The most common behavior issue you’re likely to find in an Indian Ringneck is screaming. The reasons are often the same as any biting behavior. If your parakeet is screaming, the worst thing you can do is react to it.

Don’t throw water at them, don’t scream back and don’t give them what they want. If your Indian Parakeet is screaming because they want your attention, don’t give it to them. If they’re screaming because the dog just walked into the room, don’t chase the dog out.

The key here is to train them to perform an acceptable behavior in place of the screaming. If you react, you are instead training them to scream. The same holds true for any undesirable behavior including biting. Reacting only serves to reinforce the behavior.
