I'm sure she would be fine here. I just dont want to mess up the 2 months of hard work to finally get her to trust me and let me love her. By leaving her here.

She is kinda to heavy to sit on my finger. Usually when Honey sticks her tail up towards the water, she is trying to clean her undersi...

Cheryl I bought my ringneck at a pet store also. The guy told me she was about a year and a half come to find out she was 3. It took over 2 months to get her to let me even hold her. I found the breeder and he said to get onto the floor with her and work with her there. He told me they are very domi...

its easy for me to ignore the screaming but my husband and son think that by yelling at her to be quiet, she will. So to avoid all the screaming and yelling I end up going and getting her. Bad thing to do huh?!

Hello....

Hello everyone,
I am so glad I found this site. I have already tried a few of the suggestions I read on here and I cant believe how they have worked. I also found out about my INR's personality and what I should sorta expect from her. Thanks so much everyone......
