I have Touché now and he is so special to me! I adopted him shortly after he came home from Jamileigh’s. His wings are perfectly grown out and he zooms and twists and turns in and out of rooms! He loves his flock of Caiques, an Eclectus and a Cockatiel. He’s picked up several phrases too. I enjoy seeing these videos of him because I can now see what Jamie worked with him on. He hasn’t forgotten anything! ❤️
Please look after him well He needs so much love Indian Ringnecks are always so sociable once they trust their human Friend PROUD OWNER OF TALKING INDIAN RINGNECK
@NormalBirdLady lol I’ve had him for almost two years now (I think🤔). He wants to love my new Eclectus (his first best friend/Eclectus passed away last October. He was on another BirdTricks video called “This Eclectus HATES men!”). Niko was amazing and Whiskey (my new boy) is also just amazing! Touché was so unbelievably excited to see Whiskey because he thought it was Niko. It broke my heart because clearly Touché was missing his friend sooooo much but Whiskey and Touché have a “careful” bond🤣. It’s a love-hate relationship. You can catch up with Touché at touche_indyboy on IG. I’m not on there a lot but you can see what he’s been up to😁
@@jennifermarriott1778 I’m confused- jamielynn posted this within the last day, but Touché has been rehabbed and out of her care for years? Why would she only now be posting the updates ?
Touché is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Even his footsteps sound cute to me. Jamie should get to desensitize herself with a spa retreat after all of that! 💆🏼♀️
I have 4 budgies. Every time I watch other species, I soooo much want to add to my flock but then I take a deep breath, step back and restore my sanity.
Seeing Touché being so enthusiastic when Lefty arrived reminds me of my own indian ringneck Leo. I realized that ringnecks get more enthusiastic when they are jealous. I got two ringnecks myself and my girl Maya used to be a super scared bird but overcame her fear by watching Leo getting treats and being jealous because of that. Leo will push Maya away to train and get treats from me, too.
I loved this Ringneck Parrot 🦜! Interesting to watch your Training Session. I loved the little one too! Both are so cute!!! I love the Ringneck’s sounds n when he speaks. I enjoyed watching…!!!!!!! God bless you for loving them..🙏🙏🦜🙏🦜🙏
I remember from a different video they tend to be more vocal when heightened, and noticed with the uncomfortable hand over him he started using his voice. I admire the bond though still, because even though he was uncomfortable he obviously still trusts you.
This will be helpful for me and my girl Loki. She is very nervous about where I place my hands. I can get them close and she will ever so gently and cautiously take food from them but I was told she was mistreated. But she is really trusting with me and I am so happy about that. So I will be following your method and see how that works. Gentle patience is the key❤❤
It genuinely warms my heart to see how far lefty has come 🥲 I have been following your videos, reading, studying up, visiting with birds for the last year and my heart was and still is really set on an Indian ringneck. However I feel like it is possible a Quaker parrot may be more suited to me at this point in my life and my living situation and personality. But I just can’t decide!! Haha. I have been working with this blue Quaker parrot at a local petshop/aviary that my heart has sorta pointed me in the direction of but I have a breeder I’ve spoken to about getting a ringneck hatchling in the spring. I just can’t decide haha. Maybe I’ll get both 😅
My ringneck is curious, but very cautious about anything new... so takes a lot longer to get him comfortable. He’s a gentle soul compared to my greencheek.
On the surface: Calm, collected, helping all, trying to train. Beneath: "I love Capri... I love Capri... It's going to be okay, I love my family... I'll just have to wait or I may pop... Can I just get five minutes of alone time with this bird to desensitize??" At least, those are like the moments I have as my kids come "meandering" around during training or me trying to work in general... Love them, just want to stay focused sometimes! It's like the invasion of the bathroom when they were smaller... Potty time was precious when it could be had lol
My cockatiel is not afraid of anything… My Indian ringneck, on the other hand, is afraid of everything LOL. He’s very curious but he will fly away the second he gets suspicious. Even though I’ve had him since he was a baby, he is very suspicious and it takes a lot to gain his trust. I work with him on all the things that trigger him in hopes to desensitize him. So to answer your question, yes I agree!
