Any advice Indian Ringneck

[Sadiesbby]

I'm picking up a newly weaned Indian Ringneck tommrow he/she is 9 weeks old "she" has been handfed since "she" was two weeks old.

Congratulations

I thought they weaned older than that. 9 weeks seems so young. When you pick him/her up, just double check they have been weaned for a week.

I thought that as well! I've been looking into it and from 8 to 12 weeks is what I'm finding depending on the IRN and the hand feeder. She will be weaned for 1 week and 1 day tommrow I asked!

Worst comes to worst I'm an experienced hand feeder (of greys) its been years but its not something id ever forget how to do.

When we picked up Titan (in 1991!) he was 8 weeks old, hand-fed, and weaned. ..so everything sounds good.

Make sure you post some pics when you get a chance...

I definitely will be posting lots of pictures! "She" is a beautiful Violet Indian Ringneck

Titan and I age the same age that's awsome. I want my girl to be around that long!

Oooh I can’t wait to see pics!

I didn't take my guy home util he was over 12 weeks.

Even if she is old enough to eat on her own there is much to be learned from their peers when they are young. I would have left her with her siblings longer, but that is only my . Really if she is happy and healthy you are off to a good start. I also look forward to more picture.

We were honored to have Titan as part of our family for 26 years...he was one heck of a bird...

My advice is to just be really gentle with her, makes sure she stays in warm weather and gets plenty of sunlight for her feathers to grow healthy, make sure your feeding her good food and that your not overfeeding her, give it lot's of attention and make sure it gets around 12 hours of uninterupted sleep.

I have learned from a few folks that they are very routine like birds, and aren't always the best for travel since they can get anxious. But don't quote me on that, just info that I heard from an experienced bird trainer and raiser. Good luck on your new lil baby! The BF and I have always wanted a blue IRN

She loves car rides! I picked her up and drove her home (3 hour drive) she loves car rides! She does have a routine that I stick to
