Hey again. I have got the little IRN home. He is so sweet. :D I have a question as this is my first ringneck. On this little video I have made, He say a little scratting sound . Is that because he talks or is he annoyed ? sometimes if feels like we have some kind of conversation where i talk and he ...

Madhuri

10609270_10203114349152469_1068766699_n.jpg Well I have been away for quite awhile. BUT!! Today i am finally picking up my IRN baby !! There is a little story going with him, as he and his brother were both not treated well by the parrents and they picked their feathers out. So they had to take the...

Madhuri

Thank you so much for all your reply , i am glad to hear thje answer that hey should stay with parents as long as possible.
I can now say i have reserved a blue IRN, and i will get it fully weaned in begining of November. whe its fully finished. I cant wait. !!!

Madhuri

I think you are doing a great job. I wouldnt let him on your shoulder until you trust him and he have stopped his attacks. I would put him back in his cage or on his play stand. til he calm down. avoid too much eye contact. talk to him while in the cage and treat him when doing good. Keep up the goo...

Madhuri

Oh that is very exciting. Looking forward to follow you and the babies. I am planning on handfeeding two in spring here in denmark - which will be april /may :) so will look forward to hear how it goes and deffinitly see pictures. About pics.. do they not need to be a certain size small to be able t...

Madhuri

I have a question I have read at a page, ( cant remember which) that if you want hand feed a little baby you should take them from parrents when they are about 14 days. And they are finsihed weaning when they are beween 10 - 15 weeks. But i see many here that have got new birds at teh age og 3 weeks...

Madhuri

I am not an expert in aviaries , but most aviary birds have acces to both outside and inside doing the winter. There is a heated area inside where there are food and water and maybe nests if breeding, and then a whole they can go out. Birds have to get used to the weather here because its gets prety...

Madhuri

InTheAir. Thank you now i understand your :) thank you for explaining. Yes it good that people get more interested in making a better life for birds, and start trying to understand thier beahviour. I was also a dog/horse person when i was younger, stil am a dog person and still thinkl horses are ama...

Madhuri

Hey InTheAir Thank you so much :D what you write here, would you explain that to me, as i am not sure exactly what you mean? What does " Keeping styles " mean , and " becommeing more popular likee flighted"? I am really interested in whether modern training and keeping styles for...

Madhuri

Well said Doodlebug and i agree with every word

Madhuri

Hey InTheAir it sound really nice with your bird. Actually i have read some more into it aswell, and the more i think about it i wish they would not write so warningly about it. Cause then you might expect it to happen and maybe even provoke to it with out want to. my little Meyers was soo cute. and...

Madhuri

Sounds lovely.

have a great weekend yourself

Madhuri

Thank you for your comment Komodo.

I am glad to hear training can help that issue . I am going to visit a breeder tomorrow. Hopefully. I am looking so much forward to it

Madhuri

I agree with Komodo, i would never clip my birds wings . It is the owners job to keep him safe, birds have wings to fly. It is the same as breaking little boys legs to say its so he wont run out and get hurt. So sad. If you want a bird, you should take precausions to make his environment safe enough...

LIKE

Madhuri

LOL thank you MissK and Skye_crew. I do a lot of reading languge on my little Meyers , and it helps me a lot.., i have done that with all my birds. And i love when i can read them and aviod unfortunte behavior. it makes me happy and also i can see they are less vary of me when i also act in a calm w...

Madhuri

Thank you MissK. I understand what you say., And i would never wing clip any of my birds ever. I just wonderd. so many i have talked to have told me they just love this breed and will never have another, and that does not goes hand in hand with a general bird that bite. And with that i mean nippy., ...

Madhuri

I have been reading some or many of the post here, and i can see many have problems with biting. Is that something in general they do also when the bluffing period is over? Is that general behavior for Ringnecks ?

Madhuri

Aw he looks really cute !! I think maybe wait with the command sound til he know what its all about., When you get him to turn, praise him and reward. if you put the command on before he is sure about the trick, you might in the end have taught him not to turn before you have said it 2- 3- 4- times ...

Madhuri

PS, Thank you
Englsih can be tricky sometimes.. LOL but glad you understand what i write

Madhuri

Yes i think you should train him. I also think what ellieelectrons say , maybe a little less out time. you can easily spend timw with your bird without taking him out., I dont know if you know trick -or target training. I used with succes that kind of training wiht my cockatoo , and even thoughj i k...

Madhuri

Wauw she is adorable. Gratulation. Its the right way you chose to let her do it in her own time and pace. Good luck with her.

Madhuri

After what i have read, it sound like Bluffing. They do it to the older bird in the flock as well and they ignore them. I think the best is not to do too much training in this periode as you might accidently train some unfortunate behaviour. I think take it easy with him and hope it will go over aga...

Madhuri

Exactly., LOL thank you for understanding. Sometimes it goes to fast typing.

Madhuri

LOL there is a lot of flaws in my writing i can see. that. The riding hall were a place where the bird that is not secure to just let out in the free, can come and they can fly all they like without thier owner have to be afraid they fly away. I have never had a bird trained for free flight. but i c...

Madhuri

Aw that is really sweet the way you tell about your bird MissK. Thats how i hope i will be. I have had amazone and timneh before, but i am looking so much forward to get to know this little breed of bird . They sound so wonderful <3

Madhuri

My motivation is a Pet. I think they looks like sweet birds, also what i have read about them .

Madhuri

LOL yes you are right it is wonderful to see them for full speed and you can really see how they enjoy using thier energy. I Havent been trying that before.. but iin the bird society here there is a man that train free fligth birds.. he sometimes rent a bit riding hall. ( not sure its the right word...

Madhuri

We treasure flighted birds here. Not many clip wings here.

And i agree. i think birds got wings to fly, and if we chose to have a bird it is our resposiblity to make sure that a flighted bird wont get hurt.

But i also know it is a delicate subject and there are many different oppinions.

Madhuri

Well i think no matter how much one tries to learn ,there is always much more to be learned. But i think its important to at least do what one can. That way things might be a little better. But having said that, all birds , well living beings, are all individuals. It is impossible to know everything...

Madhuri

Thank you so much ellieelectrons , that is good to know. I have a little Meyers and i was hoping they might be able to get along when out of the cage so maybe they also could make a kind of friendship. i know you can never know before they meet. but i still hope they can have joy time together thoug...

Madhuri

Thank you all so much for the kind welcome Intheair - i will look forward to your thead about your new bird. it will be interesting to follow. :) Dixie--1 its a cute bird you have there :) MissK i will look around regularly. Maybe one will show up. I am in no hurry as i want to learn as much possibl...

Madhuri

Is there any remarkably different in the behaviour of females or males IRN? Good or bad things that is important to know before buying a bird?

Madhuri

Thank you for your advise MissK. I will look at the breeder page. However. Ringnecks are not normally kept here in denmark as tame birds. So it would be very diffecult to find an older bird already tame. They are mostly held as avairy birds. Also we do not have any of those shelters for birds here w...

Madhuri

Hello i am from Denmark. I have fallen in love with the little indian ringneck, and am planing to get one in the spring. So right now i am just looking around and try and learn as much as possible about them before getting one. This site looks really great as there is not many if any tame ringnecks ...
