I recently received a blue Indian ringneck which to my knowledge is only about is few months old. I got it from a friend who could no longer take care of it. I have only had him for about a week.
If I put my hand near the cage, he gets anxious and isn't comfortable at all. If I put my hand in the cage, he will jump around and might start thrashing
I do have other birds: budgies, finches, a lovebird, and a cockatiel, so I might have a little experience but I think I need to know more to train the ringneck!!
He has been eating, drinking, and playing with toys just fine. He eats 1 1/2 tbsp. lafebers cockatiel pellets, a pinch of seeds, and some fruits and nuts daily. His wings are clipped. I have not let him out of the cage. Sometimes during the day he will chatter with my two budgies.
Any advice before I get started with this bird?
