Cold Feet

[birdsarebeautiful]

Hi,
I am a new indian ringneck owner and my ringneck has much colder feet than normal, she is acting perfectly normal though, I was wondering if this is strange and what should do to keep her warm
Thanks

If her feet are cold to her, she will sit on them or tuck them up against her body for warmth. For the most part she should self-regulate. In fact, they use their feet to regulate their temperature in general according to these sites:

If she is actually cold, she would be fluffed up all the time and might look as if she were 'shivering'.
