Hi there, my name is Marietjie, and the name of my beautiful light blue ringneck is Cheeky. I got him/her when he was only 6 weeks old - we are approaching 6 months now! And so far so good!

Cheeky is my first parakeet/parrot and I love it! So far he/she started mimicking me saying 'hm?' Usually when he is quiet, or babling I would say 'why are you so quiet Cheeky-boo, hmm?' or 'what are you telling me hmm Cheeky-boo?' - and that obviously made an impression on him/her?

He has quite a temper/is quite moody - some days I can barely put my hands in the cage to lift him out without being bitten, other days he can't wait for me to scratch his head and sitting with me.

I will post a pic as soon as possible!

Welcome Marietjie. Cheeky sounds very adorable. Don't worry, most birds seem to go through the leave me be stage. Just like us, they have their good and bad days. :)

Can't wait to see pics of Cheeky. Sounds like a lovely colour. So many colours in ringies, very hard to choose or stop at just one! :roll:
