How does a lutino ring-necked parakeet make its nest?

Lutino (not "Latino," that is a human ethnic group) ring-necked parakeets are not a species. Ring-necked parakeet can refer to any of several species in the genus Psittacula. A lutino is a bird that has a genetic mutation that has removed all of the bird's black pigment. They are yellow or white in places where the normal bird is green or blue. They will build their nests the same way as a normal colored bird. It's not possible to answer the question unless the exact species is known.

How long will it take for your parakeet to jump on your finger?

Usually about 24 hours. I open the cage door, wiggle it to make noise, and place my finger along the bottom of the opening. If he is ready to come out of the cage, he now jumps on my finger. The first 24 hours I allow the parakeet to spend a lot of time out of the cage and work with him. I keep placing my finger along the bottom of his belly and push up against his belly gently. If you do this enough times, he will catch on quickly. They usually love to sit on your shoulder after they get used to coming to your finger.

It depends it can leave them in a wheel chair not being able to do anything apart from breath! but you can die i think

Edit: Breaking someones neck will not always lead to death. Though it will lead to paralyzes of the body in specific areas depending on what part of the neck is broken. Also it can, and most often will lead to severe limitations to breathing like in Christopher Reeve's case.
