Indian Ringneck cage and daily life
Because of the long tail, give a tall cage at least 24 x 24 x 36 inches (60 x 60 x 90 cm) or larger, with bar spacing about 1/2-5/8 inch, plus 2-3 hours out of the cage. Provide chew toys and climbing space. Keep away from kitchens (Teflon/PTFE fumes are fatal) and cover for 10-12 hours of sleep.
Common mistakes with Indian Ringneck Parakeets
Top mistakes are panicking and punishing the bird during the adolescent 'bluffing' phase, feeding seed-heavy diets that cause fatty liver, and exposing them to nonstick fumes or toxic foods. Assuming they are cuddly companions like a cockatiel also sets owners up for disappointment.
