I got two small indiam ringneck babies. They hve been with me since 4-5 months. But still they dont trust me. When i put food at a height they step up on my finger to eat it but as soon as they hold it in their mouth they jump away. They dont come near me too. :( any help?? Pleaaaase
does he know thjis trick already? cuz i can pet my bird and everything and step up to but if i touch her beak or somthing she will bite me and she would fly away right away and she wouldnt listen :( she might just peck me though
i have a indian ringneck too so any tips on how to gain his trust he lets me rub his neck but at any time he switches and bits me i once put my finger in front of him and he bit me bad so i have to wear gloves any tips
The only way to get a tame parrot is to hand rear them from about 2 weeks old, even from an egg. You CANNOT just walk into a pet store, buy one and expect it to like you. Yes, it will bite, yes, you won't be able to teach it anything. It will just be too frisky and wild. Accept it.
I breed parrots myself and they are all tame; want to know why? Because I hand raised them! That means, feeding them and being around them all the time. They grow up with humans; not birds. That's the only way. Sorry
@petercampagna1 It sounds like you are doing a good job. Keep practicing. I'm guessing you are talking in a calm voice and doing everything gently. It takes time.
@petercampagna1 It will. It depends on your bird, and now much time you spend with him/her. Let me know how it goes, I will be interested to see. Thank you.
@quakerparrotlily you most likely need to keep practicing the the hang up side down, and somehow get your hand near her back. You may want to try upright getting your hand over her back, and then putting her upside down. We can try some other tactics if these don't work. I would also try to put your hand over her head where she will crouch down, then gently place your hand over her back. Let me know how it works.
@PrEmOdInI You are off to a great start. Keep your hands on your birds beak and feet, while you are saying play dead. This will show him that you want him to be perfectly still. Then slowly remove your hands. When he moves, put your hands back on his beak and feet and tell him to play dead again. When he does it correctly, even for a second, give him lots of love and reward him. (I reward AJ with love, not food) Let me know if this helps.
Amazing

how long does it take to make a indian ringneck to me tame from 9 months

I love you'r gorgeous bird AJ, but I believe that Indian Ringneck is easier to train
than Cockaliel. I found my cockatiel Kukus 3 years ago, he's beautiful bird but he will not lay on his back. I have 3 birds 2 of them rescued.
Please look at my video with Kukus. He is clever boy too.

@LandBLK You do have a clever bird. All birds are different, ultimately time and patience will produce some results.
