Be aware folks, that IRN's at 3 months are a very different bird from an IRN whose 8 months plus in age. Females being A LOT more "territorial" about there cage and being handled. This particularly species IMO has to be handled a certain way. As opposed to other species of Psittacus that relish cuddling and overall handling. It's very different from species to species and totally dependent on the birds individual behavior. But as far as IRN's go there behavior is quite similar as a whole.
However, once he's stepped up onto my finger if i cup my hand or kiss him he's ok but still a bit nervous at times. I've been in the avian field for nearly 30yrs now with both wild & domestic experience. And from the folks i've talked with who own this breed of bird it's just the nature of IRN's not liking being touched. He certainly talks up a storm though....lol
I have a GCC or Green-Cheek Conure and an IRN Indian Ringneck. Kiwi my GCC LOVES attention like this, and has picked up a lot of words from Keiko my IRN. However, Keiko is afraid of hands unfortunately. He will come out of his cage on his own, and only step-up once he's landed safely to the floor.
@Prashmash Not all parrots hate their backs being touched. This one obviously likes it, and mine loves a good back rub. It scratches itches they can't easily reach themselves.
@SuperRehank they can live for around 25 years if taken care of (pellet and vege fruit diet) but it has ben recorded that an Indian Ringneck lived 50 years!
lovely bird ...i also have a few of them (i call them my kids & treat them as kids). they are very loving & allow touching (they even kiss). they are show off & like to show their skills of talking & dancing.
Rubbing a mature bird's body (beyond the back of their head) is considered like a sexual gesture and could make him sexually frustrated and have behavioral problems.
@Rebeccas7Suns Note the use of the word "could". Just putting the information out there. I've been a bird owner most of my life, and haven't had any issues with my birds, nor any one else's that I've handled. No need to be a smart ass, sweetie. :)
I stay in india and we have a bunch (15-20 of these wild parrots everyday) on Banyan tree in front of our house! They love banyan tree fruits (red in color) like anything. They also visit our balcony and perch on the box grill surrounding windows when no one is in the room!
@twirrlytoez it is idiots like you that perpetuate stupidity in the world and i have made it my business to point out the morons of the world. because if i don't who will?

I live in india and parrots (atleast 10-15) come and sit in our balcony regularly. There is a banyan tree right in front of my bedroom window and we get another 20-30 parrots sitting there always. Feels sooooooo good to have green patch of trees with the best view of parrots in a very crowded, filthy and polluted city of people. I can hear those parrots through Skype/gtalk when I travel abroad and chat with my parents.
you can tell he is socialized because when he is stroked he gets that content look, and his eyes shut...that's sayiung, "I like this...more more more!'...
@skaterkhan You should see my ringneck 3 days after I got him or her it was climbing on my hand.. After a week it starting flying to me from its cage :)
@skaterkhan Parrots just like people need attention and cuddles to feel happy so once you earn their trust they usually want to be touched. My little Yoshi begs for cuddles all the time!
@themelissaduo I got the wings of my birds clipped, but I regret it. They lost the ability of flight. They flapped their wings all day long, but couldn't achieve anything. I don't do that anymore because it is cruel to the animal.
i gota green ring neck and he is 13 weeks old he is the same color as yours and his name is charlie but he is scared of me i have had him 6 or 7 days how can i tame him ?
@liaamgooding Don't approach a new pet. ALWAYS, give a pet time to adjust to its environment first. Then build trust. By not doing things that scare it. Finally, after about 1 month, put some food in your hand, something that the parrot likes, and calmly, gently, and slowly put your hand in the cage. Hold still, be quiet, and wait for the reaction. If Charlie does something violent, like biting you, don't yell, or scare the bird. Try again another day. But if the bird... look at my next commet.

