- This video is all about safe and healthy foods that can be incorporated in your Ringneck parrots diet.
These foods can also be given to most other parrots such as Alexandrine parrots as well. I've also included toxic and unhealthy foods in this list as well.
Vegetables should be a huge part of your ringneck parrots diet as well as some fruits, nuts, and seeds. Variety is the key to keep your parrot living a long and healthy life. Always do your research on any foods that you are not familiar with before feeding it to your bird.
What is your parrots favourite food?

Ricco talking and making cute noises 🥰👉czcams.com/video/9VtkObrf4KU/video.html
He's always making cute noises ❤️
@@dragonempress8367 haha he does, it makes me laugh because I don’t know where he picked them up from lol 🤷♀️
Can you give them egg for protein? If not then what should you give for protein?
What about Coriander
@@BirdQueenPhoenix Yes you can, but only on occasion. Either boiled or scrambled without seasoning. You can also give them chicken as well on occasion.
Ricco is such a cute character
Aww thank you so much 🥰
The red chili pepper fits Ricco's pink foot perfectly!
Oh that’s right, I never thought of that, plus it matches his beak lol 😂
Enjoyed very nice vlog have to good time with Ricco like 536.
Thank you for watching 😊
Great video and very very informative ❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you ❤
You're helping so many bird owners. Ricco is eating so well and loved by a great pet owner.
Aww thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to say .
So cute 😘😘
I'm coming round to yours Ricco I'd be happy to eat your healthy options 🐦🤣
Haha he eats better than I do 😂
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Ricco's Fruit & Veg shop 🐦🥦🥥👍
Morning from Johannesburg South Africa....Jhon loves pasta...fruits and veggies and peanuts....he gets seeds too.
Sounds delicious. I love the name Jhon, so unique 😊. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
❤❤❤❤❤
Ricco, fofura pura!!!🐦😍😘❤️
Your educational videos are always so interesting to watch, especially with Ricco in it. He's such a character 💚
Aww thank you 🥰 It’s easy when it comes to food lol.
Thank you for being so informative. I knew most of this but some I did not. Do once sgain thank you. Your awesome👍
Lots of love from Australia 🥰
Aww thank you for your positive feedback, I really appreciate it 🥰
Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this video!🥰 Ricco was once again the perfect birdie model.😍 Thank you sharing! Have a delightful Sunday my dear friends!🌹
Aww thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰 Hope you had a great weekend 😊.
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Always so much fun to watch!😍 Quiet weekend...Gizmo🐶 is laying by my head snoring...so sweet!🥰
@@amandaleeborchert3745 Omg I can just picture that, so adorable 🥰 That’s what weekends are made for 😁
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing video!
It breaks my heart when poor innocent birds are being fed these awful diets ):
Me too 😞
Thank you this video was wonderful.
Very informative. Thank you!
Awee Ricco 😍
🥰❤️🥰
Thank you for very informative information
Your welcome. Thank you for watching 😊
I loved the illustrating scenes with Ricco eating. 💚 Btw the main food of wild IRN in Europe are tree buds and berries.
Aww thank you 🥰 It’s amazing how they can adapt to different environments and climate. Other parts of the country they will feed on nuts, berries, seeds and fruits if available . The ringneck parrot who survived the winter in Canada before being rescued also survived off of berries and tree buds.
😋😋😋yesss fooooood bibi's favourite
It’s yummy 😋
Thank you so much for Posting this Very Important Helpful Video😊this is so crucial that they eat a Variety of everything you mention to keep them healthy. So many ppl just give them bag seed from the pet stores thinking that has everything they need to stay healthy…sadly it’s completely the opposite😔With my flock it’s so cute how each bird will like different Vegetables, fruits, & Nuts lol & some are more pickier than the other ones Lol Awww Sweet Ricco standing there being such a Good Boy Listening to his Momma Talk☺️he’s is too Precious & Cute🥰❤️🦜 😊Tyvm Again!❤️😊
Aww thank you so much for your positive feedback and experience with food and your feathered flock. It’s also such a joy to see them enjoy a variety of foods, Ricco loves trying new foods lol. You sound like you take such great care of your birds, your ringneck parrot will be lucky to join your flock and have you as a owner 😊❤️
Yay 🦜💚💛
Thank you soooo much
Mam your videos are so useful and informative please make more videos
Thank you, I appreciate this. It has been difficult recently to do educational videos because of work, but I will try to do more. I have many in my playlist that hopefully you enjoy and find helpful.
