Hi, my name is Mary. My husband and I own 5 large macaws. And one dog. I love the macaws and my husband and I have successfully home fed and raised our first clutch. They have gone to good homes. The macaws are actually my husbands birds, I do the photography and journaled the growth of our baby macaws. My hands are very arthritic and I would like to have a couple smaller birds that are easier for my fingers to handle. I have seen some beautiful photos of the INRs and some captivating videos. They just might be the birds for me.I'm interested in Indian RingNecks

Hallo Mary, welcome where are you?
Re: I'm interested in Indian RingNecks
Currently I am in the greater St Louis, Missouri USA area. We are in the process of building a home in Florida. Once we settle there I will get my little birds. It is going to be a huge process to take our flock back and forth a couple of times before we permanently settle in. So I won't add to any bird discomfort by adding more birds now. I'm in study birds mode.

Hello, Mary and welcome. You said because of your hands you'd like a smaller bird than a macaw. While IRNs are considerably much smaller than macaws, cockatiels might also be a viable option for you. Cockatiels can be just as vocal, make great companions, and are about half the size of a IRN. If you want a talker though, I'd recommend getting a male. Good luck to you!