@lee123chill That happened to my baby bird. He was almost on the verge of death from stress and lonliness. But I got about $20 from my wallet, went to Petsmart, and I bought a budgie. Even though they are different species of parrots, they got along, played, and helped each other. In about a week, both birds were as jolly and happy as Santa. A budgie, commonly called a parakeet, can be purchased almost at any pet shop, & They don't cost too much, and they can get along with anyone, even a baby.
Hi, Gypsy was only a baby when I was doing this, but she still lets me pet her very often.. You just have to get one from when they are a baby and a handraised one by a reputable breeder.
Hi You just have to spend alot of time with it to bond..
It takes along time.
You can spend up to 30 mins a day just talking then eventually put some food on your hand or a special treat like corn on the cob they love that or apple.
@joekickass2819 , ringnecks love fresh grapes, and i would suggest not trying to handle him at all until he will eat what you put down, or on top of his cage, then as he builds confidence that he is not your lunch but rather you are giving him food... he wont be as likely to be afraid for his life and bite because of it. next step would be to try and touch him or have your hand near him for a bit without him totally freaking out,, remove your hand for a brief period than do it again,,
@joekickass2819 and also when you go in to touch him at this step, when he does go to nip you (this may be difficult but it will work wonders) take the bite like you are on the top of the food chain, and let him know that it wont deter you from touching him or her, (only if he isnt totally freaking out but only going to bite or nip) it will work if you are gentle in the way you try this approach and not scared.
aww, he's huge for 3 months!!! What a pretty bird... I just got one and am working on taming him, he bites and is very afraid... any suggestions, everybody tells me something different!
@queendiva73 First of all you need to find out if the bird is interested in you in any way. If not... Sel him and get a tame one or a baby you can hand feed. If the bird dont find you interesting in any way, he probably wont get attached to you for a long time. But if its the only pet you have, then maybe its going to succeed anyway, because youre the only one there.
@guldemondje that makes no sense..... I want to know how to work with the bird, not sell him.... that's irresponsible... sell him untamed so he can get passed around... Feh...
@queendiva73 you could sell to an aviary. But if you want to keep him, put him in a cage so you can keep him near you all the time. Talking helps, they like the company. Feed him something he likes, then they come nearer without being forced to come near you and he wil trust you more. also cut the feathers (not the arm, you can search on google how to do that) so he cant fly away if you take him out. It helps the bird avantually to relax more and he gets more dependant on you since he cant fly.
@guldemondje that makes more sense...I have been holding him in a towel and put his cage by my seat in the living room, he does seem a lot less afraid... I clipped his wings a while back so he can just glide to the floor, not fly up...
Last one was my dear.i didnt buy it he came from somewhere into my fields i kept him few months and one day he flew away....god bless all birds and animals..
Last one was my dear.i didnt buy it he came from somewhere into my fields i kept him few months and one day he flew away....god bless all birds and animals..
@janetp414 Hey, you should get a baby ringneck as young as possible so you can handfeed. They get very attached to you if you do that. Get one thats not older than 5 weeks. If it still gets aggressive the bird is really weird or something in its surroundings isnt right, but really most of the time you get a wonderfull pet by handfeeding them. If you don't have time to do that try getting one from a handfeeder who breeds at home and puts a lot of time into it.
You can get Indian ring neck parrots on the streets of India because you can find them anywhere in the country But don't buy them cause they are wild and can cause injuries "
Only wild caught birds are illeagal in the country..i have a IRN with a closed ring...got it @ 25 days old..is now 3 months old ....if u get it from a reputed breeder you won have much problem..plus IRN's are not an endangered species ..if you are lookin 4 a family pet ..get a female
You can get Indian ring neck parrots on the streets of India because you can find them anywhere in the country But don't buy them cause they are wild and can cause injuries
Hi You may be right about the streets of India .But Indian ringnecks are not wild if they are bred by the right people I have seen the most beautiful tame ringnecks from alot of different professional breeders.
This is Australia not India... That I live in.
Do not come on here telling people not to buy ringnecks because they are a beautiful bird and if treated and bred right they are as good a pet bird as any other. And no I do not breed ringnecks.
i bought my baby indian ringneck 4 days ago and for the 3 days it was fine lets me pet him and kiss him on his beck and steps up and the forth day he started to bite and its aggresive but it come and on ur hand and shoulder but it dosnt let u pet him and it bites when put ur finger afront of him or about to take him out of cage .... help me...
Hi, is it possible to train an older ringneck? I have one that's more than one year old now and she won't let me pet her.. any thoughts? (I got her a few months ago when she was already a bit old..)
Hi I do believe it is possible to train an older bird of any kind but it takes alot longer..
set a certain amount of time aside for you and your bird only take him/her to a quiet room and first just talk alot to him to bond with him.
This bond time is enormous and could take several months. If you want to after a while open his cage door let him fly around get to know your bird and when time is up you either put a really great favorite treat you know he will enter back in his cage for.
