creamino?)!

SkyBaby

Only one bird atm. Hopefully that will change. ;D His name is Skywalker. My husband and I are both Star Wars fans. We bought him as a blue (same bird in my sig) and now he's a turquoise! started growing green feathers about 5 months after I got him. I was thrilled, as turquoise is my fav IRN color. ...

SkyBaby

Skye's wings are clipped atm. A bit over clipped though, so he falls like a rock when he tries to fly. I'm going to let him regrow his wings then give him a partial clip and work on flight recall with him. Then as he gets better at it, i'm gonna let him have full wings.

SkyBaby

I'm so sorry!! that's awful!! If that fire is arson, i hope they find whatever slime did this lock that slime up for a good long while.

SkyBaby

I'm happy to hear you and yours got out unscathed. Thanks for letting us know! I've been praying for everyone over there.

SkyBaby

Chocobo has a really good idea. Wrap it with some chicken wire. There are certain issues with the metals of outdoor fencing material.. some are toxic. I don't remember those though. I'm sure someone who knows what they're talking about will come by and give you some really good info. A ringie could ...

SkyBaby

There isn't really a right or wrong answer any of us can give you. Some say yes, clip, and some are very against it. That's just their opinion and I'm sure they have good reasons for deciding yes or no. You pick whichever you think is right based on your individual bird and situation. My ringy's win...

SkyBaby

Sky looks awesome, amazing colours! How have you managed with the training? It's good to hear we're doing everything right...we want to be the best owners we can be! Well something really good happened tonight. We decided to take the less involved approach....I opened the cage and we just left them...

SkyBaby

You guys are doing everything right so far!! keep up the good work!! my Skye came from a pet store, too! He's about 11 months old now.

SkyBaby

hey welcome here!!

SkyBaby

Skye was not tame when I first got him. He was hand-fed, but not hand- raised . There's a difference. Hand-fed, the babies are fed and put away. when babies are hand raised, the babies are fed, cuddled until they fall asleep, and then are put away and played with after they wake up from the first na...

SkyBaby

Are male birds more talkative than the girls? Just in terms of the amount of natural birdy noises they make througout the day? Skye has been chattering and whistling and all sorts of cute sounds for past like.. 4 hours straight. He's been sitting out here on his play gym while my husband and I do st...

SkyBaby

thank u very much really for ur help... and for first question of the salty water what i should do,,, leave him clean him self or but him in worm water path? Oh wow! i just read this. Poor little guy!! Glad he survived it, though!! I would give him a warm bath/shower. It could be that the salt in t...

SkyBaby

aww how sweet!! I love the baby shots!!

SkyBaby

he sounds sweet! I can't wait to see pics!!

SkyBaby

aww your little guy/gal is gorgeous! I can't believe Skye is already 10 months old. Time does fly!!

SkyBaby

oh my!! that guy is gorgeous!! I would so love to get one of those! I wonder how much one would cost in the US?

SkyBaby

They're gorgeous!! I love the lutinos!! Can't wait to see pics of any babies they have!!

SkyBaby

That's really cute! I love that toy loop swing thingy he's on in the second vid. I wanna make one of those.

Mine is practicing hi in the same high pitched voice i say it in.

SkyBaby

some birds never do learn to talk or imitate a single thing. Some are specialists in sound-effects. Some only talk a little bit. Some do it all. It's all just up to the bird. Don't stop trying though! Constant repetition. A couple ideas that may help: You could tape record yourself talking and play ...

You're welcome!

I upload any pictures I want to post here to photobucket (shrink them a bit of course) and once they're on photobucket, I copy the IMG URL thingy and paste it here.

SkyBaby

I'm so sorry!! But he did have a good life with you. I'm sure he knew how much you loved him and felt that to his last moments.

SkyBaby

Hi, Thank you for replying, they were both registered and DNA sexed when I purchased them from the breeder. ..Skye is beautiful, and welcome to the wonderful world of Parrot's, I have a total of 6 and love them all like children! That's pretty cool! I dunno what gender Skye is. He's confusing me. x...

SkyBaby

Well.. the oldest one is only 7 months old. He's probably got closer to another 9-10 months to go before you see any actual black feathers. Have you had them DNA tested? My guy Skye has the dark-ish shadow, but females can have that too. The funny thing is, Skye does some behaviors that are 'female'...

SkyBaby

Hey! Welcome here!! I have a turquoise IRN as well!! He was solid blue when I got him then just started randomly growing green feathers mix in the blue. XD Can't wait to see pictures your fid and your son's fid!!

SkyBaby

So cute! I love the one ear sticking up thing. that's adorable!!

SkyBaby

Skye has two fav toys. A bamboo ladder cut into sections and those sections linked together at the corner with rope tide around in random places and a large preening, rope toy type thing.

SkyBaby

Thanks everyone, the bluffing has now stopped.. Only lasted about 2 weeks.. most painfull bite was when she grabbed the skin above my eye! Ouchhh That's great she's settled down now!! I'm so lucky i don't have to go through this. Skye was also about 4 months old when we got him, so a bit too old to...

I have the Aviator harness for my ringie, Skye. I tried the feathe-tether. Those things are junk. How I got him to get used to the aviator was to have it draped on me while cuddling. At first he freaked. Then he got used to it to the point where while giving him scritchies, i could slip the head loo...

SkyBaby

Poor baby!! That's so sad. I just don't understand why anyone would want to do this to any animal.

His tail feather will grow back with the next molt. Don't worry.

Thanks SkyBaby And yes, cockatoo's can be very loud My neighbour used to feed them all the time(cockies and galahs), they came like clockwork very early in the morning and at dusk until all the other neighbours complained about being woken up every morning, needless to say our local Council was cal...

SkyBaby

Your babies are just so cute!

I've never seen a wild parrot before. If you count the ones living by Los Angeles, California, then I guess I have. I dunno how 'wild' they are tho. I would love to see a wild 'too. Those buggars must be loud tho huh.XD
