only went to get some sand and ended up buying a huge parrot cage and another addition. only i,m not sure what it is, i have a ring neck and this new one is huge in comparison, the lady in the shop said its a Rosella but there were two Rosella's in the aviary with it and they were much smaller with duller colours, it has a bright red head a red an blue body and mainly blue wings, its stunning to look at and stood out from all the other birds in the shop and there were hundreds! the woman in the store said its rare. any ideas?

well i,m now single. was told by my other half no more pets so last week when i spent nearly three hundred pounds on a cage food toys ect.. he wasent best pleased. that was last wed and yesterday at my local pet store i found and fell in love with bird number two, a gorgeous indian ringneck called monty, i promptly bought him with all the ideas that my other half would come round that i could put him in with my current bird and all would be sweet. my female diddent fancy him one bit and another cage loads of toys and a huge row later my fella gave me the choice, "him or the birds". he shouldent of done that!!!! so he,s now at his mums, and telling evryone i picked my birds over him! thats not completly true. and you know what? i dont miss him, not one bit. so maybe the birds have done me a favour!

i think you,r he is a she i have an identical Indian ring neck and she is female if she was a male she would have a red ring round her neck. my baby also had a savage wing clip which have taken weeks to heal, some people just don't think, i would advise that you try to keep stress to a minimum my bird took a very nasty turn for the worst a couple of weeks after we got her and we very nearly lost her. good luck, they are gorgeous birds i,m glad she has a good home now

it is rewarding having a mistreated bird, especially seeing her now compared to the shell she was when she first came. i wouldn't recommend it to a novice though, angel was my first bird and although i love her to bits i have had to learn so much in such a small amount of time its been very hard. she is petrified off men going ballistic if one so much as goes in the back garden, and she also self harms which is extremely expensive. she will never be a tame bird but considering what she,s been through i don't blame her. and after all she,s been through she loves kids singing to and sort of laughing when my two boys go near her, funny how she seems to realize that they are not men yet and that they are just little people. yeah its been well worth the effort and the money and hopefully she,ll be happy for the next 20+ years with us. and i promise i,m working on the pics lol

think i,v just resighned myself to the fact she,s "origional", she was badly treated by her last owner so maybe she,s just loving the new life she has. cant cover her coz she,s in the aivery outside she has a huge box but seems to prefer the outside. as for ignoring her i,m usually in bed when she starts as i work nights so she gets ignored anyway. at least she,s happy its took over two months before i heard a peep off her so, she must feel at home. guess i should be honoured!! lol

hi all sorry its been a while been soooo busy. still no camers so no pics as yet but def workin on it. birds are fine one thing though angel has now left the grape thing alone, but has took to screaming instead. when i say screaming i mean really high pitched screeching usually at seven in the morning, sky (rosella) can be quite loud but he do,sent scream, its whistling or doing his nee naw noise. is this normal for a ringneck? i,m sure the neihbours are going to get angry with her as its super loud. they are now in an aivery so i cant cover her at night. any ideas before the niehbours get her evicted lol ?

hi guys just an update on my two birds. i kept them seperate after the little light pecking but put them next to each other in their cages. they seemed to be comunicating so i managed to make a cage partition with chicken wire, (took me three hours). and they seem fine, angel my ringneck seems the more curious of the two she stays on the partition looking at my rosella. sky (rosella) is just all chilled out. think sky must of been hand reared coz he do,sent bite and he even took a peice of apple of my two year old through the bars of his cage, pretty cool as he only arrived on tue. there is one thing though my ringneck loves red grapes and since bieng partitioned off has took to sitting on them!!!. bless her she has even made a kind of nest out of sand and seeds, there is no way she could be pregnant. also she is picky on wich grapes she takes to her "nest", she will spend a good half hour going through the few grapes i give her daily and pick just one, she is really gentle with each turning it rubbing her head on it and talking to it. so far she has two (she eats the others). has anybody any clue on what she is doing?has anyone had the same thing?. also her wings were badly clipped when i got her evry time they started healing she would groom them and make them bleed, since the grape thing she seems to have forgot about them. what should i do? leave her with the grapes and try to switch them for fresh ones? though i,m sure she would know, i tried seperating her from sky and she screamed blue murder none stop till i put her back. i,m completly stuck dont know what to do for the best any ideas?

my ringneck is female, my rosella is male. the rosella is twice as big as the ringneck, i had them together most of the day then there was a little gentle pecking with the rosella being the agresor. i dont think it was serious but seperated them anyway. do you think i should just keep them on there own? i was worried about them getting lonely. my rosella is in a parrot cage my ringneck in whats sopposed to be a parakeet cage but to be honest i dont think its big enough for her, after all they diddent ask to be kept in a tiny cage compared to the vast space of the wild, the top opens and i can put a pirch on the lid but i may still end up buying a parrot cage for her (make the best of a bad job). i am having an aivery built but am having a kitchen extension currently so its going to be a couple of months at least.