Omg Shakespeare and Blue LOVE watermelon and cantaloupe!! We haven’t had a chance to experiment with others as I wasn’t sure what all was safe, but of course, I found this video in your channel that helped me out tremendously! I’m so excited to try some new things with them!! Thank you so much for posting these videos! 🤗🤗
Oh watermelon and cantaloupe is a favourite of Ricco’s as well and pomegranates but it makes such a mess lol. I’ve recently tried giving Ricco cooked quinoa and he seems to love it. I’m glad you found the video helpful. It’s fun to see what they enjoy eating. Give Shakespeare and Blue kisses from Ricco and I 😘
Thanks
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 ttttt ttttt
I just got a ringneck a few days ago. He is young and not tame yet but hopefully with time he will be tame. We named him Henry. He is very curious about everything.
Aww congratulations on your new Ringneck. I love the name Henry. Give him time, he will come around. It took me 1 year for Ricco to fully trust me, but now he’s my other half lol
He is kind of quiet but only makes a sound when he gets on top my cockatiels cage or watching the Flintstones lol
Very helpful I really appreciate that you took the time to make this video and shared it with everyone 👍
Thank you for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it 😊
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🥰
I’m a new African Ringneck companion. I’m going to try the chilis. She likes bell peppers. I have one of those skewer things. I’m going to use it.
Aww congratulations on your new African Ringneck, they are adorable.
Thankyou so much for posting such informative video...❤️❤️
Thank you, glad you found it helpful ❤️
am a new irn owner thank u so much for this video
Congratulations on your new IRN, hope you found the video helpful.
I have benefited a lot through your educational videos. I got to admit, it’s been a great help!! I watched this Video 4 times at least!!!!!
Oh wow, thank you 😁. I’m glad they are helpful. I no Ricco enjoys being part of the videos, especially when food is involved 😂
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn 😁😂
Thankyou so much for the help...❤️🥰
Oh no problem 😊❤️
Thanks for sharing this Video! Nice to see Ricco being the Role Model once again following your illustrative guidelines for Healthy Diet for the Ringneck!!! When is Ricco’s Graduation? 😁😍 We are so proud of you Ricco boy!🥰🤗😍🙌🥰😇
Aww thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🥰Haha I really should get him a certificate for being such a good boy in the videos, but with food it’s pretty easy 😂 Thank you for watching.
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn 😁😂
❤❤❤💙💙💙
❤️🥰❤️
I like how you pointed out that salt is more unhealthy than toxic. I get really worried sometimes about my little Senegal.
I’m the worst, I get paranoid about everything lol. Hope you found the video helpful.
Hi Ricco and Ricco's Mom Ricco is so adorable.thanks so much for the wonderful video.yes I give Angel 2 pellets zupreen and Celtic pellets.yes I give Angel vegetables.I give angel oranigic vegetables Angel test came out the same as last time so they are lowering his medicine hopefully this year he will be off of his medicine.Angels loves apples.thanks so much for the wonderful video.Give Ricco and kiss from me and my Angel 💋.A big like from me.My veterinarian told me I can't give Angel pineapple said it has to much acid.have a wonderful weekend with the adorable Ricco
That’s great news, hopefully Angel can be off the medication soon 🤞
The acidity can be a bit much for parrots, so it’s a good thing your vet told you so. Angel definitely is a great diet, you take such great care of him 🥰. Enjoy the rest of your day. Give Angel kisses from Ricco and I .
This is such a helpful video. When i got my indian ringneck i was almost paranoid about what to do with his diet. He was on a exclusive nut/seed/dried fruit blend. I've got a massive nut allergy so i didnt want peanuts literally being flown around the house. So i initially contained it to the cage, and gave him fresh food outside, which he is for the majority of the day. I quickly got some Harrisons pellets, which still have nuts but dont have the dust problem. But from a early visit with the Vet for a nail and beak trim, ive switched to Nutriberries as his main fats source. They're excellent. And my avian vet told me not to worry too much about providing all foods all at once, just provide what you brought that week. Pick one tropical fruit, and once dark green veg, one veg with carotene, and just mix it up weekly. This video is so helpful to know what is safe, how much and how when x
Thank you so much, I’m glad you found the video helpful. Sounds like you are providing your baby a great diet. If you are worried about the nuts in Harrisons try going with Tops pellets, Ricco loves these and they are cold pressed witch is better for them.
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Thank you :). Hes not really gone for the Harrisons (i'm not surprised really) but i still offer them with the nutriberries. I only offer 5 berries in the morning and 5 berries early evening, mostly to get him to go in there lol. He gets kale, carrots and some leafy green during the day mostly and apple, which is like crack lol. It depends whats in season. I normally offer his favourite, which is grape or mango in the evening when he goes into his cage. I dont know what it is but he wont go in at night. He'll go in all day, but he hates it at night?? any advice?
