    I grew up in NYC in the 1970s. My first parrot was a Canary-winged Parakeet, although back then they were called "Beebee Dwarf Parrots." The parrot cost $12.95 and rode it home in a box on my bicycle. Once I got home, my mother asked, "What's in the box?" I said, "A little parrot." Then she asked, "Did you get a cage?" I said, "No." Well, Mom (deceased now, God Bless her) got the bird a cage. I called the bird Pierre. Pierre was my best friend for about 8-years. One day it grew weaker and weaker and died. I buried it in a sugar cookie tin in the front yard. I'm 56 now, and don't recall ever crying harder than when that bird died. True story...

    I have two ringnecks (one female and one unsure male or female yet) and honestly you are exactly right. They are very smart and need a lot of human interaction. Mine constantly pick up on my energy if I’m feeling any type of way.. they both know. They are super special little feathered souls. 💚

    I would love to see you work with a smaller bird. The "throw away" birds that people get. Like lovebirds or especially a green cheek. A lot of people underestimate them because of their size and price. I have a green cheek and would love to free fly train him, but it is really scary to think about letting him out alone, so if you could walk through some free flight training safety for smaller birds that would be amazing too. Whatever you do though, thank you so much for sharing everything you do. You're definitely saving birds more than just one person at a time!

    Could you do a budgie for a project bird next? Also it would be great if you did a female? A lot of people just brush budgies of bc of their size and I would love to see you transform a little birdies life :)

    Indian ringnecks r the best birds, i hav been around them since many years..........they r special in their own way, only a right person can understand them.

    I have an 11 year old male Latino IRN named Max. We took Max, with his bestie Ollie the male Alexandrine, on a 16,000km road trip. During the trip we took them both on many outings on our shoulders. By the end of the trip I swear they were the most photographed parrots in Australia. I had spent a lot of time and effort socialising Max when he was young, interacting with lots of different people & places. He did go through the “terrible two’s” where I whether many bites and bad moods. He still has bad days, but don’t we all. I have learnt to read his body language and moods and respects them. I love IRN’s.

    I would really be interested in watching you work with a very small parrot, like a parrotlet or a love bird. I think a lot of people think that just because a bird is small that it's "easier," but I don't think that's true. Also, the little guys are really cute!

    My IRN responds to my mood too. If I cry he comes straight over, looks at my face up close for a few seconds, then leans into my neck and passively lets me snuggle him until I stop crying.

    Some of the IRN traits I enjoy about my own IRN are his amusing physical antics and high activity level, superior flying and climbing skills, mischief (like repeatedly flying off with computer keys and deliberately dropping them down the back of the cupboard when I catch up to him), always coming up with new ways to outsmart me and get what he wants, his willingness to amuse himself without demanding my attention most of the day despite our obvious bond, his easy-to-read body language, everything about the way he talks, and the assertive wilfulness that is often a negative but for me personally has an entertaining side and makes it feel like a real relationship instead of like having a cuddly toy with no mind of its own.

    Our Indian Ringneck was incredibly smart! He loved my husband and attacked me. If he was going to attack me when i wanted him to step up, he'd make fun of me and say, "owwwwweeee!" If he stepped up nicely, he'd say, "good step up!" We swear he would laugh at appropriate parts of our conversations. He was like a toddler going through terrible twos but hilarious.

    Once again, I have no birds and never will but watch for the beauty and wisdom. Don't eliminate your feels, it makes you a "friend" versus a "tuber".

    This Indian Ringneck is very nice. Some Indian guy (or girl, I do not know) brought a few of them to the Netherlands and set them free in the central park in Amsterdam. The whole province is now overwhelmed with Ringneck Parrots. In the tree next to my house there are some 40 of them living and growing. They have no natural enemies here and are overwhelming the area. It is estimated that there are more then 10,000 now flying around here. As we have mild winters and everybody feeds them during the winter, they survive. My favorite one is completely BLUE....I love them, despite the noise, and their daily evening fights before they go to sleep.

    I have had my Indian Ringneck for almost 22 years, I love his independent fearless spirit, We both need our own space, but we love to spend time together and I can scratch his head, tickle his tummy but never for very long. I have not taught him any tricks, but I have encouraged him to explore the houses we have lived in The first thing I did when I got him was let his wings grow out so he has been a confident flyer since he was young. He tolerates others when I am away.but he doesn't remain close to them once I am back.. No regrets from me for selecting an indian ringneck.

    Indian ringneck parakeets have taken over west London. I have birdfeeders outside my window and a whole group comes daily, they love peanuts, apple, pear and banana. Over the summer they became used to me and will carry on eating and chattering whilst I was having coffee on my balcony 🤗

    We rescued an Indian Ringneck from a squalid cage at a fair and she was so precious. I believe my aunt's air freshener addiction killed her :( I will never forget what a beautiful bird she was.

    My favourite thing about my ringneck is that no matter what time if the day it is, no matter what she’s doing or how she’s feeling if I pick up that clicker she is instantly bobbing her head, spreading/flapping her wings a bit and wiggling her whole body in excitement ready to train. It’s sooooooo cute. Because of this excitement and willingness she is such a fast learner. She thrives on being mentally stimulated and learning new things and it makes me so happy. Also the way she holds my hand when I give her a treat 😍😍😍

    Thank you for this video series. I am a first time parrot keeper, and my Indian Ringneck is still very young (8 months) and new to me (2 weeks.) We built him an aviary that he can access from his cage, and he used it for the first time today. It took me several hours of patient time with him, and no aggressive moves or grabbing etc. to get him back into the cage this evening. I used an apple slice, and slowly walked him around the space and into the cage. I would never have been this patient, and understanding of what he was going through if it weren't for you. Thank you for all your insights.
