Indian Ringneck Parakeet, The Best Pet Parrot?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- Indian Ringneck Parakeets are incredibly popular pet birds because of their fun and cute personality and all the color mutations they come in. Throughout time they were even regarded as sacred animals due to their ability to talk, but the question is, is this the right pet parrot for you?

Indian Ringneck Owner, what has been your experience owning these parrots?
They eat like a dog fly around nonestop like a budgie always upto mischief loving towards humans mean towards other birds
They are definitely a difficult bird to take care of but the more difficult the student the more rewarding. And they are soooooo loving.
I had bought one from a previous owner. The bird was a nightmare, unfortunately. After 8 months of training/ taming my ringneck we only got to the point where she would step up and then immediately step off (I am not a beginner and have 4 parrots). I highly recommend getting this bird as a baby and like mentioned in the video, work through the bluffing stage on your own. Although the bird was extremely difficult to tame, she wasn't aggressive. She was quite the opposite; extremely skiddish. HATED little kids and would start yelling and screeching any time a child entered the same room as it. Please do not buy a ringneck off of somebody if your not an expert. You will not enjoy the experience, and the bird will also likely not be in the best care it deserves. I know it can be very tempting, especially when they drop the prices really low for them (You could probably guess why they would do that) but please know what you are getting into.
@@7ahuful I would back you on the get it when its young I got mine which was 4 months untamed and it did not have a ring on its foot so seemd like it was not hand fed either but I tamed and trained it in 2 days that's all it took.
Can u please do a White capped pionus reviw pls :))
They are very intelligent, i got my first one this year and he already knows how to open doors, drawers, locks, you name it. I taught him none of this. He learned to do all these thing on his own. Im lucky hes a lover not a fighter cuz sometimes i just find him chilling in someone elses cage 😅 he likes slumber parties
That’s so funny hase he gone through his bluffing faze 😡🤬🤯😤🤡
Tell me hase it been a weird time with the bluffing phase
Where can I buy one in Illinois?
Mine knows that my laptop, phone, tablet, etc.. are off limits to him, but since he watches me use these things, he wants his turn too. So he waits until I'm not in the room or somewhere else in the house and then he sneaks into my room and chews up the tablet or phone case especially the soft rubber parts, removes keyboard keys on my laptop, etc.. When I discover him on the device and confront him, he'll either run away or when he's feeling courageous he'll square up with both his feet on the device in question and then lunge at me when I get closer.
@@dyzonndyjour7907 Go to the center of town, walk 37 paces north, then 27 paces East.....then stop....wait for 23 minutes.... and during that time, reflect on the fact that you will NEVER get one.
Ringnecks compete with licensed opium farmers for 'harvest', as they seem to know the perfect time to chomp the pods off of the plant, and to make their get-away with an extra length of the straw (as the straw contains opium, too). They then fly off to their respective trees, get "bombed", pass out, and fall to the ground...
I wish you guys still made videos, these are so helpful and informative!
As a new indian ringneck owner, I found this to be the most helpful description of this bird. Very informative and balanced.
I'm getting one next week. She/he is 7 weeks old.. I'm sooo excited 🙆♀️💕
I love Omar's. I have bought several parrots from them, and they quickly developed into sweet, affectionate pets.
Is it in LA? (The store)
I used to work there!!
I just put a down payment on my first Indian ringneck and I’ve been visiting him everyday until I can bring him home♥️ I can’t wait
Julie, can I ask the price of your baby? They want 1300 for the one I'm at. That includes her cage too. Ty
@@connielancaster1573 It really depends on the mutation of the bird, mine cost 700 alone
Same heee 🎉😊
I'm from India a tree next to my home full of ringneck ,I save two cute baby from falling tree now they're my little Oscar ND daisy now❤ with me
You're so good at this!! Big fan of your vibe and perspective
Ringnecks are my favorite inside bird. I had 2ringnecks many years ago. I moved and couldn't take them with me. I miss them.
I've been waiting for this one!! 😄
"Little doll" voices is how I heard them described, but stuffed bunny rabbit also very good description!
I love your videos and you are very informative. You were actually the reason why I decided against getting an IRN at first. But then I found one close by and it was only 4 weeks old when I got him. We are in the bluffing stage right now. It's truly rough. I get bit constantly but it's worth it in the long run. 🖤
How has the progress been?
I'm interested in hearing more first-hand accounts about this breed. I SEE so many lovely and sweet and cuddly IRNs in vids and read so many stories that match that, yet every "bird reviewer" I've seen says those are the exceptions and that they're not cuddly/ wont let you even touch their heads.
