Look at what Y gave me!!! He talks, and screeches. He's an Australian Parakeet. So much fun!

Baby Blue Blue, awesome, that's not nice Blue, Don't bite bird, my name is Gowah (I think)I can really understand the my name is, but Gowah, Miss Gowa, or something close. Oh, he whispers, be quiet now Blue; he whistles, screams, clicks, and makes kissing noises at my male neighbor. I, too, would make kissing noises at my neighbor....hahaha. If you give Blue something he doesn't want he'll take it and fling it to the ground, then read me off, with just noise clicks and no words. But he gets mad and will totally turn his back on me. He's a crack up....at least to me
He came with a lifetime supply of food and the cage. I made out like a bandit! He's really affectionate, I am hoping to hand tame him. He's still a baby.

That is an Indian ring neck. Not from Australia. Just thought you'd like to know...

Very nice birds. Congrats. Looks like a healthy little one.
OMG! I had the totally wrong information! Thanks Tom, I lost my computer thing so I couldn't research him. Home now and obviously computer is working. I really appreciate you correcting me. I want to hand tame him and make a nice companion. It really helps to know his correct species. I'm glad you knew.

Yes, a very pretty mature male ringneck. They don't usually develop the ring around the neck until about a year old, so he might be young but would not be considered a baby. They can be quite the talkers!

Well, he liked me at Y's house, but now he calls me over to him, then turns his back on me. I hope it's just a period of adjustment. I worry about him.

I'm sure he will be ok. They do go through an adjustment period, but it should be temporary. How long have you had him?

About 24 hrs. He was so affectionate to me at Y's, now he'll call me, and when I go to him he starts mumbling and turns his back on me. He hates me! And I'm worried about him. He is eating tho.

Yeah he's still adjusting, that can take several weeks. Try not to worry...if he's eating that's an excellent sign

very pretty bird.

i grew up with a umbrella macaw in the house he was very smart but he was a jerk in the sense he'd tell on us kids about stuff. like i remember once my mom told my brother to vacuum and my brother said to me out loud i'm just going to lie and say i did it.

all day until my parent's got home ozzy kept repeating "im just going to lie and say i did it" until mom asked about it. he'd laugh at you for getting in trouble to or falling

we had to rehome him when i was older and we were all home less and less because he'd cry like a baby when left alone unless he had tv with cartoon's on, made a couple people call the cops thinking we left a baby home alone

I'm kinda wondering if they are smarter than us, and they just play us. Blue calls me, until I go to the cage, then he turns his back on me, and laughs under his breath. I'm going to buy him some chew toys and a swing tomorrow, maybe I can make his cage more comfy for him.

i've heard of birds that are smarter then the average person lol look up a parrot named Alex. he died after checking out healthy from a vet a week or two earlier he was a bird in a scientific study to see how smart he was his last words to his handler as they were leaving the night before were " you be good, see you tomorrow. i love you"

he was said to be able to carry on intelligent conversations with people
