Hey guys this is my first time posting and I need some help. I have three ringnecks I've hand reared them and they are all 5 weeks now I let them out their cage every day and they usually just fly around or sit on me or up by my railing but now they are refusing to eat or they will eat a little bit when I feed them and then fly around again. All they want to do is fly and nothing else what can I do? Should I clip their wings?

No.

Feed them a half hour before you let them out. When they get hungry they will go back to the cage.

There is nothing happier than a flying bird. If you trim their wings they will change personalities.

Yep, what Liz said. Just make sure they have two different types of soft food offered twice fresh daily until they are adults and they will be OK.