@@souplahoopla6122 Omg that’s so funny, Ricco is the same but opposite lol. He will go in at nighttime without any issues but during the day. I had a difficult time with getting him in the cage at nighttime as well but figured out that he will do anything for pine nuts, so I use these only for nighttime. He actually looks forward to bedtime now because he knows he’s getting Pine nuts 😁
So cute ❤ is Pomegranate & passion fruits seeds safe for parrots ? These are my fav fruits and i would love to eat together ❤️
Aww thank you. It’s funny you asked because I just bought some pomegranates for Ricco the other day lol. He loves them, but be prepared they make a mess. I put news paper on the table so he can enjoy it and make a mess. I did try passion fruit before, but he didn’t seem to enjoy it. Both are safe as well as the seeds, just be sure to properly wash them and you may also want to remove the skin to be safe. Also try to get the sweet ripe ones. Hope your parrot enjoys 😊
it basically a seed eater and most he like guava seed tomato seed watermelon and melon seed cucumber but guava seed he like very much
It’s important to feed your bird vegetables and greens as well, seeds alone will not provide a bird the proper nutrients.
My parrot 🦜🦜 favourite food is guava and almonds 😁😁🙃🤗🤗
Oh Ricco loves almonds, guava not so much lol. It’s interesting how they all like different foods 😁🤷♀️🦜
You take such great care of Ricco. Really enjoyed watching this video, found it so interesting. I did not realize parrots enjoy such a wide variety of foods. Good share as always. 😊
I brought 2 ring neked parrots from crawford market in mumbai and it has been only a week and one died and other one is just sleeping and not doing anything i took him to a doctor today and he told me to not to buy them from that market where they are kept together and they must be suffering from viral and bacterial infection he gave all the medication like multivitamin and birds need drops i hope atleast he survives somehow but doctor told its not guaranteed that he will survive please guys dont buy from those markets where they are kept together in a small cage I brought them for my mother but 😢 hope the other one survives trying my best
Oh no, I’m so sorry. It’s so heartbreaking to hear that they are kept in these kinds of conditions.
I hope the one you have will survive and will have a better home. Thank you for caring.
Just got a ringneck, a beautiful green bird. Someone wanted to let him/her go into the wild, and they’re very clearly tamed so I agreed to take them. Need to take it to the vet as I’m not sure if they’re male or female, although no ring around the neck but perhaps still young. Your videos are super helpful. I do have a question if you could answer, we keep seeds in their cage and they don’t stop eating, I’m not sure if we should only place it in certain times of the days - or we can keep the seeds in the cage. We’ll give fresh fruits and veggies as snacks. Thank you!
Aww thank you for taking him in.
I only give Ricco seeds as treats and pellets, fresh fruits, vegetables and a variety of healthy foods daily to make up the nutrients he needs. Seeds are extremely fatty foods and is like junk food so it should be limited. If he is on a all seed diet he definitely needs a lot of vegetables, fruits and other foods to help keep him healthy.
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to share advice with me!! Definitely going to change up their diet right now
@@deirdreoh7846 Just do it slowly as they will need time to transition them to other foods such as pellets.
Great Video thank you, I have Had an IRN and tried most foods with him that you mention, I have found he will pretty much refuse anything other than White pumpkin seeds and Apple. Any tips for getting him to eat his greens and otehr veggies thanks.
I always recommend giving a bird foods he doesn’t eat or foods that you are trying to get him to eat first thing in the morning before he eats anything else. For example give him greens and vegetables before his favourite foods such as Apples and seeds. If you offer him the foods he likes most first he will get full from those and will most likely not eat what he should such as vegetables. This will take time but don’t give in to him to quickly.
Here is a video I did, hopefully it will help 👉czcams.com/video/J1XX8FPl3_g/video.html
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Thank you for the Advice, have started to try this today, It is actually showing some interest in the fresh veg before yeeting it out of his cage, I shall certainly keep at it though :)
@@TheWatson83 I’m glad to hear .
It is safe to hold bouquets of flowers in the room such as tulips/roses ? Not for eating just for display. Would it be safe/toxic for parrots ? Thanks ❤
If they are naturally grown they are safe. If they are store bought I’d be concerned about the pesticide or chemicals that were used. As long as your bird is not eating them you should be fine just having them in the same room.
What do you think about hemp, flax and chia seeds. My alexandrine eats a lot of those but he hates broccoli and leafy greens. I'm getting stressed out because now his feathers are turning grey. 😭😭😭
If you do see a change in his feather colouring I’d get him to the vets for a check up just to be safe or at least give them a call for an opinion . Could you try mixing it all up and just sprinkle grounded hemp, flax and chia seeds so that way he has no choice to mix through the veggies and hopefully will get some. I personally would feed him his greens when he’s most hungry before getting anything else. Does he eat pellets at all?
