Re: What do these behaviors mean?
Oh I see. I would gladly give him a mate if I could. But I just can't take on another bird. It's not unhealthy for him to be attached to his toys though is it?

Re: What do these behaviors mean?
@ellieelectrons: thank you so much that does help a lot! Mostly the gestures you say are courting behaviors, he does to his toys lol. He regurgitates to them as well. Is that normal? I was a little concerned about that.
@julie: I hadn't thought of that, thank you! I will definitely try it.

Re: What do these behaviors mean?
aaaww haha that's so cute! he is really sweet, but he isn't into being pet. He has a weird thing about hands, it's not too bad but he sometimes gets upset with hands to close to him - or his stuff haha.

Re: Fear of hands and being covered up
He isn't terrified of hands - he will still take treats from me (though he usually tries to snatch whatever I have for him and run away lol). Sometimes I will hold my finger out a few inches from his face and wiggle it up and down and he'll look kind of upset but then he'll bob his head along with m...

Fear of hands and being covered up
I adopted my male IRN when he was already six years old. I know little about his life before he wound up at a local bird store - just that his original owner died and he developed a plucking habit as a result. He is very happy with me now that he's been with me for about five months, though he's sti...

What do these behaviors mean?
I adopted a six year old green male indian ringneck about six months ago, and though I've been doing a ton of research on this breed for a long time before and after purchasing one, there's a few things I'm still confused about. Eye pinning: is there any particular reason why they pin they're eyes? ...

About six months ago I adopted a green male Indian Ringneck that was six years old at the time I brought him home. I was thinking the same thing you were - whether he was going to have serious behavioral probl...