I see that curiosity vs. Confidence thing with my sun conure. He is willing to fly just about anywhere but once he gets there it's a different story. He likes to fly to people that are walking around, however he doesn't particularly like all of us in the house..so once he flew to my son, landed and bit immediately. I'm really struggling with my Loki love, but I'm not giving up!
Hey Jamie! I've been watching almost all of your videos for the past 2 months. I want to learn everything I can from birds before actually thinking of getting one of my own. I have one question tho, how do you identify what is an alarm call or just a recall or any other sounds they make? Is it just the loudness? Or anything else changes?
My granddaughter absolutely LOVES her blankets, chairs, tents and forts. Lol. God bless you! I think there should be more than just one Mother’s Day per year,, don’t you?
Hey, I need advice. My two budgies that I got about a week ago recently started eating millet from my hand. I let them eat several times before trying to move onto stepping up. Both of them refused, so I tried to use a small wooden perch and get them to step up, but they were scared of it. I'm not really sure how to get them to do this. Was there a step I missed? Do I just keep trying a few times a day?
Is this an old video? I thought she had lefty and touché a long time ago. I’m confused. Also, does she sell her natural feed mix? I would like to buy some. I know I can just make some myself, but it would be easier to just buy it.
The 2 parrots together training chaos, welcome to my normal training situation! lol Was nice to see it here, stops me being so hard on myself when my training fails to make much progress because of it :) I've got 2 hyperactive lorikeets from a bad home, too scared to leave their cage, not bonded, but use each other for security. Training for me has to be done on the large cage door & pumice perch attached to the door, so that it can be just outside the cage for training, but still give them an easy escape back into the cage as needed, so that I can get them to agree to come out to train. Each of my sessions is the same as that 2 birds session, both fighting over who gets to train, grabbing the touch stick & treats (I use a syringe of fruit juice, which means they can hold it in their beaks & refuse to release even when no more treat is coming out), so same chaos as in the video every session, except add on top of that, that mine have only very limited spaces to sit/stand for training & scream at each other if the other one takes their space (so imagine if Lefty & Touche refused to be anywhere but on that perch & wouldn't let the other on the perch while they were training), with the most timid/abused one (that is therefore by far the hardest to train) being the dominate one in that. So we do step up sideways sliding off the perch onto my hand & repeat & repeat & repeat. I've got the other one now actually stepping up properly, but that's as far as we've got. I'm trying to work on "stay" as I move my hand while the bird is on it, & we can do that a little, conditional to my hand returning to the exact same spot, but anything beyond that is really too much for them & we're back in the cage (timid one tends to throw a screaming tantrum at my hand for me daring to move it first) Anyway, yeh, nice to see my training situation on video :) & I really don't think there's any good work arounds for mine, other than time & building confidence & trust. Breakthrough though, yesterday my timid one decided to let me touch her head :))))))) & we've just done it again now too! Pretty sure she's got some hormonal stuff going on with that, she was playing with my hand like lorries play with each other & eyes dilating/relaxing dilating, but I'll work on that later, meanwhile I'm just sticking to touching only her head & enjoying that she's FINALLY letting me touch her :))
Touché is so cute!... His training videos are just as cute because he's trying to go along with you & it's funny to see whenever he goofs up--literally. Do you plan on breeding him?...
I just wanted to point out for people to be aware of their shadow as had above and hand above and casting a shadow on the bird might be different for them. :)
I think my 16 month old Ringneck is head shy because he was taken from the nest, placed in a plastic tub with other babies and any interaction began with a hand overhead and grabbed. Every. Single. Time. For the last year, every couple of weeks, as he suggles in my hair, he will invite me to scratch his head and the back of his neck. Our success is based on trust and invitation. But then I'm not on a time limit.. Understand this may be something that you cannot fix in a few weeks and allow yourself that. You've done so much already! Kudos!
I get the same competition for training with my flock. I will be training my Indian Ringneck and then suddenly I have one cockatiel as well then another until I am trying to wrestle five birds. One of my cockatiels that is not hand reared is even starting to get involved with target training now. Its amazing what jealousy and some millet spray can achieve.
That's what happens to me with training all the time. We start and someone always needs something or wants to come hang out with us. I've learned to just end it when that happens. Lol
I have one, my buddy Soda. He's extremely timid. 90% quiet Amd might be slightly blind? Lol I manage to have em rest on me but still extremely timid. He won't take anything from my hand .