One woman in a vid where she get's bitten by an Amazon Parrot made a good point in saying that the more birds you have, the less tamed they will be/ less bonded they will be to you and the more they will just focus on the other birds in their flock.
Makes sense that someone with 5+ birds won't have the time to bond closely to each one, and if this one needs a lot of attention they simply will bond with the other birds over the human.
The ring neck in his hand: Okay but just cudle me now human
i find it so funny that i found Clint's channel as i was starting to get into reptiles and now i'm wanting a bird and here you are doing the same thing and i love it thank you
Absolutely love your informative videos! Look forward to more! I own IRNs and I belive they can be really affectionate and cheeky pets, if they have been properly handfed and socialised. So a lot depends on the breeder. Also, we need to interact with them on a regular basis to sustain the attachment. My IRNs do not scream; they are closely bonded with other medium sized parrots and lead quite interesting fun-filled lives.
Is the “screaming” bad? Or a sign of unhappiness?
The screaming can be quite bad, harsh and piercing. However, not as bad as Aratinga conures. One of my ring necks is a great talker. In my experience, ringnecks that talk generally do not scream to vent their annoyance or grab your attention. They prefer to “talk”. So a talking ring neck is definitely not a screamer. A happy and contented ringneck living with other parakeets or parrots in your home is also not a screamer. Hope this helps!
Love IRN parrots. I am just waiting for the day that I can actually hold mine.
Highly recommend Omar's, I had a Caique for several years, loved the bird, her name was Fruitloop! She was crazy funny! Unfortunately because of work requirements I could not keep her, after 6 years of ownership Omar's bought her back, obviously for a reduced price but that was ok because I know she would be treated very well. I am now retired and looking for a bird. Considering a Ringneck. Thanks for the informative video. Another reason I would recommend Omar's is the high quality of their birds and they boarder birds if you go on vacation or any other reason, great shop.
Omg!! 😭 I'm so glad I found this video! I was seriously about to call the bird store about my female IRN thinking she hated me. Turns out she's bluffing,so I'm gonna try to work thru this!❤️
How is she now?
loved the chocobo reference!
I love that you did this video Clint’s reptile style it makes it a really fun way to learn about these birds!! And 2k is not bad for an awesome buddy to talk to. I have seen snakes go for that much and they have 0 personalities.
I was about to say this
I saw the thumbnail and i was like CLINTS REPTILES BUT FOR BIRBS? lmao its a great way to structure the video.
I have a bright blue ringneck who was rehomed to me 3 and a half years ago and now I can’t imagine life without my little buddy
I used to have one. They can be very loud and do have a musty smell.
They are so beautiful and I love all the colors they come in.
Hi! You still have Ricco, right?!
@@rmarvel169 This was posted before she got him!
Mine doesn't smell musty, he smells good
@@ZumbaByTania Yes, if your ringneck smells musty then he/she needs a shower.
Wow thx. Love all your bird vis but have been waiting for this one. Terrific info.. Sooooo adorable. You are doing such a great job. 😉😊
Thanks so much 😊
this just makes me want to get one a lot more
Indian Ringneck Parrots are very beautiful and exotic. They’re great talkers and also tropical.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hyperactive cat on point
Unfortunately yes they aren't cuddly but yet you know they love you
Thanks so much for this. Had my eye on getting as my second bird, but you’ve given me a lot to think about. Thanks again.
❤❤❤The best parrot reviews on UA-cam. You are the best. Thank you so much for all your time and effort, very valuable information for all of us.❤❤❤❤
Yes, yes, yes! Finally!
We live in an apartment with an Indian Ringneck but our apartment is made of brick. Our neighbors didn't even know we had a parrot.
I wanna add... Most Indian Ringnecks don't even like petting. I've met very few. I wish they did, but they're very hands off. I can get mine to accept petting but he doesn't enjoy it.
Also, I haven't noticed the dust at all. Do they not have a preening gland?
Edit: My Indian Ringneck asked me to pet him for the first time! I've had him for 8 months and he's always been against it so this is a huge milestone.
They use dust to repel water as opposed to oils, so I'm assuming that means they have no preening gland probably, as do a number of other parrots.
Just came across your channel thank you for informing ppl of the IRN. I have a sweet blue baby, named Nugget. He's only 5 months old right now, he is such a sweet heart, and very smart. Already gives kisses and im training him to talk. This bird is very misunderstood especially when it comes to the bluffing stage. Another good thing to train your IRN is taking a bath, this will cut down on the dust they give off. If you want an IRN, do your research first, get a handfed baby. They are easier to deal with and train. Thank you for all your information!
