Friends of my ringneck parrot



I have some small wooden birds at home. With those some times, I use them, to dodge tweety : )
Some times tweety when gets over my hand it will not get down easily.
Some times it will get down very soon, some times it will not get down Immediately.
So for making her go back to her place, I will place few wooden birds at her place near her food: )
Tweety does not like any birds to go near her chair and her place. I saw her full form anger when I brought my friends parrot home…
So if I keep any wooden birds. It will walk down my hand and try to attack the wooden bird. Tweety slowly started realizing about the wooden bird , And stopped responding to it….
I thought of buying a pair, for Tweety from the bird shop. I was not able to get young ringneck parrot in shops : (
Tweety never felt uncomfortable being alone at home. It always like to go out for bird watch. So when ever I take tweety to the terrace it will be very happy. So I thought of getting some good, friends for tweety. I first thought about cocktails but they are bigger in size than my young ringneck parrot. So I thought about cute little budgies,which will be the best choice for my tweety. Tweety had good quality of making friends easily.
Except crows all the birds which comes near home are my tweetys friends. It has even, squirrel friends : ).

Ringneck parrot thought process


Ringneck parrots are clever parrots. They have good thinking process.
My tweety always like to go out to the terrace, Whether it’s a day or night, it likes to stay out for some time. If its night time it likes to go to terrace only if the light is switched on.
Some times when the climate is cold I will rather switch off the light to avoid going out. I could not dodge tweety for a long time by avoiding switching on the light.
Usually tweety will stand on my hand and bend its head towards the direction it want to go : ) we should take her as per her move. If we don’t take her, she will start making loud calls.
So I always take her where ever she likes to go.
One day I was surprised to see, tweetys behavior. As usual I took her from my room to the hall without taking her to terrace. It suddenly turned her face and bend towards the switch : ). That to exactly on the terrace light switch. I could not believe my eyes ..
It exactly touched her beak on the terrace lighting switch. I took her off from the switch and I switched on the switch by myself. Once I on the switch, immediately it turned towards the terrace : ) and started bending towards the terrace with slow whispering
sound : ) . i took her out to terrace finally..
Tweety, my youngest ringneck parrot learnt how to switch on the light : )
From that day, if it likes to go out at night it will try to touch its beak on the light switch to put the light on…
