Aggression
Chiquita
Aggression and biting is very common with Indian Ringnecks. Biting usually happens during puberty, 2 years of age.
The best way to deal with this situation is to train your bird with patience and kindness.
When are they biting? Is it in the morning when you’re playing with them? Is it when you wear your orange and green sweater?
Begin to pay attention to any patterns of aggression and they will likely give you strong clues to why your Indian Ringneck is biting.
Modify the situation as much as you can and always spend time training your Indian Ringneck. There is no better solution to biting and aggressive behavior than training.
Curing The Problem
Parrots have a different relationship with every family member and each person in the family needs to eventually take part in the training. In the beginning, assign training the bird to a single assertive individual. Later, sit together and pass the parrot back and forth between family members. Do this as far away from the cage as possible.
Set Regularly Scheduled Training Times
Parrots are creatures of habit. They are most comfortable when events occur in a predictable manner at the same time every day. So set a routine with your parrot that does not differ from day to day. Parrots are most alert in the early morning and in the evening. So set your training sessions at those times. Training sessions should last fifteen to thirty minutes. Make the sessions longer for aggressive birds and shorter for fearful birds.