I havan indian ring neck parott (female) form December last year and is not confident at all. Is biting, cant pet her.... Is desprate for birds outside, i did not lether out from the cage 'cause she will fly straight to the window and i'm afraid to get injury at head. I dont think if will ever be tamed
I agree-- they always act super confident, but I've found they're usually not. They love to get into stuff, but their usual knee-jerk reaction to new stuff, or quick movements, is usually to lunge first and then explore after it's determined it's not a threat. I think that's part of what the "bluffing" stage is that people talk about.
haven't see you for awhile. missed you. mine do their clicker training first in the morning. most of my birds get pistachios in the shell, a few only like sunflower seeds, for lunch they get home made mac and cheese, a bit of cottage cheese and scrambled egg. for dinner they get a salad with carrots, celery, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, colored peppers and a bit of fruit. they like a tsp of banana or a grape. good job on the videos. keep them up. I have7 birds all rescues
How do you find the cheese on lactose? I opted for yogurt for mine to give them calcium, cause there were easy options for lactose free. I know cheese is meant to be low lactose, but I really couldn't find if it had any or not & how much was ok for parrots. Have you had any issues with this & do you know what to look out for or what the best types of cheese are if I want to try the cheese with mine?
@@mehere8038 cheese and other fermented dairy products are low in lactose; however, birds are omnivores so there is no reason why they cannot have dairy. interestingly enough, there are now vidoes on birds that hang around cows, ewes, etc. and wait for sloppy babies to drink an then lap up leftover milk! one guy even had a video on an artic bird lapping up spilled milk from a seal in the artic! birds are sooo clever.
I need help with my indian ringnecks diet could u give any recommendation even any little advise would be greatful for and would be great help On what fruit and veg should I feed should i feed her and how mucth should it be frozen or cooked ife seen people may some sort off veg chop and freeze it domt wanna give her same stuff as I've heard it's also good to give them differant foods so there dont get bored off same stuff and also how mucth seeds mix to give her I've seen people also say sunflower seeds and nuts are not good are they ok iff not all the time I've changed my ringnecks seed mix to a no nut and sunflower seed mix what is higher quality than the previous pet shop one was gonna feed her the no seed and no nut mix for a few days and was also gonna try tidymix what is low in sunflower and menna be good and rotate between the 2 and maybe even try pellets once a week iff that's ok for my parrot
So I need help I know you have taken care of lots of birds so I need advice We have some trees in our yard and a baby bird fell out of its nest and the parents won't take it back so we are taking care of it and birds are birds so maybe you know what to do
Actually with indian ringneck , i do have one shes a girl . She will sit somewhere with confidence but will just straight go 'weeeee' if it moves slightly
Rescued my 2 year old Ringneck and They had him in a small cage. Any advise to get him to trust me, he always flys away from out the cage and avoids me in the cage.
rescue organisations :) Make sure you know what you're getting yourselves in for though! They have really long lives & are prettywell on par with a pet monkey in terms of intelligence & emotional needs & behavioural issues if you don't devote enough time to them & do enough research into training. Not a pet for the faint hearted! You're bringing a wild animal into your home!
I'm not sure where you live but rescue organizations or even buying from an owner that can no longer take care of the bird that way the bird is already tamed but whatever you do make sure to do alot of research on the breed of bird your interested in that way you know what your in for birds take alot of time they need alot of attention my first bird I got was a Quaker parrot I bought him from a previous owner because she could no longer care for him anymore he was already tame birds can live for 30 years and the bigger birds like cockatoo and other big parrots can alot of times like 50 years or longer if there well takes care of birds are very messy alot of times very curious be sure to do your research before your thinking about getting a pet bird
It has to be hard to post a video showing a difficult day. It’s important for “wouldbe” bird owners to see how hard it can be. You’re level of commitment to these birds is amazing. But when lefty says “party!”… What are you gonna do
Can you suggest me wht should I do when my alexandrine parrots bite me. They are of 3 ½ months nd both of them bite everyone in the house. They are with me since they were of 1month. They don't even stay at one place when i try to train them. They just fly away. Plz suggest
You could clip their wings and then keep them where they can see you most of the time. Spend time and get to know them Mostly they bite because of fear
I was wondering about that yesterday. Like whether or not the camera and the fact that they can hear and see the lens constantly adjusting to stay in focus was making it difficult to train them. Maybe there’s a way to a-fix a camera to some glasses that isn’t to clunky or uncomfortable for you, so you cold get the shots of their body language cues from your literal perspective, and shorten training time in one go. All I can think of is Google Glass, and I'm not sure those ever really caught on.