I have an IRN who is 16 and I got her when she was a baby. So glad you emphasised the bluffing stage. It is really a highly testing time but once you are through the other end, it is so rewarding. I have the sweetest, funniest, cuddly girl. Apparently even the avian vet says they have not met an IRN Like mine being super sweet, super chill and cuddly. Cuddles is all she wants, they want to be with you allllll the time doing what you do, I can do anything with her, lie on her back for tummy scratches but apparently it’s not normal for this breed. Loves to play games, fetch, hide and seek, just being curious and exploring.
One thing to point out is how strongly they imprint on you. It’s important to keep them well socialised for their mental health. It’s something I actively do as my worry is how she will do if something happens to me, I want her to be ok since she sees me as her life partner.
Amazing review, and a beautiful bird.
Thank you for this!
Very informative 👍
i have a green idian ringneck and he is soo cute!
My ring neck is VERY Loud, lol came to me at 3mos old, so far still sweet and will step up and hang out on my shoulder,no talking yet, he just turned a year old, I'm hoping he starts talking soon. He is so sweet, no bluffing yet, except he will only come out of his cage by himself, once hes out he'll step up no problem
As an IRN trainer, these are my favorite birds!!!
i have kept them for more than 20 years, the most beautiful and best pet to keep. Highly recommended
How much do they poop on you
Yes yes yes, let's goooooo, iv been waiting so long for this
One downside not mentioned they don't really get along with other birds especially smaller ones
Nooo! Seriously?
@@joey6353 well nothing is the same for every bird but yes in my experience and more often than not they don't get along
Although I have seen monk parakeets getting along quite well with them
Mine fits pretty well though? Never ever bit any of my smaller ones even when they're aggressive.
very ture ... It take my 2 years to accept my other green cheek conure and now I am afraid if I buy another parrot because of him😭🤕
Nah, they actually work well with smaller birds if you work with them and get them used to the other bird.
I have had a indian ringneck for almost 4 years now and let me tell you they are a trial for everybody, they go through a bluffing periode where they test you for dominance(4-12 months) but after that they are a beautiful bird to have as a pet, my IRN is named Jade (she is Jade green hense the name)
Best Parrot Indian Ringneck...love it ..
Have Wild Parrots see it please
ua-cam.com/video/sBdQ8S7IPIc/v-deo.html
?
...
Do you have any good suggestions for a bird store like yours in Cali but for Arizona?
there are colonies of Green indian ring necks living wild in the Uk,so they are
hardy in more ways than one ,here in the Uk it can pretty cold in the Winter .
London has thousands living free there ,probably from escaped pets originally.
Bluffing stage time isn’t bad at all. Hell, my kids have all been assholes all their lives😂
And they have a seriously loud scream. Mine only pretends to bite but Ive seen some bad bites of them your right you have to put in the work but it's very rewarding.. Also there's quite a few wild ones now in the UK if you keep your eyes open you will see them. I suspect they were once pets but have been let loose beacuse of there loud scream
Yes, their screaming will clear out an entire house.
This is REALLY helpful! I really want a Pionus… I’ve had Budgies and a Cockatiel in the past so I’m not 💯 new but I had them when I was younger so it’s still going to be a relatively new experience getting a new bird as an adult. I’m wanting a Pionus because I think the size is about perfect and all my research (including your videos) has said they’re relatively laid back and quiet for a parrot. I went into an exotic bird shop and they tried selling me on a Ring Neck instead saying they were comparable in temperament… Don’t get me wrong, I’m not gonna hate on Ring Necks based on this video or anything else but I know what I’m looking for in a parrot for my life style and this doesn’t sound like it.
Me who began with an Indian ringneck as the first bird 😐😐😐😐😐. I don't regret it though at all. One of my bird got so aggressive in the her bluffing stage but after it went away she became the most loving of my other birds who might still be in bluffing. 😩 They are so freaking cute.
IRN is my first bird too and I really don't know what to do with them I have to of them they are 9 month old and I don't know where bluffing stage will start do you know when it is ? And I really need help they are so fearfull and scared but I love them
Hi!! Thank you for the video, it's good to know all these things before getting an Indian Ringneck. I'm actually getting my own baby IRN in a few weeks. When does the bluffing phase start rouglhly?
Can you please do a review of the Eclectus soon? I love your reviews.
