Re: New - need help with my ringneck.

I just don't know anymore. I've now started blaming myself for so many things and that I could of given him so much more attention than I did and could of spent so much more time with him. I feel bad when I've got mad at him when he has screamed too much or when I have scared him. I'm just not used ...

Re: New - need help with my ringneck.

I feel weird. Never before when a pet of mine has passed on have I cried so little, but for weeks. I don't know what this is, but maybe it's because I went out with a friend on a walk to get my thoughts to be somewhere else. Maybe I feel better now that I know that he has been burried and I've convi...

Tuti

For my beautiful little Tuti, You passed on to the rainbow bridge today. It is exactly 11:11 am while I'm writing this and I already miss you so much. Please know that I loved you dearly and will always miss you and remember you in my heart. I will try not to cry, because I know you would not have w...

Re: New - need help with my ringneck.

I considered that aswell, but there is no need for it anymore. He was overall weak and didn't eat at all, just lied at the bottom of the cage with his feathers fluffed up. Although I but a warm water bottle in there, moved him near the radiator and lied a bit of warm scarf on him as well as but a to...

Re: New - need help with my ringneck.

Hello everyone! Just here to say that Tuti's condition has gotten really bad. He was doing fine until yesterday night. Some time at night he got really restless and after 3 hours or so fell of his perch. Mum came to wake me up to see what was going on. Tuti was sitting at the bottom of the cage. So ...

Hi y'all. Tuti's doing fine. Well he's pretty settled in with his new cage although toys still don't interest him at all. The pine cone I put in his cage has remained untouched and he doesn't climb the rope :P. He does dance like he always has and his foot is still the same, though it doesn't bother...

Same as always. He looks as if he hates everyone. Whenever we go near him he just tries to attack, threatening us with his beak. If we go even nearer, he flees until we leave him alone. When I shove him out of the cage, (that's the only way, he never comes out when we leave the cage open or bribe hi...

False alarm. Neither Tuti's foot or behavior are improving at all. I THOUGHT they were, so I took him out today and put him on the floor to see how he uses the foot. Of course he acted like he always does, I had to try so many times to get him out of the cage and when I put him on the floor, the toe...

Well Tuti's eye seems to be okay now. But I think she hurt it when holding him and examining him. She held his head in a towel and I think she didn't do it properly. The foot is slowly improving, but the little toe is still the same. I guess as long as he's happy with his life and it doesn't cause h...

The vet didn't do anything. She couldn't put elastic around the little toe because it bent back to the wrong position. The little toe and foot is going to stay as it is. Though the other toes might get better if he moves around on new perches. The vet said she doesn't know what to do. Estonian vets ...

Yeah, we have put some branches in there, but not exactly as for walking on, but more for chewing and such. Next month when we get a bigger cage, I will be sure to try and get some more to put in there. Mum bought him quite a few toys today. But he doesn't seem to be interested in the paper balls, t...

First of all, I do love my bird. A LOT. I love birds in general. It's just that when I got him, I never knew he needed a bigger cage. My grandmother bought him for me for my 8th birthday and he has been with me for nearly 9 years now. It is not about not wanting to help him. It's the exact opposite!...

New - need help with my ringneck.

My bird is a Indian ringneck, male, around 13 years of age. Got him when he was 4. He has ALWAYS been afraid of people ever since we got him, even me and he will not at any circumstances get near anyone. He used to get out of his cage, when we opened it but later he didn't anymore. So after a while ...