I rehomed a three year old ringneck. I’m his third owner. I’ve been attempting to clicker train him by just acquainting him with the sound and treats. Today while we were training he took a few treats after the click well but the last one instead of taking the treat he bit down striking my hand. I’m still learning a lot about this particular type of bird. I’m not sure if I missed a type of distinct body language that would have warned me he was over it. Not sure…. I stopped the training immediately after that and let him have his space. Any ideas?
@@navinbhandari2001 definitely hurt yes. He lunged and made a growl type of sound and his beak pierced into my skin. I've noticed he tends to get this way anytime I try to target train him. He becomes very impatient is what it seems.
Touche really is keen for the target stick. What if you cup your hand over the end of the target stick and see if he will touch it..click and praise as you do. It might work.
Hi bird tricks can you help me please I have a 4 and a half month old yellow sided gcc and eats everything the wall she tried biting her cage she always bites and her food bowl please help me thank you also she is tamed i can hold her pet her and everything.
Owning a parrot is very less to do with control and more to do with love and affection. So don't wear yourself out if you fail to fully train a parrot. That's never 100% achievable. I think she gets pretty agitated if she doesn't have *control* in general. I personally don't think they were chaotic. It's just her way of expressing when she fails to have 100% control over a situation. As a trainer I thought she'd be more patient. Remember, it's more to do with love and connection than just plain control and training. Birds need to *feel* connected to you before any training takes place. I think they were both very well behaved. This is not how parrots usually behave. As long as you understand parrots aren't meant to be 100% in control as they're mainly wild, you're good.
I’ve had my ringneck for a couple months now and he’s so scared of me walking up to him. Even when I bring him his food, he will freak out until I walk away and then go straight towards the food. I’m trying the power stance with him and I think it’s working :) any other advice would be great since I can’t train him using treats when he has no interest in anything I give him
I read that about Ringnecks before I got mine. That they are not food motivated. I tried fresh strawberry first treat for training. Never had an issue. I also started trust training with a simple "boop" on the beak. Just one, at random. If your bird is running from you, first try something scrumptious in the food dish. 1-2 bites only. Continue with scrumptious goodness from the end of a finger or flat hand, moving it from fingertip to palm. A little farther in after each success. This could take days or weeks, if he's terrified of hands. I'm no trainer, just a few years with birds. Luck!
Try the technique from this video, but with your body instead of hand, so stand there at a distance till he relaxes, then I guess click or tell him he's a good boy (my lorikeets really love being given verbal praise as a reward & don't have to be close to do that), other option is to step back as a reward when he calms for you. Then after a few minutes, take another step forward & repeat as many times as he's comfortable with, then leave, then do it again later. I had to feed & change the water for my rescues at night to begin with, cause they were so stressed about me near them, shouldn't take that long for him to get used to you if you do the hand thing from this video with your whole body though, maybe a couple of weeks of multiple times a day training before you can put food into the cage without distress
@@Unreligion yw, all the best! It's so hard isn't it when you just want to cuddle them & tell them it will be ok but they want anything but & can't understand you just want to love them & care for them. Fingers crossed you'll be able to get yours to respond so you can at least get near him!
If you can please reply I’m getting a parrot for my birthday and we’re tryna choose between a ring neck or a sun conure so which is better and yes I am experienced with birds
It all comes down to your research. Which bird can you supply the best environment? Sun Conures tend to be loud (I have two) but you can train them to make other vocalisation Ring necks I haven't worked with personally, but just be sure to do your research on both species, as im not an expert
Definitely research extensively. Sun conures are very vocal and ringneck bluffing stage can be mild or extreme. What type of bird experience do you have and where do you intend to get your bird? Breeder or rescue? There is a lot to consider but remember that no two birds are the same. You could get a ringneck that is super sweet and hand tamed or they could say it is but then it's aggressive. Are you willing to work through those difficult times (ringneck puberty can be challenging) or will you be scared of getting bit. I am sure you will make the best decision and wish you luck!