Def want to if I get ahold of one
@@Fivesaflock Have mine lol
i just got one from a friend, who got one from someone else, when he got it, he had no tail or many feathers, he now has a tail and most feathers have come back, he is 7-9 years old i forget what he said, he always hides/runs away when i go near the cage, i talk to him and ask how he is etc, i give him treats, How long should i wait before i can let him out of his cage? "hoping to put additional perches up in my room so he can fly around", I just dont know when i should try him out of his cage. incase he wont go back in.
Ours is surprisingly quiet, he talks a lot, gives tons of kisses even from far away, is very affectionate, loves to eat and is super funny, is chummy with our Tiel but hates his Moustached Parakeet cousin lol smh
I love birds.
I'm a new IRN owner, I have two actually, blue male and female from different homes.They get along great however they are not tame at all. Very scared when you approach the cage not to mention my hand when I have to go in the cage to clean or feed them.I've only had them for a month but I know I have to be patient. I find the male to be very anxious and flutter s back in forth in the cage while the female seems calmer. Im thinking his reactions with influence the female to be anxious and scared also. Would this be the buffering stage that was mentioned in the video? I have no accurate history on the conditions these birds lived in before me. Any advice would be appreciated in raising two IRN together.
Oh wow it's the color that Jack's it up...where do I go to buy one at very young bird or me his first owner?
def would end up naming a yellow one chocobo lol
Would you make one about kakarikis at some point? They're really underrated birds :) I love your work!
def will when I get ahold of one!
@@Fivesaflock Thank you so much! My friend is a ringneck lover, but she doesn't speak English so I translated for her. She's super happy she has a sacred pirate birb now XD
Love my Indian Ringneck she is 2 years old and named Coco
hello my friend!Please help me with your opinion.I want to buy an indian ringneck,talked with the breeder and told me that have babies(2.5 months),but he told me that the blue i want is not hand feeded and it will be a bit wild.He also haves a green one that is hand feeded.I really prefer the blue one,can he be as chill as a hand feeded if i put my time?Or should i prefer the green hand feeded one?How wild can a bird get in less than 3 months?!?
Where can i get a baby ring neck in fl? I will buy it right ?not adopts it?
would you ever consider doing a review on parrotlets?
King parrot review, the sounds my girl used to make were so cute she was so tame i let her outside for a couple days with me at 1 year old and on the 3rd day she flew away i was sad so i got a green ringneck girl one year old still miss my queen king parrot 🦜
I consider myself skilled with birds and damn, the bluffing phase was hecking difficult even with all preparations. The birb turns into complete spawn of Satan suddenly, biting, screaming, destroying stuff, all that jazz. I've used trick which could be called "no fear" - not even flinching when Sammy bit me, sometimes even offering my hand to get bitten more, showing her I'm not gonna get bullied easily. She always lost interest after few bites, but my hands looked like I was dealing with eagle and not a parakeet :D took few months of heavenly patience with her, but now she's happy and calm birb
Please do a Quaker Parrot review!
What bird would you say is rea.y clear voice ?
Damn my first bird was an Alexandrine. Pretty similar but just sized up. The bluffing was bad but he was super sweet after 1 and a half months.
his bluffing phase didn’t start if he’s only 1 and a half months
@@Jacob04188 No I meant the phase lasted 1 and a half months, it's started at 7 month mark
Nice
What is bluffing fase?
We have a lot of feral ringnecks around. They are not as cowardly as monk parakeet, but rather somewhat cautious. They can hold their own against cats. Technically they are pests but they are too cute.
The cats are the pests. They do so much damage to native wildlife that they really should be euthanized enmass like they're doing now in Australia.
WHAT DOING?!?!
Please do a video on the Maximilian Pionus
Def will when I get one. Luckily next one coming up is a white capped pionus!
I love there voice. I’d love to have a Mustache Parakeet. They look like little bandits. LOL
Sun conure please
What do you do with a ringneck male who isn’t tame? My father supposedly obtained a female ringneck from a friend sometime before 2015 which I named SweetPea. Several months later, she developed a black ring around her neck and bow tie. Suddenly, my dad’s feathered girl was a male! Regardless, he was supposed to be his pet but my mother & I spent time singing & teaching him to speak. The problem was, my father and I were unable to handle him though he was allegedly hand reared. He would chew my dad’s fingers but could not be caught. SweetPea seemed to bond with my dad but would only communicate with my mom. He learned a variety of phrases, mimicking my voice, and screeched at earshattering decibels if not given attention. I had several cats at the time and all of them were terrified and left him alone. In 2015, my mom passed of lung cancer and the morning she died, Pea stopped talking and hasn’t uttered a word since. 😢 My dad mostly ignored Pea following that time and I now care for him. I feed, water, provide toys, change his paper, sing, & talk to him but he any time I get close to the bars of his birdhouse he bites the hellations out of my fingers drawing blood. For several years now he’s been “dancing” at me for which I initially didn’t realize the meaning. He’s at least 7 years old and still bluffing! I’ve tried earning his trust by feeding him his pellets through the cage bars or sharing my food with him-to no avail. I can’t stick my hand in the birdhouse to pet or clean or repair his toys without losing a pint of blood. Idk what to do. I have a dog, 2 cats, & a turtle besides. I give him as much attention as I’m able though it never seems enough. How do I establish a relationship with him? He’s the most cantankerous creature I’ve ever known yet I love him and want him to be happy. Any advice?
