Greetings from NSW Australia!! :)
Hi, well I joined quite some time ago now and have only just introduced myself (yeah I know slacko ) Well you know how it is .
Anyway I am an "owner", if you could call it that more like slave , of 17 IRNs. Hmmm....I think I have caught the IRN bug!!!!!!!
My first introduction to an IRN was in a pet shop, I thought "they look cool". But I went home empty handed Then I was at a friends place when he & his wife showed me their bubbie ringies that they just removed from the nest for handraising. They did the mistake of letting me hold one of the bubs, and they didn't get it back LOL I took it home and had a crashed course in handraising. That poor bird had some tough love while I learn't what to do and not to do. But all worked out in the end. She is now a 16 month old happy little lutino vegemite kid names Jasper.
I then had a neighbour ask if I was interested in buying their IRNs as they were moving. So off I trot across the road where I spied a breeding pair of green ringies. So I handed over the cash and brought them home with the aviary. Then the same guy asked if I was interested in more as his MIL had some for sale. YEAH bring 'em over!! So I ended up buying a blue male. My intentions were to have a BF for Jasper but she didn't see the logic in it and I ended up putting him in a aviary on his own. Poor little fella looked oh so lonely so off I went to look for a sheila for him. I found a nice blue girl and they became friends straight away.
The I was "window shopping" (as us girls do ) and I found this "bargin" of 12 ringies and their 6 bank aviary. Well I had some sweet talkin to do but Boy Friend, bF mother & I set off on our 10 hr journey to collect my new feathery family additions.
And that is my introduction to Indian Ringnecks! lol
Oh yeah got a few other birds but that is another story
