Re: Missing feathers

I have to wait until I'm on my laptop. But he has a patch under his beak missing which I don't think he plucked. And the breeder said it was due to the formula as all his brothers and sisters were fine and it will grow back in a month.

Re: Hello from Australia

Thank you both. He started eating fruit but he hasn't been interested in venturing over to the other side of his cage to drink water or eat seeds but he will take them if I give them to him. I do have a photo but will have to post more first. He also has a slight bald patch under his chin, is that n...

Hello from Australia

Hi, today I got my first baby indian ringneck. He has just been fully weaned last week. I brought him home and put him in his cage, but he seems really shy and quiet. I know he needs to be settled in, but I'm hoping he will start eating when he is hungry. Because I picked him up late he was falling ...