heyy themelissaduo, im asking u this because u seem to know what your talking about and im in a bit of a situation, i have had an indian ring neck for a while now and he is around 1 year 6 months of age, and during the days he is out in the backyard on a big swing i made for him and my 3 other cockatiels, and they have been great but about 2 hours ago my ring neck started chasing an cockatial and i went to grab him an he bit me for the first time, do u know why he did this coz hes not like that
no i got all 4 birds around the same time and have had them for about 7 months now, everytime i put my hand out to him to pick him up since that time hi bit me he keeps trying to bite me but say i try to kiss him or just put my face near him hes ok, also once i pick him up and just hold onto him his fine, its just when i try to take him away from his area, maybe hes biting because 2 out of the 3 cockatiels bite, and he was chasing the one that bites the hardest, he only went after the one bird
and maybe he himself has been bitten by this cockatiel the only way to maybe stop it is to seperate the biter from the rest.
maybe handling all of them more frequentley so they know biting is not worth it because you are still going to pet them and handle them no matter what. Birds only bite for a reason it's trying to work out that reason and fixing it. Hard work though, good luck..
Eventually place this special treat on your hand and offer but do not force Eventually the bird should come to you and your friendship is now stronger. Good luck...
than you for replying me.....i spend alot of time with him/her cause i have him/her in my room so am always talking to him her but i have only had him/her for a week today how long will it take for me get him to trust me
It could take weeks to 3-4 months depends how much time everyday you spend.
They will talk too, mine has only just started to talk he/she is 2 years now.
Believe me the more time you put in the more you will get out of the bird, be patient I know sometimes it may seem useless but one day you and your bird will be great together.
hi i was wondering if you could help me i got the 12 weeks old indian ringneck from the petshop how do i tame him or make it ok for me to go to his cage without him well it getting upset please help me
I have spent alot of time with My irn . Indian ring necks are the type of bird you have to spend everyday for as much time as possible to build trust and a bond. If you put in the time you will be rewarded. If your bird is only 12 weeks thats still young enough to tame, time and patience, but be warned irn's are a more aggressive bird than most and I have been told that you have to spend time everyday with them or they will go back to being wild again.
When I first bought my irn I had it out the cage everday for an hour and I would play and scratch it and talk to it. Irn's get startled and pin their eyes when they are about to bite. Their bite is pretty painful, if you can get trust you will be fine.
Breeders are very good at quessing. Mine said based on some of his characteristics you could tell it was a male. This was 15 years ago, so I forget the criteria.
Actually you may be wrong. You can only differenshade them by the ring when they are 1 year old and matured, at this age, it's only possible to tell their sex by DNA testing. But still a good point.
Mine waited till he was almost 3 years old to grow his ringed neck feathers. I had been calling him a pretty girl all those years, and now he's a girly bird. He's so prissy! I adore him anyway. He's 16 now.
usually parrots dont like to be touchd above the head, its percieved as a threat, mine took some time but swaying her with talking and interacting (playing toys) and feeding, helps alot.. the relationship with my girl started it was rocky cause she was a rescue she hated to be pet, but i worked with her, talking to her giving her treats and eventually petting.. some birds loves to have the back of their head rubbed.but dont force the subject let him get comyfy- if u have any q's let me know :)
i just rescued an indian ringneck from a negletful family shes banded (so pet store im guessing ) and very shy but still knows step up and no shes under a 2 yrs old maybe not even 1 but i since your was a rescue to i was wondering how you worked with him or her
alot of love and treats.. find her favorite treat - mine loves peanuts and sunflower seeds.. you can also take baby steps, walking closer raising your hand near her, making slow movements so she doesnt startle. Some birds are patient.. dont be afraid trust your animal and talk to her all the time.. that way she can get use to you.
Then ring grows at the age of 2 aprox. Some birds grow (reach maturity age)faster than others, just like humans.
I have an Indian Ringneck too! He/she is 1 year old and 1 month. He/she relies on me and we have a good relationship. But she/he doesn't like to be pet/touched like yours..
Please, any suggestions?
PS: for example, if I put my hand above him/her and I want to touch him/her he opens the beak sometimes, and does not like it. Although we have a good relationship.
How log have you had the ringneck? what need to do is just spend more time with it like having it on your body hanging out while your talking on the phone and let it get used to you more before touching its head or petting it.
I've been having him/her for about 9 months. We really have a good relationship, but he does not like to be touched. I mean, I am with him her, and he she steps up, talks, I taught him her tricks, etc.etc. But I will insist more on him/her touching him every time.
Your bird has to learn to trust you and bond to you.
When letting out of cage go about your normal routine i never approach to scratch from above the head always from the back or side but let him know you are going to do it just keep trying it can take months.. good luck.
thank you for your help i have one more question you said when you first bought yours you had him out the cage everyday for an hour was he tame when you bought him or did you have to tame him before you let him out the cage thank you themelissaduo
thanx for your help i now have my irn stepping up on my hand and eating from my hand as well thank you but he will not allow me to pet him i got him on the perch one day the next i had him eating out of my hands on my hand

