:shock: There wouldn't have to be laws like this if people looked after their pets properly. Unfortunately farmers do shoot native animals. I see it as selfish. There are ways of dealing with birds eating crops other than shooting them. Roos here are shot too. Theres even been culling! Funny how yo...

The only state I could find was NJ for IRN's but the Quaker is illegal in California, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wyoming, Kansas, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, because they are very prolific and make nests on power lines and destroy crops they are a very hardy bird that live in almost any climate. ...

Illegal?

I live in the US and know that Ringnecks are illegal to own in New Jersey... but does anyone know if they are anywhere else??

I love my girl.

So I just got a new Creamino Indian Ringneck (Lola).. well not really 'new' as I've known and interacted with her for months now. She was for sale at the pet shop I used to work at before it closed. She is six months old now and they never were able to sell her. So a few days ago the owner gave her ...

Have any of you tried a flight suit or harness? I'm just wondering. I got Nigel a harness so that I could take him outside and not have to worry about him... but he's not tame enough yet to put it on. So I don't think we'll be going outside any time soon.

I don't know that it's about being feminine. A lot of Americans don't sound very feminine, regardless of an accent. Personally I just think it's cool. Aussie, Brit, you name it... we want what we don't have. LOL

I sooo understand the not "stepping up" thing now, after getting a Ringneck. I thought, ah, it's not much bigger than a Cockatiel... it's not always the size that matters. My Nigey thinks he's king of the world when he's up on his playstand. :)
