My name is glenn and I live in what's left of New Orleans, Louisiana. My wife was with a crew of helpers from our church and they found an abandoned ring neck in a house whose owner was washed away by Katrina. It's really sad.
The animal shelters here are just over run with animals so we brought it home. He doesn't seem to have any physical damage. He was in the house alone since Katrina hit about 4 weeks ago. He does eat so that's good.
I have a lot of pets including mini- pigs and I grew up on a farm but this is my 1st experience with a bird. This guy is really, really NOISY!
he screams a lot in bird language I'm worried that he's in a lot of distress. Is there a way that I can quiet him down a little without keeping him covered. He's been through a lot, we all have. We are going to keep him though. Any info on behavior would be great. I'll be getting a crash course on parrots later this week.