I’ve been deciding between a Hahn’s and a Indian ringneck
That's a toughie tbh. Both great birds.
Hahns ez they're more expensive other than that it's a clear W for hahns
I know I’ve been wanting a Hahn’s more only because of the Indian ringneck a bluffing stage
@@avarz2889 well the bluffing isn't as servere in males sometimes you may never even realise that he went through it sometimes it can be mild sometimes well
@@adityabhardwaj2237 yah I guess only the future will tell what bird I get
Can you do a vid of love birds of parrotlets soon
I have trained Jack Russell dogs at all ages and stages of behavior issues, lol, so I have tons of patience!
My own dog knew 187 tricks, she was a miniature black and white RCA jack - she lived for 16 years...
Today I have a cervil- main coon cross, he's old and so I have been researching doing bird rescue, volunteering and thinking about which birds to offer a home to...
I have a 3 bedroom house, with a large yard, I'm at home 24/7, rarely leave my house as most items can be purchased online and delivered lol...
My children are adults and have their own lives...basically I'm looking for companionship- as I'm done with men...( been single 7 years now and I'm done making sandwiches for zero benefit- farting and burping does not count... besides, I'm an old lady, lol)
Hi. Compared to Sun Conures, how is their screeching? 😂
I love this type of parrot especially the violet colored ones!
It can take 2-3 years for the ring to fully molt in
I heard that they are banned in India. How are they open to selling in the US?
I have 6 parrots including 2 indian ringnecks.
@fivesaflock will you do any vids on african greys and solomon cocktoos?
Def will when I get ahold of them!
@@Fivesaflock awesome I would say you can use my birds for the vid I own both of them but I live in the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks! But stinks I'm in the USA. UK has so many cool birds at way cheaper of a price lol
He does great bird reviews but that background music is a killer
please do a sun conure video
Plz do peach faced LOvebird!
I would love to if I get ahold of one!
Can you do a lovebird video looking to get my first bird and have researched so much I landed on Indian Ringneck,
Green Cheek,Lovebird. Can't decide! Please lol great content 🤙
Green Cheek 👍
They're very beloved birds in India 🥰 you can see them flying around in a lot of places and yes they are very sacred for hindus
Can you tell me the history on why it's sacred for Hindus?
my ring neck is a spaz..... not like what other people have .
but he is my ring neck
I wish this dude would review budgies.
Request: Do a review on the Alexandrine parakeet.
We just purchased a pair not tame 1 year old. Yellow female blue male. We hope to become friends soon.....
Can you do Senegal parrot soon? Also your channel is so helpful :)
I have a ring neck that's about 1.5 years old.
I adopted em from a guy who gave me bad vibes.
The coat is dark, extremely timid and quiet.
It's tough to work on him but I notice every day or week he seems to be a bit more relaxed.
Today he was singing for about 10 min. Also I think he's getting the hint that thee perch stick I use to train is not going to harm him.
I have faith that in a month or so. He might get used to me and allow me to get clos. Using the stick. I have gotten him to stand on my shoulders. But he's really scared it doesn't really move. He also jumped off my shoulder to take a poop. So I think he kinda likes me or he would have shit on me
Oof $500 for a regular ringneck? That's how much an African grey usually cost in my area. I think you might want to shop around because that's way too much.
I HAVE ONE HE IS COOL
I'm from India and we get these birds flocking on trees occassionally around spring. They get apeshit for Ripe guavas.
Why my parrot totally different 😂😂😂, I have it with me 15 years 🥰 I only with you , they dont like cuddle👌 and very things you non that happen to me ...finally ; they vvvvvery nice , quite, consider owner motion , and they can fit with Routine very hard to changing it 😍
Can you pls do a sun conure?

Ok thank you so much
