Green Ringneck Parakeet

Hand-Reared Indian Ringneck Parakeet

The Indian ringneck parakeet is a very popular pet. It is a very social bird and can become an excellent companion for the entire family. These birds love to talk and enjoy a good challenge, which makes training a ton of fun.

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 over 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.

Ringnecks are available in shades ranging from bright yellows, greens, and blues, to albinos, cinnamons, and lutinos. Though the colour mutations are common, the typical colouring of this species is bright lime green with blue tail feathers and yellow under the wings.
