afternoon all,
a week ago i brought two Male ring necks, one is 5 months and the other is 7 months. I understand they are still young and will take time, but any advice on how i can get them used to me, Even if i just walk into the room they move to the back of the cage.
I spend time with them everyday talking to them. offering them a slice of apple. But nothing. Will they just bond together rather than with me and be afraid all the time?
So far the older has not made a sound and the younger, every now and again a squawk. (he started yesterday)
Of course i dont want them to grow up still being afraid of me and ever get them to come to me or even speak.
any help or advice please?

Hi,
It should be possible to get them used to you. Try doing a search on this forum, as taming is a very well discussed subject on here.
My favourite off site websites are www.behaviorworks.org, www.goodbirdinc.com and www.learningparrots.com (I hope I got that last one right, I'm super tired and can't be bothered searching it right now!)
Regards,
Claire
