my indian ring necked parrot

[DA_GRIZ]

hey all

on my birthday i went out and bought my self a cage and a 9 week old indian ring necked parrot

he is now 14 or 15 weeks old and bites pretty hard

 

[Trouble]

Beatiful looking bird Griz
I use to hav 1 that looks exactly like him, but he got killed by the female in the same cage
**DO NOT PUT FEMALES IN SAME CAGE UNTILL MATING SEASON!!!**

Cute little fella Ringnecks do tend to go through a 'terrible two's' time where they become rather aggressive. Keep handling it every day and it will grow out of that stage. Here is some pics of a few of our Ringnecks....

Yeah we do breed them. We are currently working out pairings for next year and we will have blues and lutinos. We currently only have 5 green hand raised babies left.

Gorgeous IRNs nightowl. Has your sky blue got pink eyes? I have nearly finished with 4 [ handrearing ] and 1 is the same colour, being very pale blue with a whitish head but it has pink eyes and legs. Da Griz, IRNs go thru a phase called bluffing. See http://www.indianringneck.com/bluffing/ Just ignore him and keep up the handling. He will grow out of it.

Not sure about the pink eyes, kakariki. My girlfriend is into the birds mainly and I have my reptiles! :lol: I'll have a look though. The only birds I own are a pair of Eclectus Parrots and my girlfriend has the IRN's, Rainbows, Sun Conures, Galahs, Green Cheeks and Cockatiels.
