    6 month old aviary bred Indian ringneck

    Hi all just a quick update, I leave his cage door open permanently now and he spends a lot of time on top of his cage and goes in himself when it begins to get dark. He seems to be getting a little more confident and will come to the front of his cage and sit and watch now instead of hiding at...

    No I had to go on trust as I don't drive so he delivered. The original add I saw showed an avery in his garden with 7 or so ringnecks, I asked him how long he's been breeding them, he said he doesn't his father loves them and has been breeding them for 20 years, he seemed genuine gave me his...

    Hi Michael I read a reply that you posted on another thread where you were mentioning the colours on the wing or tail of feral ringnecks, the guy I bought it from still has them for sale with a video, the bird in the video isn't my one but it has the exact same colouring, I'll post the link...

    Hi Kendra I've had him about 5 weeks now, I know it's going to be a long process with him but if I'm honest he doesn't trust me even a tiniest bit more than he did when he first arrived, was hoping for just a tiny sign from him that we were heading in the right direction

    I suppose my question is.. Is there anything else I should or could be doing or is there anything I'm doing wrong?

    Hi all, just an update as to how things have been going with Foley my ringneck.. Well unfortunately we've made no progress at all, I've been feeding my budgies while they've been on my hand so he can see but even if I move my arm slightly to get comfortable he will panic and flap wildly about...

    His cage has swing out feeders which I use so as I don't have to put my hand in. But fortunately the are at the side of his cage with the far one being quite near the back but I've got them with the food toward the front 😕I'll swap them over.. Never thought of that

    He bites the wire on the budgie cage and he's chewing on the blinds and runs up and down the window sill mostly

    OK thanks I'll do that as soon as I'm in from work, in the meantime should I still give him free reign to come and go from his cage as he pleases?

    OK at the moment I have a cover just at the top of the budgie cage, I put that there so the ringneck doesn't need to have his feet through the cage incase any nipping went on, should I cover on the top back and sides of the budgie cage so only the front is visible as he spends his time mostly...

    The budgie cage isn't as high as his cage but it's only a couple of feet from his cage. I only put some apple out for him yesterday but for the last 2 nights he hasn't returned to his cage. At the moment I have the top of his cage open so he can come and go as he pleases, but as I say he is...

    OK so for the last 2 nights he's not returned to his cage preffering to sit on the budgie cage. I've noticed during the day that if my 2 budgies go anywhere near where he is on the cage he 'growls' and tries to peck at them through the bars, my budgies are normally very active and noisy...
