Care and Feeding of Indian ringneck  for sale

Fresh food and water must be provided daily.
In the wild, Indian Ringneck Parakeets eat a variety of seeds, berries, fruits, nuts, blossoms, and nectar. In addition to these foods, you can offer them vegetables and commercial pellets. They also enjoy the same nutritional foods humans eat, including cooked chicken. Cooked beans, rice, and grains are also enjoyed, but soft foods like these will spoil in about 4 hours. An occasional millet spray is a nice treat.

If you notice any aggressive behavior, it’s best to avoid scolding as the bird can develop a lifetime fear of people. The best way to handle this bird is to ignore bad behavior and use positive reinforcement for good behavior.

The cage for this bird needs to be larger than you might expect. It should accommodate its long tail and let the bird hop around and play when you’re not around. Make sure the bar spacing isn’t large enough for them to get stuck in or escape through; the ideal size is 1/2-inch to 5/8-inch spacing.

Maintaining Indian ringneck for sale 

The basic cage care includes daily cleaning of the water and food dishes. Weekly you should wash all the perches and dirty toys, and the floor should be washed about every other week. A total hosing down and disinfecting of an aviary should be done yearly, replacing anything that needs to be freshened, such as old dishes, toys, and perches.

Social Behaviors

In the wild, these birds live in flocks and are very social. They have a pleasant nature but will develop a screaming habit if teased.

Indian ring-necked parakeets can make sweet, tame pets but will not remain so if neglected. If played with every single day, these birds can be loving, loyal companions. If neglected, you can have a biter on your hands. These might not be the best birds for children, as ringnecks tend to be sensitive to the commotion, including night frights (thrashing around the cage during the night as if startled). Ring-necked parakeets are not shy birds, and will do best with an owner who appreciates an outgoing companion that is not afraid to demand what it wants!
