Re: Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

Quick update! She is doing really well, she is now out of her cage at least once a day and always goes back inside when she feels over stimulated, which is good news! Her cage is her safe place, yay! Found more yummy foods that she likes, and we are still at the taking treats by hand step... I accid...

Re: Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

Thank you, Will try those tips. I'll see how she does with the treats inside when she's peckish.

And yes, we do not use our living room in the evening anymore, because it's the birds' bedtime :) They definitely wrap you around their little wings ;)

Re: Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

Yes I love that link, it has helped a lot!

I just studied foraging and options that I can make for her, so I will be working on that. I've been collecting egg cartons and paper strips... Will have to see about seed pods and grass!

Re: Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

Just looked up Feather Up too and will try it... Once she is more comfortable with me I'll try making her the felt collars I've seen on here, but I'd rather not traumatize her yet with another contraption. Or would some of you recommend I try it now that she's already dealing with changes and let he...

Re: Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

Thank you so much everyone! She was luckily seen by a vet already before I had her, so I know she is ok on that level. Yes I agree about the ladder, I stopped almost immediately after introducing her to it. She just wasn't quite ready for it yet. She has no problem with me holding it outside of the ...

Re: Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

And as far as reading, that's all I've been doing since getting her :) It's why I've taken a really slow approach with her and why (I think) we have a lot of progress and she is becoming a happy girl.... I guess I was hoping for some personal accounts/help. I can read all I want, watch all the youtu...

Re: Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

Oh yes, that was all done! No ring on leg at time of finding. I'm only a foster for a Parrot Rescue in my area. She was too stressed at the rescue because of all the big parrots there, so I was asked to take her on until they could find her an adoptive home. I just know that this would be a difficul...

Fostering Indian RingNeck Found on Streets.

I'm currently fostering a gorgeous Indian Ring Neck that was found on the street. We believe it's a she although she has plucked most of her body feathers, and has only her wings, head, back and tail feathers intact, anything on her neck/belly is gone and she sometimes even reaches to the top of her...