I have Touché now and he is so special to me! I adopted him shortly after he came home from Jamileigh’s. His wings are perfectly grown out and he zooms and twists and turns in and out of rooms! He loves his flock of Caiques, an Eclectus and a Cockatiel. He’s picked up several phrases too. I enjoy seeing these videos of him because I can now see what Jamie worked with him on. He hasn’t forgotten anything! ❤️
Omg really. I was wondering who adopted him. He is so cute
I am so happy he has a good home and flock! He's such a cutie
Please look after him well
He needs so much love

My budgie now really like being out of the cage and flying laps around my room. I also gave him the opportunity to forage and seems like he likes it
Nice that your budgie gets to live like a bird with you! He must really appreciate it. 🥰
I have 4 budgies. Every time I watch other species, I soooo much want to add to my flock but then I take a deep breath, step back and restore my sanity.

Oh man thank goodness you clarified this was a video from two years ago!! I saw this and was like WTF THEY BOTH ARE BACK?!? Nooooo!!!! Lol
Touche shows us that a little healthy competition can go a long way in motivational training sessions.
I saw this on instagram and I was like, "I have to see what's going on!"
I loved this Ringneck Parrot 🦜! Interesting to watch your Training Session. I loved the little one too! Both are so cute!!! I love the Ringneck’s sounds n when he speaks. I enjoyed watching…!!!!!!!

Touche is sure making an extreme effort to do better than Lefty !
Aww his little noises are adorable 🥰
I’d say a bit of both. Ricco is definitely curious of everything, but still cautious .
This will be helpful for me and my girl Loki. She is very nervous about where I place my hands.

Hey Jamie! I've been watching almost all of your videos for the past 2 months. I want to learn everything I can from birds before actually thinking of getting one of my own. I have one question tho, how do you identify what is an alarm call or just a recall or any other sounds they make? Is it just the loudness? Or anything else changes?
The noise he makes sounds like "Yeah, why do you ask?" in my language, so this video just got funnier.
My granddaughter absolutely LOVES her blankets, chairs, tents and forts. Lol. God bless you! I think there should be more than just one Mother’s Day per year,, don’t you?
There are like 3……..
You such a good mom and bird trainer
Thank you!
aw that unwanted by human in the title hits me in the gut all the time lol
Hey, I need advice. My two budgies that I got about a week ago recently started eating millet from my hand. I let them eat several times before trying to move onto stepping up. Both of them refused, so I tried to use a small wooden perch and get them to step up, but they were scared of it. I'm not really sure how to get them to do this. Was there a step I missed? Do I just keep trying a few times a day?
He made that first peep and my Sunny jumped out of his skin LMAO
They are wonderful birds ❤
Def agree with that they are so curious and easy to train HOW do we stop thje alarm call is my question!
ringnecks are so beautiful when they fly in the wild
Touche can't makeup his mind 😆
what is your best food treat for taming mine is picky seeds eating only. mine is untamed and im trying lol
Is this an old video? I thought she had lefty and touché a long time ago. I’m confused. Also, does she sell her natural feed mix? I would like to buy some. I know I can just make some myself, but it would be easier to just buy it.

The 2 parrots together training chaos, welcome to my normal training situation! lol Was nice to see it here, stops me being so hard on myself when my training fails to make much progress because of it :)
I've got 2 hyperactive lorikeets from a bad home, too scared to leave their cage, not bonded, but use each other for security.
Training for me has to be done on the large cage door & pumice perch attached to the door, so that it can be just outside the cage for training, but still give them an easy escape back into the cage as needed, so that I can get them to agree to come out to train.
Each of my sessions is the same as that 2 birds session, both fighting over who gets to train, grabbing the touch stick & treats (I use a syringe of fruit juice, which means they can hold it in their beaks & refuse to release even when no more treat is coming out), so same chaos as in the video every session, except add on top of that, that mine have only very limited spaces to sit/stand for training & scream at each other if the other one takes their space (so imagine if Lefty & Touche refused to be anywhere but on that perch & wouldn't let the other on the perch while they were training), with the most timid/abused one (that is therefore by far the hardest to train) being the dominate one in that.
