The Indian ringneck parakeet is a very beautiful bird as well as a popular pet. It may not be right for everyone, since it requires a lot of attention and care, but it is a very social bird and can become an excellent companion for the entire family.
The typical (Natural Wild Type) coloring of this species is bright lime green with blue tail feathers and yellow under the wings. These birds love to talk and enjoy a good challenge, which makes training a ton of fun.
Although the Indian ringneck has something of a reputation for being nippy and hard to train, it is mostly undeserved. Since they are so smart, ringnecks get bored very quickly and will often resort to chewing and other destructive behavior if they feel neglected.
They also go through a bluffing stage during adolescence that is difficult for some owners to manage. This stage comes with slight aggression, but the phase lasts only a few weeks or months.
Generally, ringnecks handled often and adequately cared for have sweet, charming personalities. Their voice is almost comical, as it is very high-pitched yet soft. You will also notice that they're great at alerting you to danger, a wild instinct that is accompanied by loud calls.
The Indian ringneck is one of the best talking birds among the domestic species. They can typically start speaking between 8 months and 1 year old, and they can learn more than 200 words. The bird can range from an average speaking level to yelling or screeching, but they are more generally known for their intelligence and quick learning when it comes to speech.
