My new Fosters!

[Sparkie]

hello there! I currently am fostering two female Indian ringnecks. I am wondering if anyone has some tips i got them just yesterday but would like to start out on a good note. I’m not new to birds, i have 3 budgies of my own. I have never owned an IRN and wanted to start with fostering for these reasons :
1) I don’t know if they are the right fit for us
2) they are loud and i don’t know if i could tolerate it long term (we will find out)
3) i don’t support buying birds
4) i want to do something good for the community
5) i love birds!

So any taming tips and stuff like enriching their life and how to make them the most adoptable I would love!

here is some about them, they came from a cruelty, hoarding and neglect case. they are TERRIFIED of humans, but i got one to eat some spray millet this morning. They bicker a lot so i’m contacting the place to see if that is an issue and if we need to find a solution. they are somewhat quiet compared to the other IRNs i saw there, but way louder than my budgies so on a scale from 1 -cockatoo i would say a 4.

anyways any and ALL advice is wanted

Thank you fostering! They are so pretty!

update! I’m gonna make a thread for all the pictures and stuff just so it’s all in one place. they started to eat millet out out of my fingers.

Update!

Asteria has decided that it's fun to throw carrots at the dogs , doggie may lose a few brain cells more, but not much can happen through the cage bars lol.

They both have a few applications pending, but Alaqua is VERY picky (as they should be) with bird adoptions. I doubt they will go through.

Sounds like a good start!

hey? You may want to replace those dowels but otherwise amazing job they look suuuper happy

Those dowels were in the travel cage. that was too small for her to be kept in.

on a rather very sad note, my budgie baby Bluberry died today. She was only 9.
