Hi!!
My name is Felicity O'Reilly and I am brand new to being a bird owner. For my 19th birthday my boyfriends mother gave me a 5 week old Indian Ringneck, named biscuit, whose mother have completed plucked him of feathers (including his brothers and sisters) .
Sadly poor biscuit had picked up his feather picking up from his mother had start to pull our his blood feathers as soon as they would come through. He had to wear the cone of shame for about 4 weeks before I notices he was no long trying to pick at himself and I've never seen another blood feather on the bottom of the cage again.
So from my birthday onwards I hand fed and trained my baby back to health. My bird is nearly 2 months old and loves his attention, loves his fruits and pellets and of course cuddles! Such a strange bird.
Biscuit is now eating, fruits, seeds, nuts and pellets (his favourite).
I'm just a little worried that he's starting to get a little nippy with me now, nothing to bad but I don't want biscuit to be nippy since I have a 6 year old sister and a 2 year old brother and we know what children are like.
biscuit also does these little baby cries and I'm just wondering how long they might last for?
Sorry for the bad picture quality
Thank for taking the time to read this.