My 2 male ringmecks only eats seads, apples, corn, squash, pumpkin
Try to get them to eat more greens, they really need it as part of their diet.
Meanwhile Rico wondering "why is mom feeding me everything in the house today?"😂😂
😂😂
I have an albino ringneck but it doesnt have a preen gland..should i be concerned ?
Are you able to take a picture and DM it to me on Instagram so I can try to help. Also has it always been like this? It just may be difficult to see because your bird is an Albino.
Pretty boy ❤ can i give my parrot flaxseed , chia seeds , quinoa? Is okay raw or they need to be boiled ? 😊 thanks
Quinoa you can cook or sprout, don’t feed raw. Chia seeds and flaxseeds are ok raw 😊
@Riccothegreenpiedirn thank uu . Can i do also popcorn without oil . Is that good/safe for parrot?
Does quinoa needs to be boiled ? Thanks ❤
I boil it before serving.
My patro can eat guava ten times a day.
My parrot is a picky eater and he rejects almost all vegetables. Is there a way to make him eat more vegetables?
Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this. I always recommend trying to get your bird to eat foods that they normally wouldn’t eat first thing in the morning when they are hungry. Is your bird on a seed diet, pellets or both? Here is a video I also did, hopefully it will help you. 👉. czcams.com/video/J1XX8FPl3_g/video.htmlsi=rqvslbIzFBS9lSpe
Hi I need your help please I have been given a ringed neck yesterday as it was attacked by a eagle and fell to ground it has a ring around his neck halfway
So approximately how old is he and why does he eat and sleep drink water and repeat 😅I want him to be happy and healthy can you please help me out with my worry 😢
Is this a wild bird or could it be someone’s lost pet. If someone’s pet I’d post on lost and found birds as someone must be really missing him. For now he should be taken to a vet if he was attacked by birds to make sure he is okay.
It's a wild bird it was found by our electrician lying on the roadside stunned and since I have a 7 year African Grey he gave it to us we checked for wounds cuts bruises none whatsoever little champ eats and sleeps is so tiny compared to our African Grey Muffin
Thank you for your reply
Can we feed boiled egg to parrots ? The white part of both ?
You can feed them boiled eggs, I do especially when Ricco is molting. Otherwise it’s best not to over do, it also depends on what their diet is in general and what they may be missing. But I usually may give Ricco some twice a month when he’s not molting just to mix up his diet. I serve Ricco the entire egg, just be sure it’s properly cooked.
I was wondering if frozen vegetables like kale spanach are safe for parrots diet ?
Frozen vegetables are safe, it’s just important to read the ingredients to make sure they don’t have added ingredients like sallt or unhealthy preservatives. Personally I prefer fresh and freeze them myself, but in some case’s they are ok.
@Riccothegreenpiedirn thank you so much for your help and info ❤
Peppers????? 🌶
Are really Good for the Indian Ring Necks Please?
In moderation they are.
Can we give banana to ring neck parrots?
Oh yes of course. Anything I mentioned in this video that is safe you can feed your ringneck parrot, just make sure it’s all in moderation especially with fruits.
It’s alright to feed them spicy? 2:54
If you are referring to hot peppers, yes it is safe.
Does it matter if the vegetables are steamed or raw ? 🤔
They are ok both ways
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn thank you 😊
They don't have personal chef's in the wild you know
Well they do in our house!!!
Why you don't feet your parrot Peanut? Is something wrong with them ?
I prefer to give Ricco other nuts such as almonds and pine nuts. You can feed your bird peanuts, it’s the shell that you need to be careful about as they may carry mold if they are not stored properly. If you do want to feed your bird peanuts just buy the ones that are good for humans as well to be safe.
@Riccothegreenpiedirn i bought a nut/dry fruit mix bag and they came in shells, but i will remove it myself before giving him peanut . I thought they're not healthy or something 🤔 thanks for info 😍
Can I give them biscuits??
Do you mean cookies?
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn No. I mean Vita Marie biscuits
My parrot likes it a lot.
@@Fatma_Deshmukh. most birds will eat and love anything that is not healthy for them lol.
A little taste every so often will not hurt him, but I wouldn’t recommend giving it to him often as they are not good for them long term. You are better off giving him or making him natural cookies without any sugar.
@@Riccothegreenpiedirn Thank you so much for this information. I will never give them biscuits 😇
Maira Mithu sb Kch khata hai
Those bells and rope toys are unsafe . The fiber of the rope can cause severe problems and they can get their beek stuck in the bell and posably breaking their beek... buy natural wood toy or stainless steel...
Ricco does not chew on them, he never has. If he did I would definitely remove it, I’m very aware of these things and have mentioned this in another video.
it was torture writting all that stuff down. why not show a list on screen so we can take a pic
Just be thankful that I made a video!!!
