Lucky!
I was starting to think it was never guna end

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

Hehe, she wipes it all over me when he's done!
Just love her.. it's nice to walk in the door & have her call for me
Thanks everyone

So my baby isn't guna be snuggly forever? :'(
At the moment Bella cries for cuddles.. she loves kisses!
If she wants her head scratched she'll make it obvious & headbutt my hand with her head.. if i ignore it she quacks at me.. pmsl

This is my baby Bella, she's about 10 weeks old.. She loves smooches & her fave food is banana Just love her to bits Playing with her ball http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii136/Lauren616713/Basketball.jpg Enjoying her brekkie http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii136/Lauren616713/brekkie.jpg T...

Ok my 10 week old IRN has been very grouchy today.. she attacked my brother (who yesterday she had smooches with) & has bitten me 3 times today (not hard enough to break skin but hard enough) :S.. She's pinning her eyes at lots of things..
Is this bluffing? Or is she just having a bad day?

I've only had my IRN a few days but so far the only thing he's turned his nose up to is cucumber.. She loves apples, grapes, plum, pear, watermellon, orange, strawberrys.. Her fave food is banana (which is my fave food so i'm now forced to share my banana whenever i have one.. yes i mean forced if i...

Hi, the cage i bought is 70cm high, 40 cm wide, & 60 cm long..

Eeek
I wouldn't clip if my birds did that

Having little kids running around the house etc for safety reasons all my birds (who are handled) wings are clipped (besides one) purely because i could never forgive myself if while out my birds got a scare & flew into something & broke their neck! (have seen it happen). I think provided th...

So go the tall cage?
How wide should it be?
It's 130 cm tall

Yeah i'd never hit him.. with my other birds if their naughty they go to their cage & have timeout.

He's to cute to punnish Not sure how i should get him use to males as my both my stepdad & my brother hate him & would tease him I guess i'll have to con my pop or uncle into being nice to him A year :S.. ok might take some patience.. haha Thanks Just noticed my lovely grammar in the title.....

My weero who i've had 4-5 years is the most friendliest bird ever (to me).. he has never bitten me, loves to cuddle & have smooches & pines when i go outa his site.. when i put him in his cage he runs to the corner i'm nearest & screeches to come out (normally i feel sorry for him so he ...

Thanks Julie for your reply.. i was thinking uh oh.. lol
He has very nice manners & would never dream of biting (well not me anyway hahaha)
Thankyou

Whoops.. i must admit i let my weero sit on my shoulder He'll sit their while i'm on the computer or reading etc; Though he doesn't sit their on his own accord (i'll put him up their).. & he also will jump onto my finger soon as i ask.. He has never ever bitten me in the 4 years i've had him.. I...

That's the type of cage i was looking at getting.. but wasn't sure if they'd use the height of it or would prefer a wider cage more.

As the title says, what's better, a thin but tall cage? or a wide but not very high cage? For an IRN with wings clipped.

Hi Thanks for the reply I have picked out a baby i'm not sure if his owner is a member of this forum so i'll ask permission before i post a pic of him/her she took. I'm trying to read up on as much stuff on them before i get my new bird. I'll try doing a search on bluffing Think i got it figured out...

Thanks heaps everyone for the great replies. So i'm thinking i'll feed budgie seed & mix in some sunflower seeds.. Then on the third day give only pellets. Every 3rd day i'll feed fruit & vegs Will the chew on flowers? (My lorikeets like to chew on wattles) What type of nuts do you feed? Sou...

Hey hoping someone can give me some more info on bluffing..
I'd like to know when it happens?
How long they bluff for?
& what you did to lessen the amount of bites you recieved through the bluffing stage
Thanks

Hi, sorry for all the silly questions but can someone tell me what i should feed a ringneck (i'm buying one as soon as i get a cage).. I've read that they can't have a pure seed diet so how much seed should i allow? & what type of seed? Also read that people feed pellets.. what are these pellets...

Ohh was about to make a thread of the same thing
Bella that 2nd cage is huuuuge!
Do ringnecks tend to be fairly active birds? (my lorrikeets hop around & constantly play but wasn't sure if ringnecks are the same)

Hello, i'm new
I'm about to buy a baby Ringneck so i've joined to get some info etc; as i've never had a ringneck (though i've owned many cockatiels, budgies & also have 2 rainbow lorikeets)..
So any help would be appreciated
