I appologize for the inconvineance, but I hope you have the time to help me, please, with a couple of questions about a few different subjects.

This question comes from the Google My Business community.

Unfortunately Google sets character limitations in the answer box and I felt compelled to provide a well rounded solution.

Thus you found your way to our excellent blog on nothing but pet birds and captive bird care.

good evening Mitch, we recently put up an outside aviary for our rescue Indian ring neck.

we do not have regular screening up because we were afraid it would keep out the UV Light.

should we use that because of bugs, bees and mosquitos?

We need help

I clearly have been remiss by not keeping everybody up with the lives of our six budgies.

Ever since we adopted the last two, Biscuit and Gravy, the dynamics have certainly once again changed in the cage environment.

Putting things in perspective there are only two males, Jam and Eggs, the other four are females.

A patient of mine highly recommended you. I’ve watched some of the biting videos but you see I took in a rescue sun conure. We believe it’s male. It humps everything right now.

His wings are not clipped mind you and I’m not against doing it if it will help.

My issue is not only is he hand shy but also a biter really bad.

We believe he is 4-5yo.

Where should I start and how?

Were not going to start with bird bites because we’ll be talking about several first-aid challenges you may face having a bird or two in your home for several decades.

Everyone likes to think of themselves as being prepared for disaster and certainly life’s cuts and scrapes.

I’ve personally sutured a dog in a garage (after 5 minutes of training by my vet) 🙂

Indian Ringneck Love Brings Ringneck Problems

Indian ringnecks are marvelous birds and I’ve had the great fortune to live with the species in two different households.

They’re not big birds they weigh an average of 115 g about the body size of a Senegal or a fat cockatiel but the long tail gives the impression that it’s a much larger bird.

The overall length of the bird must be taken into consideration when choosing the right birdcage and especially the travel carrier.

They can be quite tame and are a relatively good talker.

Below you will find three curated questions about Indian ringnecks that found us one way or another and we felt sharing solutions would be helpful.
