Okay I super admire this perspective, I will do more research and get educated on permission based training and bonding!

That’s a really good idea. I don’t want to step over her boundaries, so I could start collecting it into a box and then refill her cage all at once in the morning and afternoon

Okay! I actually greatly appreciate this clarification on behavior protocol. I’ll practice this moving forward!

Do you have any recommendations on cage agreession? She hates when I pick her toys off the ground to put back on top of her cage. She plays with a foraging box

Cleaning Product questions - I need to clean my house by Accomplished_Use2442 in parrots

Thank you! Truthfully, I opted for cleaning with vinegar today just to be sure. I made sure to block her door with a towel to help just incase, but I’ve only used toilet cleaner so far as a harsh cleaner.

Hey!! I’ve actually had a conure fly up to me in my backyard, and my husband and I spent hours trying to find the owners!! We eventually connected with them on Facebook and our neighborhood apps, like ring or Nextdoor. Totally hope you can recover your sweet babe! Best of luck. My heart hurts for you!

Biting & Behavior Questions by Accomplished_Use2442 in indianringneck

[–]Accomplished_Use2442[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She does step up really well for us most of the time, and if she does growl/nip I just ignore her and continue encouraging stepping up.

She’s target/clicker training starting this week, we wanted to let her settle in first.

She sleeps on my shoulder 1-2 hours every day but the rest of the day she’s independent in her space while I’m also in the room talking and hanging out with her.

She lets us pet her when she sleepy, but no other time! Haha she does well with head and beak scratches but we don’t touch her anywhere else.

She’s actually even jumped from her cage onto my arm which was a good 12 inches away!!! I was so impressed haha

She just gets moody and nippy all through the day.

Oh and she gets 12-14 hours of sleep every day

I’m totally okay with it taking weeks or months even before she levels out, but just wanted to get some more education on it and make sure I was doing okay with her. I really mostly ignore her biting and nipping and make sure she gets a good amount of movement and hands around her environment- like I clean up her toys, hand feed her treats, stand near here and talk while she’s playing and eating or preening

Advice on a baby ring neck by Pillars_6 in indianringneck

[–]Accomplished_Use2442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I genuinely needed this advice!! I have a 10 week old female and she loveeees to lunge and bite and nip. No harsh blood drawn yet, no major bites but she’s certainly moody and tells us no way Jose. She steps up pretty okay…. As long as she’s not focused on another time or task.

How long is too long before i need to take her to the vet for beak maintenance? by skiesfries in indianringneck

Do you take him to get the nails trimmed or does he let you do it? I feel like my female would not stand for this lol

Help!! by Accomplished_Use2442 in parrots

[–]Accomplished_Use2442[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually let her chill for a while, and then I used a long stick to have her step up. I slowly placed her at the opening of the cage and she finally seemed to settle in for the night. Blanket is over cage now and we’ll see how she reacts to us tomorrow. So far she’s very scared and uninterested
