Hi! I'm new here!!!

Post by triggerbug »

Hello guys and gals,

Having recently purchased a ringneck parrot of my own I have been looking at this forum for weeks, gaining so much great advice that i finally decided to become a part of it myself :) My name is Tracy and I'm from the beautiful island of Barbados. My feathered friend is Jojo, a handsome young ringneck male. This is the first time I have owned a bird like this. I have had two lovebirds in the past that were just a joy. So I decided to go a bit bigger this time and just have him. I'm sure I'm going to come back here regularly and participate in discussions. So just saying Howdy! and glad to be here!! :)

I'm new here as well and have 3 breeding pairs and one tame one, I am hoping to get a blue male soon handraised as my pet :) what colours yours? Welcome and hope you enjoy this group as much as me :) it's a great joy to learn all about these birds! The 3 breeding pairs I have are: 1) pastel violet lacewing cock x skyblue hen 2)indigo violet hen x indigo violet cock 3)blue cock x dark blue hen (not sure what she is, she is darker than the normal blue and lighter than the violet) :) have fun with your new feathered friend

Hi! Great to meet you CMG! Mine is a green ringneck, not as exotic in the colouring. Kudos for the breeding! I could only imagine how much work goes into that. I just sat for a whole hour trying to get my guy to take millet from my hand and it finally happened, i was overjoyed!

Hahah they take convincing but mine eats it because so does his cage mate a whiteface pied cockatiel! I just love to watch and talk to them, my ringneck is only semi tame but just as interesting! :D

Hi triggerbug, welcome. I also have a green now and can't think of any other colour at the moment. One day i'll buy my Kiwi a friend but not sure on the colour. I think i'll just take a look at few birds and take the one that is meant for me. My first one was a buttercup ringneck, yellow. Good luck and many happy days with your baby.

How old is yours? and is he handreared?

Ash