So we do step up sideways sliding off the perch onto my hand & repeat & repeat & repeat. I've got the other one now actually stepping up properly, but that's as far as we've got. I'm trying to work on "stay" as I move my hand while the bird is on it, & we can do that a little, conditional to my hand returning to the exact same spot, but anything beyond that is really too much for them & we're back in the cage (timid one tends to throw a screaming tantrum at my hand for me daring to move it first)

Breakthrough though, yesterday my timid one decided to let me touch her head :))))))) & we've just done it again now too! Pretty sure she's got some hormonal stuff going on with that, she was playing with my hand like lorries play with each other & eyes dilating/relaxing dilating, but I'll work on that later, meanwhile I'm just sticking to touching only her head & enjoying that she's FINALLY letting me touch her :))
his voice is best thing ever
I am so so happy for you love it Indian ringneck perrot
Touché is so cute!...
His training videos are just as cute because he's trying to go along with you & it's funny to see whenever he goofs up--literally.

Wedlock and the arcade of farmyard and arcade games ❤❤❤❤
Yes that’s good to move them around
I think my 16 month old Ringneck is head shy because he was taken from the nest, placed in a plastic tub with other babies and any interaction began with a hand overhead and grabbed. Every. Single. Time.
For the last year, every couple of weeks, as he suggles in my hair, he will invite me to scratch his head and the back of his neck. Our success is based on trust and invitation. But then I'm not on a time limit..
Understand this may be something that you cannot fix in a few weeks and allow yourself that. You've done so much already! Kudos!
i want an indian ringneck just because they make the cutest sounds lol
I get the same competition for training with my flock. I will be training my Indian Ringneck and then suddenly I have one cockatiel as well then another until I am trying to wrestle five birds. One of my cockatiels that is not hand reared is even starting to get involved with target training now. Its amazing what jealousy and some millet spray can achieve.
wow 5! I thought 2 lorikeets turning every training session into the 2 birds one in this video was bad, but 5? that's insane!
@@mehere8038 there's six birds indoors here at the moment but I'm hoping to move two outside when the weather gets warmer
That's what happens to me with training all the time. We start and someone always needs something or wants to come hang out with us. I've learned to just end it when that happens. Lol
He's adorable! What happened to his poor tail?
I was wondering if parrolets are a good beginner bird? I was thinking either budgies or parrolets.
I have one, my buddy Soda.
He's extremely timid. 90% quiet
Amd might be slightly blind? Lol I manage to have em rest on me but still extremely timid. He won't take anything from my hand .
I completely agree they are very curious but are her nervous birds.
I havan indian ring neck parott (female) form December last year and is not confident at all. Is biting, cant pet her.... Is desprate for birds outside, i did not lether out from the cage 'cause she will fly straight to the window and i'm afraid to get injury at head. I dont think if will ever be tamed
From where did you get that beautiful T stand
I agree-- they always act super confident, but I've found they're usually not. They love to get into stuff, but their usual knee-jerk reaction to new stuff, or quick movements, is usually to lunge first and then explore after it's determined it's not a threat. I think that's part of what the "bluffing" stage is that people talk about.
When can you start teaching your bird tricks?
haven't see you for awhile. missed you. mine do their clicker training first in the morning. most of my birds get pistachios in the shell, a few only like sunflower seeds, for lunch they get home made mac and cheese, a bit of cottage cheese and scrambled egg. for dinner they get a salad with carrots, celery, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, colored peppers and a bit of fruit. they like a tsp of banana or a grape. good job on the videos. keep them up. I have7 birds all rescues
How do you find the cheese on lactose? I opted for yogurt for mine to give them calcium, cause there were easy options for lactose free. I know cheese is meant to be low lactose, but I really couldn't find if it had any or not & how much was ok for parrots. Have you had any issues with this & do you know what to look out for or what the best types of cheese are if I want to try the cheese with mine?
@@mehere8038 cheese and other fermented dairy products are low in lactose; however, birds are omnivores so there is no reason why they cannot have dairy. interestingly enough, there are now vidoes on birds that hang around cows, ewes, etc. and wait for sloppy babies to drink an then lap up leftover milk! one guy even had a video on an artic bird lapping up spilled milk from a seal in the artic! birds are sooo clever.
@@mehere8038 I have birds that like white cheese, a cockatoo in general. she will eat small pieces of it.
I need help with my indian ringnecks diet could u give any recommendation even any little advise would be greatful for and would be great help
On what fruit and veg should I feed should i feed her and how mucth should it be frozen or cooked ife seen people may some sort off veg chop and freeze it domt wanna give her same stuff as I've heard it's also good to give them differant foods so there dont get bored off same stuff and also how mucth seeds mix to give her I've seen people also say sunflower seeds and nuts are not good are they ok iff not all the time I've changed my ringnecks seed mix to a no nut and sunflower seed mix what is higher quality than the previous pet shop one was gonna feed her the no seed and no nut mix for a few days and was also gonna try tidymix what is low in sunflower and menna be good and rotate between the 2 and maybe even try pellets once a week iff that's ok for my parrot
Absolutely
So I need help
I know you have taken care of lots of birds so I need advice
We have some trees in our yard and a baby bird fell out of its nest and the parents won't take it back so we are taking care of it and birds are birds so maybe you know what to do
Actually with indian ringneck , i do have one shes a girl . She will sit somewhere with confidence but will just straight go 'weeeee' if it moves slightly
Yes
Sweet ending!
Rescued my 2 year old Ringneck and They had him in a small cage. Any advise to get him to trust me, he always flys away from out the cage and avoids me in the cage.
I agree, I'm working with an albino right now. She is very curious but she has PTSD of hands because what the pervious owners did.
What type of seeds is he working for?
Probs sunflower, safflower, or even millet. The saf and sunflower seeds are cut in tinny pieces
Where do you buy those stands like the one Lefty is on?
I think one of their main predators were snakes so your hand reminds him instinctively of a snake ready to strike.
Will you ever do a lovebird video? I would love that :)
How are lefty and Touche doing?
Where is the cheapest place to buy parrots my family been thinking of adopting one
rescue organisations :) Make sure you know what you're getting yourselves in for though! They have really long lives & are prettywell on par with a pet monkey in terms of intelligence & emotional needs & behavioural issues if you don't devote enough time to them & do enough research into training. Not a pet for the faint hearted! You're bringing a wild animal into your home!
I'm not sure where you live but rescue organizations or even buying from an owner that can no longer take care of the bird that way the bird is already tamed but whatever you do make sure to do alot of research on the breed of bird your interested in that way you know what your in for birds take alot of time they need alot of attention my first bird I got was a Quaker parrot I bought him from a previous owner because she could no longer care for him anymore he was already tame birds can live for 30 years and the bigger birds like cockatoo and other big parrots can alot of times like 50 years or longer if there well takes care of birds are very messy alot of times very curious be sure to do your research before your thinking about getting a pet bird
It has to be hard to post a video showing a difficult day. It’s important for “wouldbe” bird owners to see how hard it can be. You’re level of commitment to these birds is amazing.
But when lefty says “party!”…
What are you gonna do
My cockatoo LOVES scrambled eggs. She gets her own cockatoo omelet just fer her.
How does your family react to the Indian ringneck’s
Can you suggest me wht should I do when my alexandrine parrots bite me. They are of 3 ½ months nd both of them bite everyone in the house. They are with me since they were of 1month. They don't even stay at one place when i try to train them. They just fly away. Plz suggest
You could clip their wings and then keep them where they can see you most of the time.
Spend time and get to know them
Mostly they bite because of fear
Tempt them with their favourite food
I was wondering about that yesterday. Like whether or not the camera and the fact that they can hear and see the lens constantly adjusting to stay in focus was making it difficult to train them. Maybe there’s a way to a-fix a camera to some glasses that isn’t to clunky or uncomfortable for you, so you cold get the shots of their body language cues from your literal perspective, and shorten training time in one go. All I can think of is Google Glass, and I'm not sure those ever really caught on.
This bird is already tame?
I rehomed a three year old ringneck. I’m his third owner. I’ve been attempting to clicker train him by just acquainting him with the sound and treats. Today while we were training he took a few treats after the click well but the last one instead of taking the treat he bit down striking my hand.
I’m still learning a lot about this particular type of bird. I’m not sure if I missed a type of distinct body language that would have warned me he was over it. Not sure….
I stopped the training immediately after that and let him have his space. Any ideas?
did it hurt, what sort of pain is it?
@@navinbhandari2001 definitely hurt yes. He lunged and made a growl type of sound and his beak pierced into my skin. I've noticed he tends to get this way anytime I try to target train him. He becomes very impatient is what it seems.
❤️
Wallpaper?
Touche really is keen for the target stick. What if you cup your hand over the end of the target stick and see if he will touch it..click and praise as you do. It might work.
One of them was clearly say " READY ".
Everytime you said READY He came right up to you saying READY AS WELL AS OK.
Hi bird tricks can you help me please I have a 4 and a half month old yellow sided gcc and eats everything the wall she tried biting her cage she always bites and her food bowl please help me thank you also she is tamed i can hold her pet her and everything.
I always recommend starting training with my beginner course here: birdtricksstore.com/products/the-basic-parrot-course-stop-biting
@@BirdTricks ok thank you
Hi I am Pooja I have three young ringneck parrots, wanted to consult regarding training. Please let me know how to connect?
I blend shell with egg.
Really enjoy your videos.
I was #1k for likes🥰
Owning a parrot is very less to do with control and more to do with love and affection. So don't wear yourself out if you fail to fully train a parrot. That's never 100% achievable. I think she gets pretty agitated if she doesn't have *control* in general. I personally don't think they were chaotic. It's just her way of expressing when she fails to have 100% control over a situation. As a trainer I thought she'd be more patient. Remember, it's more to do with love and connection than just plain control and training. Birds need to *feel* connected to you before any training takes place. I think they were both very well behaved. This is not how parrots usually behave. As long as you understand parrots aren't meant to be 100% in control as they're mainly wild, you're good.
You’re me as a mom. That is all. Move closer pls lol
I’ve had my ringneck for a couple months now and he’s so scared of me walking up to him. Even when I bring him his food, he will freak out until I walk away and then go straight towards the food. I’m trying the power stance with him and I think it’s working :) any other advice would be great since I can’t train him using treats when he has no interest in anything I give him
I read that about Ringnecks before I got mine. That they are not food motivated. I tried fresh strawberry first treat for training. Never had an issue. I also started trust training with a simple "boop" on the beak. Just one, at random.
If your bird is running from you, first try something scrumptious in the food dish. 1-2 bites only. Continue with scrumptious goodness from the end of a finger or flat hand, moving it from fingertip to palm. A little farther in after each success. This could take days or weeks, if he's terrified of hands. I'm no trainer, just a few years with birds. Luck!
Try the technique from this video, but with your body instead of hand, so stand there at a distance till he relaxes, then I guess click or tell him he's a good boy (my lorikeets really love being given verbal praise as a reward & don't have to be close to do that), other option is to step back as a reward when he calms for you. Then after a few minutes, take another step forward & repeat as many times as he's comfortable with, then leave, then do it again later.
I had to feed & change the water for my rescues at night to begin with, cause they were so stressed about me near them, shouldn't take that long for him to get used to you if you do the hand thing from this video with your whole body though, maybe a couple of weeks of multiple times a day training before you can put food into the cage without distress
@@mehere8038 thank you so much!
@@Unreligion yw, all the best! It's so hard isn't it when you just want to cuddle them & tell them it will be ok but they want anything but & can't understand you just want to love them & care for them. Fingers crossed you'll be able to get yours to respond so you can at least get near him!
I feel that 😂
I thought lefty and touche got adopted?
These are year old videos
I adopted Touché 😍. He’s my stinker boy but I love him to death!
If you can please reply I’m getting a parrot for my birthday and we’re tryna choose between a ring neck or a sun conure so which is better and yes I am experienced with birds
It all comes down to your research. Which bird can you supply the best environment?
Sun Conures tend to be loud (I have two) but you can train them to make other vocalisation
Ring necks I haven't worked with personally, but just be sure to do your research on both species, as im not an expert
@@tentroy ok thank you so much
Definitely research extensively. Sun conures are very vocal and ringneck bluffing stage can be mild or extreme. What type of bird experience do you have and where do you intend to get your bird? Breeder or rescue? There is a lot to consider but remember that no two birds are the same. You could get a ringneck that is super sweet and hand tamed or they could say it is but then it's aggressive. Are you willing to work through those difficult times (ringneck puberty can be challenging) or will you be scared of getting bit. I am sure you will make the best decision and wish you luck!
Hey please make some regular shorts with jinxi and others goofing with u
When I saw your birds trick and I think 🤔 maybe I can do it 🤧🤧🤧but now I realize.... howwww she do that 😨😨😨
