I had an African Grey. He was out of his cage to sleep. He loved staring at the light over the range. He stayed on his perch. He lovingly stared and then would go to sleep

My rainbow lorikeet only sleeps in his cage. during the day he’s with me all the time. It is great but just like a child you must watch them all the time, I’ll be composting and he wants to play, I’ll be hanging the washing and he’s scaling the line, I’m going to the toilet and he’s mimicking the noise of the wee lol! He just wants to be on my shoulder the entire day he’s the most energetic bird I’ve ever seen. When I am gardening he will dig in the dirt and sing he’s such a blessing. I can’t eat around him he wants to try everything I put in my mouth he is so curious. His poops are easy to clean and I just wipe it up ASAP, good to keep wipes near by. He has moments where the dogs bark may scare him and he can get really freaked out and bite but very rarely. He is so smart it’s unreal so much personality. I never knew birds could act the way he does and like the things he likes... he wants to wrestle with my hand he’s so amazing!

How did you prevent him from flying! I have a young ringneck which I'm training, but the flying is a concern for ne

Today my Indian Ringneck almost for the first time! Sure, he only put one foot on me, but still! It's progress! Everyone else out their having trouble with their bird: keep faith, I will be praying for you tonight!

Trust me not having a cage is the best thing for Ringnecks as long as they have a time out stand They are obnoxiously Pig headed if they want out....no cage will stop them lol....and then comes the NOISE

My green cheek came home at the age of one and half. He was caged in a pet store whole life… I live in a studio so I thought it would be easy to have him cage free. He took my plant stand as his chill spot and had a sleeping spot that he also chose. He knows the one spot I don’t want him in and is respectful of that. He’s such a good boy.

My mom had an Indian ringneck parrot 🦜 very similar to yours- He lined 33 years!! He said ‘Hello’ & ‘Talk to me’ and he whistled charge!!

When you were talking about the mess, Touché was listening & looking at you like “you say that like it’s a bad thing.” Touché, touché.

You might not have wings like your birds but you are an angel. The work that you do for these little guys is priceless ♡

Ive been trying to let my budgie out of the cage so he can get used to being out. He was very scared at first, kept flying whenever i moved a bit. Now hes a bit more chill and i dont have to tiptoe anymore. And he can fly back to his cage when he wants. Or i can lure him to my hand and direct him.

Same!!! Their weird little personalities are so much fun, they're gorgeous, and if they talk, that's just a bonus.

my 10 month old Ringneck is a free-range chicken. He had a big cage at first but i moved after 2 months and i found the space so awkward for his cage, so he has a beautiful big tree over an old upright piano with a few areas to explore. there's 3 border collies around who just watch him (never would touch, just herd!), and the ceiling fan never goes on, everyone is happy and no close calls. he is so clingy that if he's not on his tree, he's on my head or atop the curtains. a lot of cleanup but he he's so happy. The big cage is now at my boyfriend's parents place for when we're there, and he only ever goes in there in defiance at bedtime.

Thank you for bringing this story back to KZread!

Your welcome 🥰 Thanks for watching!

Can I say something contraversial that goes against everything you teach in relation to the Indian Ringneck? We had all the same struggles with our IRN as what I'm hearing from other people. Once I got him target trained, knew how to step up and a few tricks, I would slowly approach but swiftly put my hand over him and my thumb under his beak. It looks like my hands are around his neck but I'm only touching right under his beak. Then we would pet his head. He definitely didn't like it and he was freaked out at first. We would end it with a treat. After a week or two of doing that, we progressed to slowly putting our hands over him and just petting without putting my hand under his beak. A second or two at first and then longer and longer. Always followed with a treat. People say this is flooding but it didn't result in learned helplessness. Our bird flies to us now and seeks out our company. He's 1000% happier now than he used to me. He's still not 100% cool with petting he allows it on occasion without any complaint. This is what they do with Indian Ringnecks in Pakistan and India. They just hold them and pet them. It's flooding but for some God forsaken reason for IRN's it works. Indians and Pakistanis have been keeping these birds for thousands of years, so how can we say it's 100% wrong? It's a case-by-case basis for me and we gave it 5 months of target training on trust training only.

My cockatiel has a cage but the door is always open. He comes in and out as he pleases and he’s really happy about it. For unknown reasons, his flight feathers on his right wing stopped growing so he can’t fly well and he knows it so he doesn’t try and fly too far to get into any kind of trouble. When he wants attention or wants to move about with us, he lets us know with chirping and body language. He has a little perch that I put on an end table and he will chill with me for hours while I work too. He is 25 years old!

Your such an expert when it comes to birds, I have leant a lot from your videos.

I love the slow approach in the beginning, so hilarious 😂

I would add that another downside is that they're with you all the time. "you time" is limited. Sometimes I don't want a bird on me. One of my birds prefers to just chill in the same room as us but the other wants to be on us 24/7.

Thank you for sharing! It's so amazing to see their progress! 🤩🥰💜💯

They're both so cute

Hes so adorable🤗

You did a great job with both of them. Its nice to see them again

I have 30 birds that I have rescued and kept. Most were cage free at one point. My medium and large birds do great. Unfortunately I have found no matter how careful you set up a room the small birds tend to always find the oddest places to get stuck and eventually die. So my small birds are always in a huge cage for their safety.

He is so interested in what you're saying. Btw you inspire me so much. I wish I could do this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My Sammy is completely cageless. Birds dont see well at nite so a nite lite is a no no as shodows may make them take flight. which could be a death sentance. Quiet and dark from 10 to 5am. A garden jungle with a tree is also essential so they can learn to entertain themselves while im busy. A small plastic childs swimm pool works excellent filled with dirt and plants like basil, oregano, lettuce etc, and lots of toys. Love your channel

You know he's just there, listening lol Jokes apart. Ringnecks are difficult. They're the most challenging parrots. If you're a calm person go for Electus, they're beautiful, almost toy like appearance and very calm.

Aww your birds are so cute !☺️

I have to say my talking budgie is the best of both worlds - open door cage. He loves to chill in his cage but will come out often and the second you call him. He goes in it by himself at night and I close it for safety if I have workers over or if I want to sleep in 😬 It’s next to a window where he cheerfully eats his food and watches the outdoor birds soar.

My birds are cageless and they are so much happier having the choice to be where they want, I do currently have them limited to one room though as my budgie hasn't been recall trained yet!

I have 2 amazons and they are free outside all day, i built 2 stands out of pvc pipe and a wire stand with cup holders that stands a little over 2 feet off the ground so they can't look for mischief when we step outside for a while aka climb down and bite wires, furniture, etc. They only go in a huge steel cage when we go out for the day and amazing they willingly get in the cage themselves lol they seem to understand when we are going out and it's like they know it's for protection because after a day of chilling outside they go inside the cage to sleep, then back on the stands at mornings.

I have 100+ respect

My three IRN's had a huge cage in my family room for a couple of years and would never go in it even when I encourged them to use it. So out went the big cage and my husband built them a huge play centre where the cage was and they happily play and sleep there, cageless. It's full of toys and ropes and gum branches. They really love that area but are free to use the whole kitchen family area. With cooking we wait until they settle down to their play area for the night which is just before dark, they put themselves to bed now. I'm use to chopping veggies with them having their share whilst I chop, but the stove doesn't go on until they are settled into their sleep area. Yes the mess is huge but kept in the one area of the house and there are plenty of people to help clean, it's not just one persons job. My husband has started bird proofing the outside patio for spring and summer her in Australia, so I'll see if they like it out there for short periods supervised during the day.

So cute

When we bought our ringnecks we knew that they will require a lot of training and effort. So far they don't even allow us to get close to them, and forget about hands, my gosh, hands are like snakes to them. We've gotten them 2 weeks ago, so far the progress we made is that they'll allow us to get within arms reach of the cage if we walk real slow, most of the time. Eating anything off of our hands?

touche is so cute

Indian Ring Necks are one of the most adorable creatures on the planet. I've been fascinated with parrots for a long time but I always told myself I'd have to settle for living vicariously through others. My living arrangements and schedule and current overall lifestyle simply won't permit owning a bird like this, and I'm completely fine with that. However, every IRN parrot video makes me wanna buckle on that decision and go run out and try to adopt one. It's not gonna happen, but perhaps one day.

I love my IRN but I don't think they should be pet birds. My vet said my IRN is the most tame he has ever seen and I still think he is crazy and harder to handle compared to my other two parrots. The talking is cute but it's really not worth it. Videos on the internet cause problems because people think its really cute. But please know that IRNs bite, scream and fly a lot. Even my really tame and well handled one. And they turn wild very quickly if you don't handle them. You have to be ready for bites that draw blood and they really hurt. If you have never had a parrot before I strongly advise to go for an easier first bird. And do lots of research. :) Every species will have good and bad, and not all birds from the same species are the same.

Each of your entrances and your exits of your house should have a vestibule or what we call in corrections the sallyport. It would help with your cooling or your healing of your home but most of all, it also cut down on birds accidentally getting outside.

My indian ringneck and 2 cockatiels are out of their cages 24/7. It's messy but I like that they are as free as possible in my home.

Indian ringnecks are so cute

We are pro cageless for our babies but we do have cages that they use when it is bed time but otherwise they are out and about as part of the family 🥰

My rainbow lorikeet started off with just a basket as his perch and toilet but he seemed insecure when he was home alone. He hides behind sofas and TVs where all the electronic wire are. So, we got him a cage but leave the door open at all times and he is more comfortable

Brilliant. My birds only sleep in a cage , I never close the door. Caged birds should be illegal in all countries.

