Tweetys New Ringneck parrot friend


My new ringneck parrot was very calm and very play full. It will sit in one place only during its sleeping time.
It will walk to and fro over the wooden rod. Since it’s a wild ringneck parrot. It took only grains. It did not have any other fruits or vegetables.
It restricted its diet only with grains for one month.
Then it slowly started having fruits also. It likes guava fruit very much. If we keep any fruit. It will fly down and take the fruit to its place and slowly have it. It likes to chew the guava seeds very much. Tweety was afraid of going near the new ringneck parrot.
When it first saw the adult ringneck parrot, It went near and slowly bitted the tail feather tip and ran away from the parrot : ). I had a very less hope that both of them will become friends.. I saw lots of changes in tweetys characteristics, after the new ringneck parrot arrival. That gave me a great relief...

New cage for my ringneck parrots



I bought the male ringneck parrot and to him home with a small temporary cage.
I did not have any cage at home when I bought him. So I planned to buy a cage specially for the wild parrot. I kept the new comer in the tweetys room with the small cage with fruits and a water bowl, for some time. Ringneck had some little amount of water and it poured out all the water from the water bowl. Tweety jumped from his chair, and started going around the cage : )
She was staring at the new ringneck parrots feather and slowly it went near the cage and bitted its tail feather. The new ringneck was fearing very much and started screaming and attacking tweety. Then tweety started climbing over the cage and going around the cage. I took tweety in my hand and went out of that room and kept her in other room, for some time. Next task is to buying a big cage for the new comer. I searched few shops for a decent sized cage. I found a shop finally with a big cages.. I bought one cage with 5 feet height and 3 feet width. I could not fit it inside my cars boot. So I had to hire a small van
to bring the cage to my home. i left the new ringneck parrot inside the new cage, it was able to fly inside the cage properly…
Tweety started climbing around the new cage for some time. And it stared sleeping over the cage…

Parrot sales in rural market


Some times I used to go and buy fishes from whole sale market, which is located outside the city.
I came across a person who was selling ringneck parrots in platform. It was a very difficult to see those birds. He was having a flat closed jute wired round close container with a small hole on the center of the container. I saw, almost 15 to 20 ringneck parrots in that container : (.
The worst thing added to it is. while selling the birds he plucks few of the main flight feathers of the birds and had over the birds to the people who are buying :’(.
Every Sunday morning he will come for 30 min and sell all the birds and go.
I went closer to the ringneck parrots. All the parrots are male parrots. They are all wild birds caught as a lot : (. All are grown up adult parrots. Most of them had the blue ring below the orange neck ring. I saw for the first time ringneck parrots with blue ring below the orange ring.

For me these bird catchers are heartless persons. They never know the value of the birds.
Parrots are kind of birds that not only love thire family, it also show lots of love on other living beings. It shares the love with others more superior and stronger than humans.

My friend went and bought two ringneck immediately. He is having a pair of cock tail parrot with him. I was confused a lot, whether to buy any parrot or not. Since all are bigger one, I can’t even leave with my tweety. Even I don’t have cage at home … so I was breaking my head.
Finally I came to a conclusion to buy one ringneck parrot. if my younger ringneck is not able to go along with the new fellow. I thought of letting it go… I bought one midsized parrot without harming it. I decided to buy a big cage for the new ringneck. I planned to keep it in cage till my young ringneck was ready for flight and leave both of them together to outside world..
