hey i wouldnt worry too much about the cold, ringnecks have been found to be living in the himilayas so theyre quiet hardy but do make sure its not freezing cold he/she may get frostbite, one of my girls toes started going black and it was a pricey treatment to cure. also becareful about the humidity this can make her sick. so possibly far end of the room away from the A/C and not directly hitting him/her, and close to a window.
i find the lounge room/family room is best as there is almost always someone there.
hope this helps. also if your bird has been traumastied some people try going bak to basics, they treat the bird like a baby and wrap it in a towel and hand feed it, if you do this it will struggle for a while but if u use proper formula than it should end up letting you, also dont remove the seed from its cage.
As well as this im not sure if your aware that ringnecks after a few days of not being handled revert back to being semi-untame and given a week or two can behave agressiveley again, so if you do get it tamed dont assume she will stay that way. it takes consistency.
Oh and PS totally unrelated but teflon can kill birds, the chemicals emitted when teflon pans are heated kills them so be careful of this.
good luck

To the above poster -- you should ask a medical doctor if the bird is dangerous to your health, but I would guess not and I tend to doubt it. |

I just got a 12 week old ringneck from a breeder, Charlie was handfed and I was told handtame. I know it takes time for a new bird to adjust to new surroundings, but I have a few questions.
First, I have an 8 year old female cockatiel and she stays in the sitting room that's open to the living room, family oriented but not too traffic crazy. Should I move Charlie into the sitting room also? I had the cages set up across the room from each other there at first. But once Charlie got home he was so scared and stressed that I moved him to my bedroom. I got in there frequently to talk to him where he isnt lonely...but when is a good time to move him into the sitting room? Or should I do it right away and just let himm adjust on his own?
Secondly, I have only had him a few days.. so whe is a good time to approach handling him? Right now he wont let me anywhere near him. He barely tolerates me being near the cage whn i talk to him. He gets as far away as possible.
And when I have attempted to put my hands in the cage he squawks and flies. He doesnt seem to have any interest in me.
So, I was just hoping someone would help me out and have some advice on what to do and how to help him adjust.

Here are some questions for you: Were you able to handle the bird before you brought him home? If not, why did you pick that particular bird? Ringneck species are not known for being the tamest birds; some are wonderful but on the whole they are a bit skittish. It shouldn't matter where the bird is situated, if he was tame he would be glad to be anywhere where you were. However your bird does not seem to be happy with anyone or in any place, and it might be a good idea to return him and say that you would like one that you can handle and want to do so before you take him home. Let the bird pick you, then you will know that you will have a buddy for life. |

Are there more than one bird in the cage, if so the other bird is probably plucking this one. If not, then I would get him to an avian veterinarian for testing as there may be a bacterial infection going on which needs to be treated. |

Please let me know asap If the bird stayed in the area it is a possibility. However, you need to get fliers out right away and an ad in the local newspaper so if someone found the bird they know where to return it. A reward is a good way to get it back. |

As a breed, the INR is thought to be too passive to take care of itself. Mine surely fits that description. He is the largest of my three birds, but the other two are conures, and much more aggressive. The INR does as it is "told". I do hope you find your bird. I live in Astoria, if I can help look out, please send a description. |
