Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and have been reading what I can find on Indian ringnecks.
I recently purchased a 6 month old aviary bred Indian ringneck, I've had him around 3 weeks now, as in other posts I've read he flaps wildly around the cage when I clean his cage or fill his food and water, I can sit next to his cage and he will eventually calm down and will sometimes eat and drink whilst I am sitting there but that's as far as I've got with him.. He has a cage that can open at the top and I leave it open while we are at home. I have 2 finger tame budgies with both cages being in our living room. He spends most of his day sitting on a perch on the outside of the budgie cage going back into his cage to eat and drink then returning to the budgies.. In the evening he returns and sleeps in his cage. I was wondering if I should move our budgies to another room for a few weeks so I could spend more time attempting to gain his trust to tame him because at the moment he just wants to be as near to the budgies as he can.
All suggestions gladly welcomed as I feel we are stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment
