Gigi bird

Hey everyone. I am so, so happy to have found this site! My hubby and I have recently adopted a 7 year old Indian ringneck with a sad past. He was hand raised and sold to what was supposed to be a loving home. He was quickly sold again to a breeder who hated birds, so for around 3 or 4 years he was kept in a basement with other birds and was fed and watered every second day or so and was only handled at breeding time. Then the owner's Siamese cat got into the basement and killed all the birds except for Gigi who escaped into the rafters of the basement. At this point the original owner/breeder found this out and took him back. She has tried to adopt him out a couple of times, but he was always returned for behavior problems. And now we have Gigi. I will be posting lots of questions as you can well imagine our Gigi bird has a few issues including slightly autistic behavior. I look forward to meeting you all and learning about all your wonderful ringnecks.
