I have rescued an Indian Ringneck who was abused and treated badly. I have taken him to the Vet and he claims he is healthy enough considering his previous living conditions and hes about 5 years old. He came to me with half his feathers missing and looking rather rough. I was told his previous diet was fast food! Whenever he hears a potato chip bag being opened he goes nuts to get some chips ! I have been fighting to get him to eat a healthier diet than Micky D's ! He refuses to eat most veggies and fruits He is very demanding and screams out when he wants something- he says one word and only whistles the first half of the wolf whistle.
I have tried the sprays and he hates them he washes them off in his water bowl- I started giving him more baths and he dont care. After his shower/baths he cuddles up to me to be blow dried and goes to sleep making baby sounds and I mean really asleep on my chest completely laying down with his face and beak laying against my neck with his eyes closed for about 45 minutes! Then he wakes up and wants to play and eat and groom ! I talked to the vet and he said he had to have a tragic event occur to him or abuse. I am making sure he gets 10-12 hours of sleep every night, I play with him 3 times a day and let him out of his cage while I fix dinner and watch tv- he gets fresh veggies, fruits, a few seeds and tons of other healthy stuff! The vet said he is very spoiled and laughed. But I am terrified he will pull out a blood feather. I just recently read about those and dont know what to do if he starts bleeding !! Can someone please help me? I am already in love with this lil stinker! OH I forgot to tell you- he hates men, screams and bites if they even come near. I did find out a man had thrown him across the room by his wing and slapped him alot.Here is some pics of my sweetheart.
