Hello From NC

Post by countrygal_cc »

Hello everyone I am happy to find this site. I bought a Indian Ring-Necked Parrot yesterday. In all with the cage it cost me 375.00 and I used a credit card yes I do worry did I pay too much so I want to know is this a good bird to pay a lot for? I have had fun today my first day with cupcake a very sweet bird bright yellow. I have teached cupcake a trick already she will pick up my plastic ring when I tell her too and then I tell her drop it and she will drop it in my hand. I was tickled pink. Is there other tricks I can teach my bird if so please tell me how to do some more tricks. I saw a video of one bird waving and a pic on here of a bird laying on it's back how can you get your bird to lay on it's back. Need some trick tips anything will be great and my question is will my bird talk and how long will it take it to talk these birds seem to be a good bird and quiet when I tell my bird something I want it to learn do I just say one word. It's ok to give them fruits and vegs? My bird isnt that old just winned I know I spelled that wrong. Any good seed to give them?
Look forward to hearing from you guys. Misty

Welcome your baby looks gorgeous :D
Is that price in $ or £?
I dont know about tricks but some bird talk other may not but from what ive heard most of them pick up some words.
As for fruit and veg they are allowed most stuff but some is very bad possibly deadly http://indianringneck.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=3780 check out this link it will help you but if you are ever in doubt ask on here :D .

as for teaching them tricks the trick there is food rewards mine respond best to brocolli they love it!!!!!
ad apples but make sure you cut out all the seeds as they are quite toxic to birds
good luck & hope you enjoy this sight as much as i do!!!

Hi countrygal_cc & welcome :D

I checked out your photos of your new bub and s/he is just adorable. Reminds me of my Jasper when she was younger. :)

Sprouted seed is also very good for birds and they love it. You will probably find over time IRNs will tend to eat anything. I have noticed when they are young they seem a little unwilling to try new tasty food but once they are a bit older, try stopping them from eating everything in sight lol.

If you got the cage along with the bird for that price, it sounds about right, at least for the east coast. These birds are awsom, and well worth the money. I think they are even better than many of the more expensive parrots that you could find. they are playful, and sweet, and a lot smarter than people give them credit for. I have 5 of them, and they are so much fun.

That is a good price! I am paying $300 just for the bird because I have to ship him! I am in Southern NY and can't find IRNs for sale anywhere. I think you did great on the price!

Congrats and nice to meet you!