Even though they are different species of parrots, they got along, played, and helped each other. In about a week, both birds were as jolly and happy as Santa. A budgie, commonly called a parakeet, can be purchased almost at any pet shop, & They don't cost too much, and they can get along with anyone, even a baby.

Hi, Gypsy was only a baby when I was doing this, but she still lets me pet her very often.. You just have to get one from when they are a baby and a handraised one by a reputable breeder.

Hi You just have to spend alot of time with it to bond..
It takes along time.
You can spend up to 30 mins a day just talking then eventually put some food on your hand or a special treat like corn on the cob they love that or apple.
It will eventually bond to you.. Good Luck

Hi, my ringneck only bites me if other people are around.
But by ourselves She is beautiful, and loves me to pet her.
They are great pets but try and get one that has been properly hand raised by a professional breeder.
themelissaduo 1 year ago
No My ringneck does not bite me..
But if you are going to get one as a pet, buy one that has been hand reared properly by a professional breeder... Good Luck....
themelissaduo 1 year ago
@joekickass2819 , ringnecks love fresh grapes, and i would suggest not trying to handle him at all until he will eat what you put down, or on top of his cage, then as he builds confidence that he is not your lunch but rather you are giving him food... he wont be as likely to be afraid for his life and bite because of it. next step would be to try and touch him or have your hand near him for a bit without him totally freaking out,, remove your hand for a brief period than do it again,,
mrkdshrk83 1 year ago
@joekickass2819 and also when you go in to touch him at this step, when he does go to nip you (this may be difficult but it will work wonders) take the bite like you are on the top of the food chain, and let him know that it wont deter you from touching him or her, (only if he isnt totally freaking out but only going to bite or nip) it will work if you are gentle in the way you try this approach and not scared.

queendiva73 1 year ago 2
@queendiva73 First of all you need to find out if the bird is interested in you in any way. If not... Sel him and get a tame one or a baby you can hand feed. If the bird dont find you interesting in any way, he probably wont get attached to you for a long time. But if its the only pet you have, then maybe its going to succeed anyway, because youre the only one there.
guldemondje 1 year ago
@guldemondje that makes no sense..... I want to know how to work with the bird, not sell him.... that's irresponsible... sell him untamed so he can get passed around... Feh...
queendiva73 1 year ago
@queendiva73 you could sell to an aviary. But if you want to keep him, put him in a cage so you can keep him near you all the time. Talking helps, they like the company. Feed him something he likes, then they come nearer without being forced to come near you and he wil trust you more. also cut the feathers (not the arm, you can search on google how to do that) so he cant fly away if you take him out. It helps the bird avantually to relax more and he gets more dependant on you since he cant fly.
guldemondje 1 year ago
@guldemondje that makes more sense...I have been holding him in a towel and put his cage by my seat in the living room, he does seem a lot less afraid... I clipped his wings a while back so he can just glide to the floor, not fly up...

what do you think??? should i get one???

janetp414 1 year ago
Hi , knowing what I know now I would get a Quaker Parrot or a Cockatiel or a Rainbow Lorikeet rather than an Indian Ring Neck.
Some can be aggressive but if hand raised correctly can be a nice bird.
themelissaduo 1 year ago
@janetp414 Hey, you should get a baby ringneck as young as possible so you can handfeed. They get very attached to you if you do that. Get one thats not older than 5 weeks. If it still gets aggressive the bird is really weird or something in its surroundings isnt right, but really most of the time you get a wonderfull pet by handfeeding them. If you don't have time to do that try getting one from a handfeeder who breeds at home and puts a lot of time into it.

Hi You may be right about the streets of India .But Indian ringnecks are not wild if they are bred by the right people I have seen the most beautiful tame ringnecks from alot of different professional breeders.
This is Australia not India... That I live in.
Do not come on here telling people not to buy ringnecks because they are a beautiful bird and if treated and bred right they are as good a pet bird as any other. And no I do not breed ringnecks.

plzzz
xkhalidx007 2 years ago
Hi, first let him come out of his/her cage by themselves, sometimes birds become very territorial when you put your hand in their cage.
Try petting him/her outside of the cage and never approach from the front.
Hope this helps, they take a while to tame. Ringnecks are a more aggressive bird than most. Just alot of time and patience. Good luck.

