I am not real sure of type yet.. but VERY sweet bird..




I did not intend to let on shoulder by any means today.. but when got to step up.. ran straight to shoulder.. so took advantage of the opportunity and had a pic taken..



but have alot to do with this bird... as will see with the following pics.. of the contitions has been living in for the past year.. and she was proud of how she had cared for him..








For some strange reason.. decided to go ahead and buy toys.. he definatly needed some.. have already thrown away one of the plastic ropes in cage and is already playing with the new ones have already put in cage..



the seed mix was feed...



Dumped from dish and gave fresh organic chopped green apple and some of my small hoolkbill with saflower seed mix (by sunseed) that I feed the tiels..



has been happily chowing down on both... the apple is in a seperate dish of course..

gave fresh water with ACV in it..

wondering if adding mineral bolck and beak conditioner blocks would be too much of a change to day or not.. but is talking and squeaking at me while I am at computer... so seams to be settling in well..

Will work on trying to give a bath tomorrow... feathers are sticky... and smells funky...

clicking at me now.. and saying "pretty bird"....

I have already gone out and cut dogwood branches for new perchs.. to replace the PVC ones.... have wood soaking in bleach water right now.. then will scrub again.. triple rinse and put in oven tonight.. perchs will be replaced tomorrow AM..


I will spare you the closer pics.. of how nasty and bad the paint in peeling all over the cage and stand today.. have pressure washer that am borrowing to clean the cage with.. and am going to even scrub with wire brush.. to try and get what loose paint I can off...

I am already starting to cage hunt... cause defintely need a new cage for this bird..

But is now in forever home.. or at least for as long as I am breathing..

I'm confused...Is this your RN?

Looks like an IRN to me--what a doll! Magellan is velcroed to my shoulder whenever she has a chance (except for when I have on those nasty jackets with shoulder pads that don't have a foothold). You two will have great times together!!

I thought that was an Alexandrian Ringneck?

yeah he is....I am losing my marbles (maybe already did!).

YES.....

Is now..

Got him today.. was asked if wanted a parrot.. green ringneck.. for $200 with cage and play stand yesterday afternoon.. so scrounged some $ and.
Shamrock was delivered with cage today.. they could not fit stand in also...

The orginal owner died just over a year ago and had named him Shamrock.. and the new owner was tired of caring for.. so paid the money with delivery of bird..

She was already talking about going to town and partying of the night..
asked if she paid me $ 60 would babysit her 3 brats for the night.. NOT..

They had called him Buzz.. cause if you got him buzzed on beer or "smoke" ... he would shut up.......

Just wanted these people out of my house.. after the second time they hit the side of cage.. to shut the bird up..

This bird just got a whole different life.. and does step up nicely.. since second time I asked.. so has NOT been treated like this whole life...

I have been told by 8 people so far.. that have ringnecks.. that Shamrock is an Alexandriane...

I an not that worried about what type.. except for diet, care and toys.. is my green beastie now.. kiss.. kiss...

He is very lucky to have you! Poor baby
I do believe he is a male Alexandrian, he is a very gorgeous little man too

Suz, I am so happy for both of you. Shamrock is stunning and is one lucky bird to be in your loving care now. Thank you so much for taking him/her in.

glad he found you..... ..... looks right at home on your shoulder.....

Oh, what a lucky bird. You have such a loving heart to give this guy a new home. Congratulations. I wish you both the very very best!!!! and I'm looking foward to hearing stories and seeing pics of his progress as time goes on...
