Hey Jeanette Ringnecks go through a bluffing stage, they ar just testing to what they can or can't do, With my h/r ringneck, if I go to get her out and she wants to bite, i tell her no in a firm voice and persist on what I was doing. Then she usuallly does what I want, The whole time out in the cage think, well i think, it actually teaches them that if they bite they don't have to be handled. Ringnecks can get very aggressive when not handled for long periods of time. The yellow ringnecks are not hard to get. When getting your ringneck out try using the back of your hand rather than your finger, so when they do bite,it does not hurt as much. There is a web site just for ringnecks, i learnt alot from them www.indianringneck.com

when useing the time out in the cage method it works best if you have a seperate smaller cage that is used for time out only, instead of their normal cage. The problem with using their regular cage is that they may learn to bit if they want to go back to their cage or they may associate their cage with being punished, either way is not going to acheive the desired result. the time out cage should be small and plain with only a perch and water bowl, the idea is that they would rather be out and behave than go in the" naughty corner".Of course if your bird is really not wanting to be with you, at that particular moment,you should respect that, we all want to be left alone at times and birds are no different.