Hi, is it possible to train an older ringneck? I have one that's more than one year old now and she won't let me pet her.. any thoughts? (I got her a few months ago when she was already a bit old..)
OpusOneTwoFive 2 years ago
Hi I do believe it is possible to train an older bird of any kind but it takes alot longer..
set a certain amount of time aside for you and your bird only take him/her to a quiet room and first just talk alot to him to bond with him.
This bond time is enormous and could take several months. If you want to after a while open his cage door let him fly around get to know your bird and when time is up you either put a really great favorite treat you know he will enter back in his cage for.
themelissaduo 2 years ago
heyy themelissaduo, im asking u this because u seem to know what your talking about and im in a bit of a situation, i have had an indian ring neck for a while now and he is around 1 year 6 months of age, and during the days he is out in the backyard on a big swing i made for him and my 3 other cockatiels, and they have been great but about 2 hours ago my ring neck started chasing an cockatial and i went to grab him an he bit me for the first time, do u know why he did this coz hes not like that
SUBIZ3R0 2 years ago
Hi, Is the cockatiel he chased a new member of the group?
It could be that he wants to be leader of the flock and was chasing him for that reason.
Why he bit you was because he didn't want to be stopped from whatever he was going to do or doing to the cockatiel.
Be interested to know is it just the one cockatiel?
themelissaduo 2 years ago
no i got all 4 birds around the same time and have had them for about 7 months now, everytime i put my hand out to him to pick him up since that time hi bit me he keeps trying to bite me but say i try to kiss him or just put my face near him hes ok, also once i pick him up and just hold onto him his fine, its just when i try to take him away from his area, maybe hes biting because 2 out of the 3 cockatiels bite, and he was chasing the one that bites the hardest, he only went after the one bird
SUBIZ3R0 2 years ago
Maybe this cockatiel has taught him to bite.
and maybe he himself has been bitten by this cockatiel the only way to maybe stop it is to seperate the biter from the rest.
maybe handling all of them more frequentley so they know biting is not worth it because you are still going to pet them and handle them no matter what. Birds only bite for a reason it's trying to work out that reason and fixing it. Hard work though, good luck..

It could take weeks to 3-4 months depends how much time everyday you spend.

chayontic 2 years ago
I have spent alot of time with My irn . Indian ring necks are the type of bird you have to spend everyday for as much time as possible to build trust and a bond. If you put in the time you will be rewarded. If your bird is only 12 weeks thats still young enough to tame, time and patience, but be warned irn's are a more aggressive bird than most and I have been told that you have to spend time everyday with them or they will go back to being wild again.
Good luck...
themelissaduo 2 years ago
When I first bought my irn I had it out the cage everday for an hour and I would play and scratch it and talk to it. Irn's get startled and pin their eyes when they are about to bite. Their bite is pretty painful, if you can get trust you will be fine.
They like quiet not too much noise when training.
Hope this helps.

animallova267482 2 years ago
alot of love and treats.. find her favorite treat - mine loves peanuts and sunflower seeds.. you can also take baby steps, walking closer raising your hand near her, making slow movements so she doesnt startle. Some birds are patient.. dont be afraid trust your animal and talk to her all the time.. that way she can get use to you.

Then ring grows at the age of 2 aprox. Some birds grow (reach maturity age)faster than others, just like humans.
I have an Indian Ringneck too! He/she is 1 year old and 1 month. He/she relies on me and we have a good relationship. But she/he doesn't like to be pet/touched like yours..
Please, any suggestions?
PS: for example, if I put my hand above him/her and I want to touch him/her he opens the beak sometimes, and does not like it. Although we have a good relationship.
Please, some help?

How log have you had the ringneck? what need to do is just spend more time with it like having it on your body hanging out while your talking on the phone and let it get used to you more before touching its head or petting it.

I've been having him/her for about 9 months. We really have a good relationship, but he does not like to be touched. I mean, I am with him her, and he she steps up, talks, I taught him her tricks, etc.etc. But I will insist more on him/her touching him every time.

Your bird has to learn to trust you and bond to you.
When letting out of cage go about your normal routine i never approach to scratch from above the head always from the back or side but let him know you are going to do it just keep trying it can take months.. good luck.
