Hi
My name is Fred O'Boyle 50 years old from Middlesbrough England.I am a new owner of Peppa my Lutino Ringneck.I saw her looking unhappy in a petshop whilst out shopping with my wife and when i got home i looked up Lutino Ringnecks on the internet (Including this site] and discussed with my wife about giving her a new home.I spoke to the pet shop owner {It was'nt one that i normally use] heinformed me that6 she was approx one year old.She had been kept in a cage that was far too small for her so when we decieded to take her home we purchased a large new cage for her.Things started great she soon seemed to pick up but a couple of days ago she started to fall from her perch i soon took het to the vets and the Vet informed me she was very ill with calcium deficiency but she would give me a supplement to add to her food or water.I was also told that she had had the condition for quite a while and that was why she would have been looking miserable.We dont know what the future holds for Peppa {my 3y old grandaughter christened her} but all we can do for her is to take things a day at a time and God willing she will get better.
Fred
P.S will post regular updates on how she's doing

Its sad how pet shops dont really car for there animals . but thanks to you peppa has a great home. I look forward to up dates on peppa and hope every update is a good update . hope peppa gets well

Welcome Fred.
Sounds like poor Peppa has had a bit of a struggle to life. Lucky for her, (and your family), you have given her a new home.
Hope things improve for Peppa quickly.You are already giving her a better quality of life, that will help with her recovery.
Best of luck.

Hi
Sad news, Peppa passed away this morning,she seemed to be picking up during the last couple of weeks but over the weekend she went downhill rapidly I did however get chance to hold her [without trying to bite me} as i gave her soome water.Anyhow she's in a good place and i had the chance to show her a little bit of kindness.She will be sadly missed.

Oh poor Peppa. Sorry for you all.

At least you were able to give Peppa a loving home for her last few weeks.

Hi - I'm sorry to hear about Peppa. It's lovely that you gave Peppa a nice home. Do you have any photos of Peppa? It would be lovely to see them.

Hi
Thanks for your kind messages she will be missed by us all.But seeing as i have a great big empty cage i shall buy another ringneck but this time i will buy from a reputable breeder she will never replace Peppa but we can give another bird a loving friendly home at least
Fred
