Thanks for the replies. I am assuming it will take a couple of months to get it looking the way I want it to. I want to make sure I research safe plants etc before putting anything in there. We will be taking the entire front of the shed off and replacing it with aviary mesh so there will be plenty ...

Hi Everyone, My husband and I are about to convert an old backyard shed into a "natural" bird aviary. It will have a pond and lots of trees etc in it and we are hoping to get it looking as natural as we can. My question is, if we don't plan on breeding our ringnecks can they live successfu...

How did you go about adopting a parrot?
I have looked on the parrot society's facebook page but all of the birds are from late 2012 - early 2013 by the looks of things.
Id love to offer another parrot a home!

Hi, I wanted to re-introduce myself as I have not been on here for a long time. (I lost my babies due to an unfortunate escape) I have 3 (soon to be 4) beautiful IR babies in an aviary. My boys/girls are semi tame but are mostly from homes where they haven't had a lot of time spent with them. I have...

i picked up my new baby ringneck yesterday as the breeder told me he was ready to go and only on 1 feed a day. i took him for his vet check and the vet says he would be lucky to be 6 weeks and is still needing to be fed 3 -4 times daily. I contacted the breeder and she wants nothing more to do with ...

Hi PinkDevil They are beautiful and arnt they such characters!!! I just "inherited" a 3 year old handraised lorikeet as his owner ( one of my work colleagues ) could no longer provide him with enough attention. He is lovely and full of personality ( although he has taught harrison my ringn...

i love your lovebirds!!!!

i have a pied pair and a masked pair.......dont you just love their chatter????

You have so many wonderful birds im jelous

Hey guys,

Ellie his hammock is called a "Happy Hut" don't know if you have ever seen them but they are just a long triangular hammock..... the first time he did it he scared me half to death ( he dangles his head out the end ) he just looked totally limp. Now its a daily habit!!!

i did my grocery shopping today and as i was unpacking the tubs of fruit for the birds i could here this strange noise, it was as if someone was talking to me extremely quickly with no gaps between words. i turned around to look at Harrisons cage and he was laying inside his hammock on his back watc...

GOOD NEWS!!!!!! i moved Harrisons cage yesterday and didnt get him out to get used to it! Today i opened his cage door and let him come out himself. He was out for about 5 minutes and i was waiting for the dreaded bites BUT.........10mins went by, then 15, then 20 and not a single nip!! He was out f...

thanks for all the help guys.......he has nearly got the landing down so wing clipping wont be to far away but as i said i want to see him land properly a good few times before i clip. im going to move his cage to a different spot in the house just to change it up a bit and maybe take him out of his...

Ellie he comes out of his cage fine but after about 5 mins he starts to grab anything thats infront of him ( mainly my hands ) when i put him on his stand he flies back over to me and bites my neck.......its like he is trying to attack me, if i put my hands near him his eyes pin and he throws himsel...

thank you,
i will try the gloves and a new distraction toy ( his old one is torn to shreds).
How long did the bluffing stage last with your ringneck???
i realise every bird is different just curious

hi guys, Well Harrison is about 3.5 months old now and Bluffing really badly. He has bitten me so hard i needed stitches on 2 seperate occasions!!! i know im supposed to ignore the behaviour but it is REALLY hard when he is tearing my skin to pieces. He is also attacking anything that is in front of...

Well everyone Harrison has arrived :) He is a skyblue and is 10 weeks old, he is still doing his little baby squeals (they are so cute). He is settling in well and LOVES his little bed made out of a shoe box and a tea towel on the bottom of his cage!!!! AWWWWWWWW im in love :D will post pics as soon...

His breeder is getting him used to it right now, i get to pick him up in 5 days, im counting down

yea i would just call him harrison i think

Im picking up my blue indian ringneck in a week and am trying to find a name for him.

So far im thinking Harrison Ford for Indiana Jones / Indian Ringneck.

What do you guys think?????
Any suggestions would be great.

Unfortuntely there seems to be a shortage of Ringnecks in my area but thankfully no-one here is just letting them go, I have only ever seen one that was in the wild. If I was ever to breed ringnecks I would breed for quality not quantity and would only buy from a reputable breeder. I've seen all to ...

Couldn't agree with you more Poppy!! I think I have multiple pet syndrome, on top of The birds I've also got: * Boston ( beagle ) * Tyson ( lab x ) * Jedda ( boxer x ) * Lexi ( RSPCA cat ) Thank goodness I have a decent block of land For them all to play on!!! And that the cat loves birds :) My beag...

i Pinkdevil I am from Newcastle, Ive spoken to a few "breeders" about ringnecks but a few of them have just had the birds for money not for the love of the bird which is very sad and extremely aggrevating :evil: I am so glad everyone on here seem to love their birds so much and im loving l...

The breeder says she will be spending lots of time with them but she offered to sell one to me now and i can raise it myself. The breeder wasnt concerened that ive never handreared a baby bird before. I think it may be best that i keep looking as some of the things this breeder has said sounds like ...

Ellie i agree, they are all gorgeous!

Cant wait to get mine

Thanks so much guys!!!!

Julie my email is roxy_billabong_13@hotmail.com
Could you email me with some details about the birds?

I have found a breeder who says she has one but she wont take him from the nest until he is 5 weeks and im worried that this is to late?

Thanks again

Hi guys,

Ive found myself a blue lacewing ringneck but it is 4.5 weeks old and hasn't been taken from the nest yet. Will this bird still be friendly? The breeder says she won't take him until it's 5 weeks old.
What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Amanda

i want the daughter

I cant wait :) I currently have: * Norbit (Cockatiel) * Homer & Marge (Black masked lovebirds) * Jesse and Jane and Elmo (peach faced Lovebirds) * Curly and Courtney ( Lutino fishers lovebirds ) * and Georgie who is still looking for her forever home (Red collar lorikeet) Norbit lives inside and...

That is soooo sad, i work for a pet store and there is NO WAY we would treat a bird like that!!!! We don't put ridiculous prices on our birds and the hand raised ones are handled EVERY day!! and they also have a few play gyms that they are able to hang out on!! I am an avid Bird lover and would hate...

AWWWWW i really love the second one he is so pretty,
is he a blue lacewing?

Hi Guys, Im new to the site and am hoping im putting this in the right section. Im looking for a handraised IRN, i would prefer either: * Blue lacewing (with the white coloured head?) * Blue * Lutino * Albino or white Sex doesnt bother me as long as the bird is friendly. Does anyone know where i cou...