It's really cool that they can fly too unlike most people cut their wings or use chains

It was @BirdTricks videos on clicker training to say words /phrases on command that got me to teach my conure to say two words (with hand sign cue) . He learned each one in about an hour, two days a part. Parrots are SO smart ,and catch on so fast! He is almost 5, but already knew spin and roll over from when he was under a year of age. Now he also can say two words on command.

Great video as always. I learn so much from you! I have a 1 year old Caique, Lucy. I work from home so she is cageless for a majority of the day. It can be high stress because she gets into things even though I felt like I parrot proofed them, so she has to be watched closely. The positive is we get a lot of great bonding throughout the day, the biggest negative is that when I leave the room or cage her, she gets stressed and sometimes screams until she can see me again. It isn't bad and because of your video with Widget, I learned from you and am working on the occasional screaming. Thank you for all you and Dave do to educate people with birds!

IF I leave the room and don't tell him, he freaks like what happened? Is she OK? Did something get her. Don't worry bird will learn the names by hearing you in that room. Stopped the panic screaming. I also make sure I tell him I'm going out so he knows. He always waves and says OK bye bye. I even say I'm going night night now. He says that and bye to me.

Thought this before and still say Touche is saying "Jaimie" :-)

Nice parrot👌

My Green Cheek's cage door gets left open 99% of the time. I only shut it when I have guests or when he needs a time out. I trained him to understand that he's allowed on the cage, playstand, and kitchen cabinets (and to stay in the kitchen/living room when unsupervised). There's nothing stimulating on the cabinets, he just flies up there and back again for exercise (so kitchen poop is rare). My trick with the playstand is to buy square playstands with seed catchers, then extend the catcher's range with empty cereal boxes.

Do you also train boyfriends? jk love your videos thank you!

I have an Indian ringneck, and lets just say it isn't easy. I trained Him to sit on top of his cage, so he's ALWAYS cageless, including at night, and when I'm not in the house.

I wish every pet bird was a free roamer

My burb does shake with his paw, wave with his wings, and kiss kiss, and he makes clicking sounds with his beak, and wave with his paw, and show me the wings where he spreads them out

I have been watching you for the past 3 months I am new to KZread! I have learned so many great things, and with time my Sun Conure will be on the pellet system....... I have made many mistakes with her food...... Oh boy!! However I have a suggestion for you........... I never lock Sweetie in her cage she is free to come in and out as she please...... But around 6pm she comes and has a cuddle with me on the couch and when she is tired she walks to the end of the couch and flutters (after your videos I have stopped trimming her wings) I then pick her up and she has a medium box with a very soft blanket that she sleeps in!! She loves it in there. It is like her own room! When she goes in I put a towel down over the opening so if she need to she can come out! You can educate me if I doing wrong by that........... But I am hoping it a good tip for you since I have gotten so many many valuable tips from you!! Take care

I'd be afraid the box would stimulate egg laying. My green cheek conure is free most if the day. I have worked hard to make his cage a place he likes to be and I have trained going in to the cage as a trick for his very favorite treat. Often I don't even need to ask him to go in because he spends quite a bit of time playing in there. All I have to do is close the door if I need him to stay.

Hi, how do you know when a bird wants to train?

Wouldn't mosquitoe nets for your windows be an option so they won't fly out? I don't know wether or not they are safe or if you mentioned them before but I think it could be a solution.

We have an Eclectus male here in Aust that is free in the house and allowed out in the late afternoon. We here given a male ringneck 7 months ago. He'd been in a cage for 6 years. He's now free in the house but sleeps in a large cage at night. He's just too much to have free 24 hrs. He is allowed out and flies with the wild birds now, nothing can catch him, he's super fast and chases the rainbow lories that we feed. He sure gets wound up at times too not like our Ecky. I would not recommend a ringneck as a first bird. He also likes to chase your feet when you go for a walk.

@Birdtricks - I have an Indian Ringneck, 4 months old, it was clipped... How long does it take for their wings to grow out?

Mine likes to be out of his cage all the time, except for when he goes to sleep. They can’t stand being locked in a cage for too long, it’s just their nature. They’re strong willed, independent birds with inquisitive personalities. Bonding with these gorgeous birds is a beautiful experience, but not for the feint of heart. They will taste your blood sooner or later. 😈🦜

Im looking after one I caught one about 6 weeks ago. It’s Someone’s escaped bird that had been living free for a couple of month getting fed bread etc between neighbours. No owner has been found. The first time I put my hand out flat to offer food in the cage it struck like a viper and drew blood 🩸 Now it steps up, using beak first, to come out of the cage each morning and runs up to my shoulder. Doesn’t want to be touched. The one I lost loved being scratched around the “ears” and would eye pin and coo at me.
