Thank-you for allowing me to join your group. I'm not quite an AG owner just yet. My bird is 10 weeks old right now and still being hand fed by the breeder. I owned an Indian Ringneck for 3 years until my wife complained about allergies. Now I have no wife and am getting a new bird. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions for the next while. Here's a photo of the baby with my daughter for now!

Congratulations! What a beautiful baby

Oh how exciting! I still remember meeting Alfie for the first time and then bringing him home. That was 17 years ago! Would love to hear more about your baby bird!

Love that little baby face!

Yep. Just as good the second time going down!

Poor Huey, it must be tough for him (and you as well of course!) Alfie always eats whatever he regurgitates. He hasn't done it for the last couple of years though as I'm out of favour. He never regurgitated for my housemate either, just me.

Huey butchers his feet every spring. We have to put him on haliperidol to get him to stop otherwise it will drag on all year. He refuses to sleep on his perch, goes round and round in his cage in the dark. It stresses us all the F out. But after 3-6 weeks of the meds, he settles down and it's back to Huey normal. So far I haven't had issues with GreycieMae (female). Not sure if they suffer from it as much.

Mine is 30+ yo. He still knows when it's Spring. He has found uses for his toys and I know without looking what he's doing because of his special noises. Mine is quick to regurgitate but will bring a little something up, roll it around in his mouth, and then decide 'nah, this is too good to share' and just re-swallow it himself. A real tease, so, sort of a selfish lover. (Or maybe, after 23 years together, he just knows I am not a willing recipient of being fed parrot vomit... lol)
