This bird is perfect for breeding (he hasn't bred yet but is reaching the ideal age) or as a pet. He’s still young, which means he can be tamed with ease, and with the right attention, he has great potential for talking and learning tricks.

Indian Ringnecks are known for their intelligence, talking ability, and playful nature. This bird has had regular interaction and is used to noise and people, which makes him a great candidate for taming, training, or breeding.
🦜 Indian Ringneck Parrot – Background, Lifespan
📜 Background & History
The Indian Ringneck Parrot (also known as the Indian Ringneck Parakeet or Psittacula krameri) is native to India, Sri Lanka, and parts of Africa. In the wild, they live in wooded areas, farms, and even urban regions, adapting well to different environments.
They’ve been kept as pets for centuries, even appearing in ancient Indian and Roman history. Ringnecks are part of the parakeet family, known for their long tails and slender bodies.
They became especially popular in aviculture due to:
-
Their vivid colors (most commonly green, but also available in blue, yellow, white, and more)
-
Their intelligence and ability to mimic speech
-
Their striking black or rose-colored "ring" around the neck (appearing more clearly in males from around 12–18 months)
⏳ How Long Do They Live?
-
In captivity (with proper care): 20 to 30 years, sometimes even longer
-
In the wild: Usually less, due to predators and environmental factors
A Ringneck is a long-term commitment, much like a dog or cat — often living with a family for decades.
